Discipleship & Evangelism

  • Facing a new year can elicit a variety of responses. Some feel a sense of excitement and renewal in looking forward to the coming year. Others feel like life is spinning out of control, wondering where the year went.

Politics & Current Events

Prayer & Spiritual Life

  • Our prayers are ineffectual unless we understand not only how to pray, but also what to pray. Jesus gave us the Lord's Prayer to use as a pattern for our prayers — and as a tool for you to experience power in prayer like never before.
  • A new relationship takes times to develop and blossom.
  • We can all remember our school days when we were faced with exams. We spent all day in school — and still we panicked when it came to test time.

  • Most of the questions we ask concerning life will not be clearly defined in God's Word.
  • On the surface, happiness and joy are similar; they are both uplifting and blissful experiences.
  • All around us the world is changing, and most of these changes are not for the better.

  • In Matthew 24, Jesus' disciples asked when He would return to usher in the end of the age. Instead of revealing how long they should wait, Jesus taught them how to wait for His return.
  • The Christian life without hope is meaningless. Uncover the truth of unending hope in Michael Youssef's article, "Higher Hope".
  • Everything valuable comes with a price-and freedom is no exception.
  • What is your reaction to Christ's return?
  • One of the greatest hindrances to accepting God's plan of salvation is the world's post-modern view that truth is not absolute but is determined by individual opinions.

Sin

  • God's grace is undeserved and lavish, and when we grasp its truth and power, we are transformed with gratitude, freed from the power of sin, and given a fullness of joy.
  • Are you living in bondage to bitterness, refusing to forgive those who have hurt you? Discover the freedom of forgiveness that Jesus secured on the cross.
  • When we are serving and sharing Christ, the Enemy will be carefully planning his next and most effective attack on our lives.

Blindsided: The Radical Islamic Conquest
In the wake of rubble and smoke spreading throughout downtown New York, Washington DC, and in a field in Pennsylvania, America was immersed in shock, confusion, and terror. We feared that September 11, 2001 was only the beginning, and despite our growing doubts over the years, we were right. Blindsided is the wake-up call that will change the way you understand Islam.
