    God-Breathed And Useful

     | 7,016 views

    What is the Bible? And what to do with it? This sermon dives into the question of divine inspiration and the dual divine-human character of the Holy Scripture. God's word is alive and active, and it continues to speak to us personally whenever we open the Bible and our hearts.

    [This sermon was preached on 1 July 2018, Apostles' Sunday / 3rd yea, ELCF Lectionary] What is the Bible? And what to do with it? These are the two questions that the Apostle Paul is trying to answer in 2 Timothy 3:14–17. These were very relevant and very critical questions in the church that ...read more

    Gaal Driven Out Series

    There is nothing surprising about what is related here. The drunken celebration of the previous night had left Gaal and his men both mentally and physically unprepared for any kind of effective military activity, and Abimelech and his army easily defeated them.

    Chapter 43 Gaal Driven Out [Judges 9.34-9.41] Scripture: Judges 9:34-41 (KJV) 34 And Abimelech rose up, and all the people that were with him, by night, and they laid wait against Shechem in four companies. 35 And Gaal the son of Ebed went out, and stood in the entering of the gate of the ...read more

    Sermon National Day Of Prayer, When The Church Prays

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on May 10, 2024
     | 1,425 views

    No amount of preaching, teaching, singing, music, or activity will bring forth the genuine power and presence of the Holy Spirit like the fervent prayers of the righteous. Prayer changes things! When we work, we work; when we pray, God works!

    Subject - Effective Fervent Prayer Invites Divine Intervention Scripture - Acts 12:5-11 “So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him. The night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries ...read more

    Part 4: Why God Often Withholds Explanation Series

    Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Jan 23, 2026
     | 196 views

    If God is present and active, why is He so silent? We live in an age of information where we expect a 'why' for every 'what.' But in this message, we discover that God often withholds the explanation to protect the formation.

    The Question We're All Asking We've learned that God is hidden, but not absent. We've learned that silence is refinement, not punishment. We've learned that God knows us intimately, even in the darkness. But now we come to the hardest question of all. If God is really present. If ...read more

    Freedom

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jul 2, 2021
     | 5,296 views

    It is by our genuine obedient faith in Jesus and His atoning work on the cross that makes us free. When we surrender our life to Jesus and His death on the cross which paid for our sins, we can be really free. This freedom supersedes anything any nation or people can provide for us.

    Alba 7-4-2021 FREEDOM Romans 1:26-32 Today is the 4th of July, otherwise known as Independence Day. 245 years ago, our forefathers pledged their honor and their lives to the formation of a new nation free from outside interference and control.

    Separation is such an ugly word to many in Christianity today. We want to be inclusive. But have we become so inclusive that we have forgotten that purity in God’s church and God’s people is of more value to God than surrendering standards for some so c

    Each of us is a wounded warrior in the battle of life. We don’t have strength enough to fight the battles on our own. But as we surrender our brokenness to God, He will give us the strength to be peacemakers. He makes up the difference between our abil

    What’s the calling Paul talks about in Ephesians 4:1? Is it God calling you to surrender yourself to Him! Then you responding to God’s personal call on your life and saying “Yes, Lord! Not my will but your will be done!”

    Why Answer? On the Lighter side: These are all apparently true statements made by important people... "I'm not going to have some reporters pawing through our papers.

    The Call: Come By Pastor John Mateos Ong

     | 8,286 views

    God offers us a great banquet that sometimes we doubted for being too good to be true, but we can prove to ourselves that our Lord’s offer is far more than what we thought if we only surrender to him and accept His calling.

    Many of us have been blinded by unnecessary things that life itself offers. Prestigious car, jewelry, and a feast of delicious food are just some of what we believe are the best things to receive and attain in our lives. And because of these unnecessary things that we tend to value, we have ignored ...read more

    The Sin Remover Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,292 views

    Life really begins when we surrender our sin and pride to the Sin Remover. Our day of salvation needs to be remembered with praise! Is a lifetime long enough to praise Him? Is eternity long enough? It’s time to proclaim: “That’s MY King!”

    The Sin Remover Exodus 12:7-46, 1 Peter 1:17-25 (Second and final in the series That’s My King!) Show video: "That’s My King!" (S. M.

    Aligning Ourselves With The Will Of God, Not Our Own - By Pastor Joseph Ondu

    Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Feb 17, 2025
     | 577 views

    One of the greatest struggles in the Christian life is aligning our will with God’s. Many times, we have our own plans, desires, and ambitions, but God calls us to surrender them to Him. Walking in alignment with God's will is not always easy, but it is always best.

    Aligning Ourselves with the Will of God, Not Our Own Scripture: Proverbs 3:5-6 - "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Introduction: One of the greatest struggles in the ...read more

    We may lose some things that may be desirable in this life by surrendering our lives to Jesus, but the life we gain is far greater than anything we have now. And the life in Christ is always learned through the preaching of the Word, in whatever form it comes to us.

    How many of you have found yourself looking for something that was lost, but no matter how hard you searched, you couldn’t find it? I think we can all say that this has happened to us at some point. There is a commercial running on the TV right now where a man is searching the house over trying ...read more

    Who’s boss? Is Jesus Christ really the Lord of your life? At this very moment, Jesus Christ is the Lord of your life, or He is not. Either you have surrendered your life to Him and He is running the show, or you are still at the help of your life.

    Who’s Boss? Colossians 1:15-18 ; Philippians 2:5-11 1. God said He was Acts 2:36 2. Because of creation Colossians 1:15-18 3. Jesus said He was John 13:13 4. It is His destiny Phil 2:5-11 5.

    Jesus tells the disciples He will have to suffer and Peter rebukes HIm. Jesus tells them that unless they deny themselves & take their cross, they'll be rejected. The power of God only flows into a crucified life. Have you surrendered all yet?

    THE COST OF DISCIPLESHIP Mk. 8:31-38 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A teacher with obvious liberal tendencies told her class of small children that she was an atheist. She asked her class, “How many of you want to be atheists too?” Not knowing what atheism is, but wanting to be like their teacher, ...read more
