BIBLICAL COMMUNITY and MISSION What The Corona Virus Is Teaching The Church Dan O’Deens / May 25, 2020 “Not Giving Up Meeting Together” - HEBREWS 10:25 (In Context) v.19 ‘brothers and sisters, we have confidence to enter the Most Holy place by the blood of Jesus’ When Jesus breathed his last and said it is [...]
God Provides For Your NEEDS So many times we plead for God to give us our desires while he is busy caring for our needs. Then we get confused as to why God didn’t give us what we asked for. And, we use God as a punching bag for not giving us our desires. Little [...]
Our Purpose Behind Traveling Having the ability to travel with purpose simply involves asking ourselves one question... “What is my desire?” As Christians, if we claim to believe in the expansion of the Gospel, and intend to go somewhere with purpose, our desire must be to follow His call and go, wherever it is He [...]
It's Not Culture Versus The Bible... Culture might tell you that you need a certain degree in order to be a missionary or be a certified pastor, but the Bible does not. The Bible tells you point-blank what you need to do in order to be a missionary or a pastor. Make disciples. That’s in [...]
