39:38

As Christians we can tend to get fascinated in learning about the end times which is a good thing. However, we can sometimes focus on the wrong things and instead we need to know what we are to do while we are waiting for the Lord's return.

In Acts 19 the Apostle Paul makes a return trip to Ephesus and encounters twelve disciples where he asks them if they had received the Holy Spirit since they believed. I believe if the Apostle Paul were here today he would ask that same question of some Christians today. There was something lacking in the disciples that led to that question being a…

There may have been a time or two in our lives we felt like we hit rock bottom. What do we do when we hit rock bottom?

John 6 is a chapter that can be overlooked when reading the dialogue between Jesus and the disciples.

In 2 Corinthians 5:7 Paul tells the church in Corinth that despite all the obstacles they faced in their journey to minister the Gospel they could keep going because they were walking by faith and not by sight. Walking by sight is the opposite of walking by faith. When we walk by sight we are not pleasing to God. 10 of the 12 spies walked by sight …
