People Set Free Through Jesus Christ
"And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.

Salvation to All the Earth

Believing Jesus
In what do you believe? In whom do you believe? It does make a difference what we believe. Hear the words of Jesus: "Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on Me, believeth not on Me, but on Him that sent Me. And he that seeth Me seeth Him that sent Me. I am come …
Division
No, we are not dealing with a mathematics problem. We are going to deal with the division that is still present concerning the matter of Jesus. "Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet. Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ …
The Ministry of Decrease
Christian men and women struggle with the labor of ministry; and its rewards. The greatest reward of ministry is seeing people come to faith in Christ Jesus, through of the preaching and teaching the word of God, that we do. Our influence on these people though should decrease as those individuals grow in the faith …
Jesus Knows
Humanity; all of us, can be so excited about a person, event, or miraculous happening one moment, and the next turn our hearts and mind against it. I believe that is called "fickleness". There were some people in Jesus's day who wanted to make Him King when they heard Him teach and saw His miracles …

Prayer, Power and Perseverance
Jesus often taught His disciples, and others with parables. I heard of parables described this way: Parables are earthly stories with heavenly meaning. Jesus had a way of telling a story to bring out the truth of His life, work and ministry; as well as what was in the hearts and minds of people. In …
The Feigning Listening Ear
We have all been in a conversation with one or more with friends, family, people where we work, etc.; and stood there hearing sounds, but rather than listening we feign listening; while we are planning what we are going to say, when we get a chance. You know what I am talking about now. Be …
