Telling the Truth

Faith means to believe with expectancy, but it also means to rest and trust. When we pray for healing, we’re not always certain of what God’s will is, but we can come before him with an attitude of rest and trust. In this message Stuart Briscoe teaches from James 5:13-18 to help us understand why prayer for the sick is important, why we should pray, and what we can expect from God in answering our...

There are many instances in Scripture where Jesus cured the sickphysically and spiritually. Can we expect that same kind of healing? Why are some people healed while others are not? These are important questions worthy of study, but another question that is equally important to ask is: why did Jesus perform miracles in the first place? Too often we have an inaccurate understanding of why Jesus hea...

We’re hungry for spectacular healing in our livesfor God to take away our infirmities in a moment’s work. For 38 years the crippled man lay on his filthy mat near the pool of Bethesda hoping to be healed when the water stirred. Jesus sought him out and asked him, Do you want to get well? On the surface, this might seem like an odd question, but maybe Jesus was getting at something richly profound....

Suffering can seem like an endless battle, because as soon as you get in it, you just want to get out. Hours, days, weeks, months, or even years can go by and you’re still asking, How long, oh Lord? So what do you do when you’re in a seemingly endless season of hardship? In this message, Jill shares how when we’re willing to wait out our seasons of suffering, God won’t let the time go to waste. To...

When trouble comes your way, are you quick to question it? Have you ever gone so far as to question God Himself? The world can tempt us into asking, How could a loving God let something so terrible happen? Have you ever found yourself pondering that question? Instead of questioning the character of God, Job willingly received suffering from God’s hands. But how was he able to accept the seemingly...

Contemporary songs have a brief life. Traditional songs last a little longer. But today's Scripture reading includes a fragment of a Christian hymn 2,000 years old. That alone makes it worthy of consideration. It's about Christmas and "the mystery of godliness." To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/508/29

We tend to think in terms of the here and now, and that’s understandablewe live here and we’re living now! But this world is not home for believers. If we’re too focused on the things of this world and never give a thought to living in the light of tomorrow, we won’t live well in the HERE and NOW! This might all sound like a challenging riddle, but the Apostle Peter uses this line of thinking to w...

The same mistakes are being made today. But He is still God and firmly in control. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/508/29

here were many false teachers in these days, and one of the things they were saying is that there's no need to worry about a final judgment. But that's just wrong! If we believe there's no final judgment, then it really doesn't matter what we do. If it doesn't matter what we do, then we can spend our life raising "hell." We can just go out and have a wild time! We can do everything that our lower...
