THE GREAT ADVENTURE - LIVING THE SPIRIT-FILLED LIFE
Dr. Stan Coffey
2 Corinthians 8:1-7
I just want to have a conversation with you, just a conversation with the pastor, and share with you how it really works, how God really works to do the marvelous things that He does in this church.

"Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." Look at the promise in 2 Corinthians 9:8: "And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times having all that you need, you will abound in every good work." What an exciting, exciting time this is.
The word "believe" is used 272 times in the Word of God. An important word, "BELIEVE on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved." The word "pray" is used 371 times in God's Word. The word "lov ...
