Good Morning Body
“The Holy Spirit will glorify Me, for He will take of mine and will disclose it to you.” John16:14
One reason many hurting Christians don’t get the help they need is that they go to the wrong person first. A pastor is not the Holy Spirit. Neither is a christian counselor or therapist. Neither [...]
“Who Do You Trust?” - 11.19.09
Family, read Proverbs 3:5-7
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;

Scripture: God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. Ephesians 3:20

“Obedience Is The Key To Your Miracle” - 11.12.09
COBBC,
There are several examples in the Bible of God giving instructions to His people either directly or through one of His prophets. No matter how ridiculous the instructions were, when obeyed, there was victory. God gave Joshua specific instructions concerning Israel’s capture of Jericho (Joshua 6:2-5).
In the New Testament, every time Jesus gave instructions which [...]

On Wed. night Pastor Dotson was teaching from the book of Esther, now if you take 30 minutes to read it for yourself you’ll find that God is never mentioned. However I found Him in the following places:
