Moses was 80 years old when God called him. Caleb, 85, and he said, give me this mountain. Today we look at somebody else in this hall of faith in Hebrews 11. This person is a man by the name of Abraham. This all started for him at age 75, but he would be 100 years old when he had his firstborn child through Sarah, his wife, and a son by the name of Isaac. What I have discovered in these verses is...

Streamed live on May 28, 2023 LADNER Age is a limitation for some, but not for God. He can use any person at any age. Abraham was seventy-five years old when God called him and one hundred years old when Isaac was born.

Attention-getting events have come to be known as a wake-up calls. Wake-up calls require action. We learn from this message that information without appropriate action can lead to devastation. In Daniel 5, Belshazzar had all the information, but he didn't act on it. Like in the time of Daniel, God seeks to get people's attention throughout their lives and many times with the intention for...

The idea of the dare with the Book of Daniel really isn't new or unique. It actually is borrowed from a song in the 1800s penned by a Sunday school teacher in Chicago to help his students remember the points of the Book of Daniel. And his little song went like this: "Dare to be a Daniel, dare to stand alone. Dare to have a purpose firm. Dare to make it known." Daniel 1: 1-3 Deuterono...

If you should find the perfect church Where all anxieties cease Then pass it by, lest joining it You'd mar the masterpiece. If you should find the perfect church Then don't you ever dare, To tread upon such holy ground; You'd be a misfit th...
