Contributed by Babatunmishe Oke on Oct 8, 2024

The vagabond spirit is the spirit that makes a person live an irregular life or a wandering life. Some contribution has been added from Dr D.O Olukoya's teachings.

Throughout the Bible God speaks of the importance of parents raising their children to obey the Lord. After Lot's wife had turned back to look at Sodom and turned to salt, Lot and his two daughters fled from the plain up into the hills, where they could be safer. There were no settlements ...read more

Eli's Sin

Contributed by Samuel M on Oct 15, 2024

Eli did not lose his spiritual sight because of his physical age, but because he failed to correct the wrongdoings in the church while being in a position of God's authority.

And it came to pass at that time, while Eli was lying down in his place, and when his eyes had begun to grow so dim that he could not see. 1 Samuel 3:2 Eli’s sin was that being in position of God’s authority, he failed to correct the wrongdoings of his sons and God’s house. Being in a position of ...read more

What Most Miss! Series

Contributed by Apostle Dr. Belinda V. Broadnax on Oct 24, 2024

This sermon explores the subtle ways God speaks and how we often miss His voice because we are not paying attention. It challenges believers to be spiritually alert, recognizing that God’s voice is often found in unexpected places and circumstances.

Have you ever felt like you missed something important? Maybe it was an opportunity, a moment, or a conversation that could have changed everything. Spiritually speaking, many of us have missed something just as important: the voice of God. He speaks, He guides, but often His voice is missed ...read more

Religion Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Nov 7, 2024

Religion imprisons in ritual, Jesus frees us through our willingness to surrender all to Him

We continue our series of escape by looking at another area of ourselves that keeps us from experiencing the freedom Jesus’ coming and rising offer us. The last couple of weeks we spoke about escaping bad decisions and the shame/guilt that accompanies them, this week I’d like to explore how to ...read more

Sermon – The Neglected Vineyard

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Feb 27, 2024

The key takeaway from Song of Solomon 1:5-6 is that it does not matter what a person looks like on the outside, for true beauty is not found in physical features, but rather moral character and purity. Work on yourself more than for others.

Sermon – The Neglected Vineyard Scripture: Song of Solomon 1:4-9 “Draw me, we will run after You, The King has brought me into his chambers; we will be glad and rejoice in You, we will remember Your love more than wine; the upright love You.

The New Move Of God

Contributed by Samuel M on Feb 29, 2024

The present state of the church is “the fire has left, and we are looking at the ashes.” We are simply looking at the past exploits and trying to create new exploits of God based on those past exploits. It’s as if, after God’s fire has left, from the ashes we are planning to do new exploits.

Sermon # 47 - The Holy Hand Of God Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 7, 2023

Our God is a holy God and we as His children are called to be a people ‘set apart’ for the Lord. Success is ours when we choose to walk in holiness, and failures are times when we must take stock of our lives to see where we have failed.

The promise of God as given to us at the onset of this year was from Act 11:21 “And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.” (KJV) As we meditated and studied on the various aspects of the Hand of God, we realized that God’s hand protects us, His ...read more
