    Looking at John the Baptist’s words that he must decrease and Christ must increase teaches us to do the same.

    First Baptist Church September 22, 2002 >I< John 3:22-36 When you think about words, the word "DOWN" doesn’t have many positive meanings. It’s a word reserved for cowards, losers and bear markets. It’s a word that is to be avoided or ignored. When you attach it to other words it brings them ...read more

    Now these issues will destroy your life if you do not have one necessary component. That necessary component is a rock solid assurance in the character of God. When you can not understand what He is doing, the only thing you have left is your certainty

    As Christians we think that when we come to Christ everything will be a bed of roses. At times, we have to wrestle with things that seem the exact opposite of what we know of God. At times, I get questions as a pastor to try to explain the Tsunamis, earthquakes, illness, and such. Quite ...read more

    God sat us beside Christ His Son when we believe in Him.

    The body of Christ needs to acknowledge the fact that we as believer's are not on our own and because of the Lord Jesus Christ, we have been given a place of authority and the power to carry out exploits here on earth to the glory of His name. We are not just ordinary believer's anymore all ...read more

    Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 9, 2016
     | 3,317 views

    Jesus Christ is the greatest revolutionary who ever lived. Jesus demands, not only personal revolution -- of our hearts, priorities, behavior, and words -- but also for us to bring revolution to the world around us!

     | 3,124 views

    Many so-called Christian churches claim that believers can only maintain a right relationship with God and the hope of heaven through the priests, or mediators, that they have authorized for these purposes. Does God's word support such a teaching. Find out from Hebrews 7:1-19.

    Not everyone is called to the mud-in-the-eye ministry, but if you are then you’ll be a miserable failure trying to do anything else. John 9 offers us an opportunity to spend time with Jesus in the school of ministry.

     | 100 views

    In the midst of tears, fear, confusion and discouragement, the Risen Lord Jesus was right there beside his distraught disciples and followers to empower them and encourage them. No matter what we are going through let’s never forget our living Savior will never leave us nor forsake us.

    Today’s meditation is based on John 20:14-15, Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?

    Today, let us celebrate the unity that we share in Christ. Let us abandon pretend unity in favor of living out life together in Christ in genuine Christian community.

    Life Together, Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 Introduction In this life, I’ve found that people are a lot like bouncy balls. We spend all of our years bouncing through this life.
