Our prayers are out of balance

14MarchPastor WesChristian Living, Prayer

Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss …- James 4:3 We are in an era when few people are truly experiencing the power of God in their prayer lives. Few are having regular, consistent answers to their prayers. The midweek prayer service at most churches is either the smallest service or it has

Worshiping God AND Idols!

28FebruaryPastor Wes1 CommentChristian Living

II Kings 17:33 They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence. I have often preached how the nation of Israel in the Old Testament would leave their faith in God and begin to worship the idols of the nations around them. While

Looking at the story of the Good Samaritan we see several things: 1). Compassion takes a Vision (Luke 10:33). The Good Samaritan “saw” the need. He
