The Neutrals Series

Contributed by Shingirayi Gwete on Nov 21, 2020

Is there a neutral ground when it comes to matters of religion? Is it possible for one to consider themselves as a non-aligned? Can you take the middle ground? Can you sit on the fence? In short, can you be neither on God's side nor the devil’s side? Let us get our answers from the sermon.

A neutral country is defined as a state which does not take sides of belligerents (warring parties) in a specific war or future conflicts. Such states refuse to even enter into ...read more

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Sep 6, 2020

To have an opinion is to have a viewpoint; to have a belief about something. A person's opinion can be based on their feelings, what they've been taught, what the people they admire say, etc. But are they true? Should opinions matter when it comes to God's word?

Elijah The Prophet Of Fire Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 11, 2021

Elijah broke into the atmosphere of human history like a comet. We have no story of his birth or background. His coming was as sudden and mysterious as was his going in the flaming chariot.

Elijah was the Luther of the Old Testament. He was God's man of the hour to begin a reformation and lead the children of Israel back to God. For about 50 years devotion to God had been decreasing. Ahab was now king in Israel, and he was more wicked than all who had gone before him. He married ...read more

Elijah's Question For Pagan America

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Aug 24, 2021

Just as the prophet Elijah challenged the people of Israel to make up their minds as whether to serve God or Ba'al, the same question needs to be brought before America today. The time has come to settle the issue and accept the consequences.

This nation is at the edge of the cliff. All it will take is one more step to go over, regulating America to the dustbin of history. For over sixty years since prayer and Bible reading were removed from the public schools by a poor interpretation of the First Amendment by a liberal Supreme Court ...read more

Necessity & Intensity Of Prayers That Brings Outstanding Miracles

A. It is prayer that activates the fulfilment of God’s promises: The title of this message includes the word ‘necessity’ because: ? Although God had promised rain in 1 Kings 18:1 that He would send rain, Elijah still needed to pray before the fire fell and before the rain came. ? Although the ...read more

Sleep In Heavenly Peace

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Aug 15, 2021

I read an article where the writer posed a question: "what keeps you up at night?" It's too early to think about Christmas songs but I thought, 'what better sleep could there be than to sleep in heavenly peace?' Let's see how.
