    God Tests Obedience, Not Loyalty - By Pastor Ondu Joseph

    Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Feb 17, 2025
     | 456 views

    Loyalty without obedience is meaningless. God does not test how much we claim to love Him; He tests whether we will follow His commands. Let us strive to be not just hearers of the Word but doers, walking in full obedience to His will.

    Scripture: 1 Samuel 15:22 - "But Samuel replied: 'Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the LORD? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.'" Introduction: Many believers equate loyalty to God with ...read more

    Goliath’s armor bearer took the brunt of the battle for him. Satan does the same to those who work for him. But God fights for us.

    The Failed Father Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 17, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,035 views

    When it comes to fatherhood, bad examples from Scripture can be good examples, once you know what a failed father has done wrong. Eli was a bad example. But what did he do wrong, and what can we learn from him so we can build better fathers?

    Someone once said that everyone is an example to others - some are GOOD examples, and some are BAD. And, believe it or not, bad examples can be good examples for us. For example, Eli was a “GOOD EXAMPLE” of a bad example of how to be a father. But before we get to Eli’s story (and what we can ...read more

    Lord Of The Sabbath ( Matthew 12:1-14)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 23, 2025
     | 405 views

    In this chapter, Jesus teaches the true meaning of the “Sabbath” and how it is to bring glory to God, not to be used as a religious weapon. The hostility towards Jesus was starting to grow.

    Before we undergo any further study of this chapter, it would be helpful to understand the concept of the “Sabbath”. According to the fourth commandment (Exodus 20:8), the Sabbath was set aside as one day in seven to cease from labor and take a rest from all unnecessary activity. Exodus 31:15 ...read more

    God desires for us to work alongside Him to accomplish His glorious work on earth.

    We continue to learn from the Book of 1 Samuel. We noted that the people of Israel did not want to listen to God and they demanded to have a king.

     | 6,382 views

    How often do we as Believers of Christ compromise with our faith?

    The Israelites were God’s chosen People and so they already had a King; God Himself was their King! But the Israelites wanted a human king just like the rest of their neighbors. The Israelites were basically saying, “God is not good enough” when they asked for a human king! How ...read more
