You will also discover the four counterfeit values the enemy has established in their place.

The storms of life threaten all of us at one time or another, leaving us feeling lost, alone, and without any hope. We all face adversities in the name of relationships, physical and mental health, the pain of loss, work stress, finances, and persecution. Our relationship with Jesus Christ does not always exclude us from all the unpleasant circumstances life sometimes throws our way. But the Bible makes it clear that when we turn our lives over to God and pursue Him wholeheartedly, He will never leave us nor forsake us.

There is a familiar passage of scripture, Matthew 10:16, that is greatly misunderstood. Jesus is sending the apostles out on their first evangelistic mission and he tells them, “I am sending you out as sheep among wolves.” A major part of the misunderstanding comes from the fact that these were grown men, despite referring to them as lambs. Jesus wasn’t sending out lambs, he was sending out rams (adult male sheep), and rams aren’t weak or passive.

God is calling us upward! But first, in order to align with his will for us, we must go deeper in our understanding of who he is with a desire to truly know his word so that we, his children, may rest in the security of the height, the depth, the width, and the length of our Father’s love for us. This will enable and equip us to step into our upward calling for his glory and his glory alone. Journey with me as we delve into his word to discover our seasons, wait in our delays, stand still when God closes the door, give birth to our callings, and rejoice in his outcome.

If you love Jesus but are unhappy, disappointed, frustrated, disillusioned, or just plain burned-out with church or religion, I have good news for you. There is a problem with church, but it’s neither your fault nor God’s fault and you’re not required to “try harder” to fix it. Furthermore, you’re not alone. More and more evangelical Christians sense that church and religion are somehow at odds with a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. God has already given us the “way of escape.” His answer has always been hiding in plain sight in the New Testament.

All Christians and sinners should understand that the whole plan is complete. They should understand that the whole of Christ—his character, his work, his atoning death, and his ever-living intercession—belongs to each and every person and simply needs to be accepted. There is a full ocean of it.

Meditation in the Kingdom of God has been clouded with deception, misunderstanding, and anti-Christ teachings of Eastern religion. In this masterpiece work, Dr. James Nanjo is used by the Holy Spirit to answer questions about the most sought-after and misguided subjects of the Kingdom.

The power that created empires, the Seven Wonders of the world, and the future of marvels have been rediscovered in this work.

When it comes to talking about Jesus with our family members, friends, and coworkers, many of us aren't sure how to go about doing it. We don't want to come off as awkward, pushy, or weird. As a result, we sometimes give up on sharing about Jesus altogether. In this five-session study, Hosanna Wong crushes the lies that hold us back from sharing the most important story in the world. Join Hosanna in discovering what God's Word actually says about revealing His love to the people right next us, and how we are already equipped to reach those who don't know how much God loves them (yet).
