A Life Of Turning Aside

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jan 24, 2024

This world is full of distractions and diversions. God wants us to minimize both and spend time with Him. This message is about Satan's purpose for diversions and distractions.

The song we sang said “I’ll praise until my breakthrough. I will praise because I trust you.” Sometimes we need to be reminded that faith and trust, oftentimes, requires patience and it requires endurance. It requires us to be willing to hang in there and continue to do what we know we need to do ...read more

Mocking At The Blood Of Jesus Christ. Series

Worthy Is The Lamb! (Revelation 5)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Feb 8, 2024

The Lord Jesus Christ has all things and events under His Divine and Sovereign control. He has the final word on how everything will conclude. No amount of evil on the world's part will stop Him from His mission to "make all things new".

I sometimes think that when we study the book of Revelation, we tend to focus upon the impending judgments of the wicked and the horrendous consequences that follow. While God's wrath is certainly a major theme of the book, we must remember that the book of Revelation is also a book of ...read more

The Case For Daily Repentance: Examining Yourself Daily In Your Walk With Christ

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Oct 26, 2022

One of the best things you can do is sit down with another Christian or your pastor and confess the sin. It loses a lot of power when you share it with someone else.

Today I’d like to make the case to you for the concept of daily repentance. As Christians we know we must be born again of the Spirit to share in the inheritance of Christ. We must be truly born again. We must be a new person. And as a new person in Jesus Christ we have the holy spirit within us. ...read more
