Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. It all started over 100 years ago in a bicycle shop in Dayton, Ohio. Two brothers, with the unlikely names of Wilbur and Orville, both self-taught engineers lacking high school diplomas and formal education, dreamed of the […]
Faith untested is faith unknown, and it is during such tests that the level of a believer’s trust becomes so important. Jesus has all power in Heaven and in earth, so He also has power over every trouble, trial, and sickness. Consequently, just because a man or woman can’t see Him moving, that doesn’t mean […]
Part 1 / Lesson 3 – WHAT IS FAITH? During the Old Testament the word “faith” was seen as the act of being faithful to a calling or need. During the New Testament the word “faith” was seen as the act of believing in a teaching and/or a teacher, and thereby becoming an obedient and faithful […]
Part 1 / Lesson 2 – THE ETERNAL ONE GOD The writer of Hebrews said that when we come to God we must first believe that “He is.” The Bible shows that Jesus was God incarnate.

Many people would describe seeing a stain-glassed cathedral of stone and marble. Some would speak of a more humble structure with a white steeple and wooden […]
The question whether Noah’s flood was localized or worldwide is answered in the Bible. There we find that Noah’s flood is said to have been deep enough to cover “all the high mountains under the whole heaven.” That would be impossible if the flood was only localized. But such depth would have caused a worldwide […]
Does God still do miracles? I would emphatically answer that with a “Yes, He does”! I know this for certain because of personal encounters I’ve had with Him. Here are just a few of these: At age seven I was dying from a lung problem. The doctors were not sure what I had, but they […]
A boy gave up his fish and bread lunch. Jesus used that to feed thousands of hungry souls. An assembly of 120 disciples gave up their fear of persecution. Jesus used that to spread the gospel to the descendants of Israel in every nation. A woman of ill repute at a well ignored her shame. […]
Only fear the LORD and serve him faithfully with all your heart. For consider what great things he has done for you. (1Sa 12:24 ESV) The first recorded celebration of Thanksgiving in North America was in Newfoundland in 1578. An English minister named Wolfall presided. There are records of another held in Maine in 1607. […]
Romans 12:3-5, 9-10, 16 (3) For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. (4) For as we have many […]
