Lessons From Olivet

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 28, 2022

The Mount of Olives was important to Jesus. It is a place of praise, a place of rest, a place of communion, a place of surrender, a place of blessing, and a place of retreat – things important to both Christ and believers today.

I’ve entitled our message today “Lessons from Olivet,” and I wish to begin by reading Luke 22:39, which is our focal verse. This verse says, “Coming out, He went to the Mount of Olives, as He was accustomed, and His disciples also followed Him.” This morning, I feel led to preach a message about ...read more

The One Appraising Us Is Christ (1 Corinthians 4:1-21) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 29, 2022

Don't boast; don't become proud. Be faithful servants, and don't pick apart Christians' motives. You can't see in their heads. Also, stop navel gazing.

Let's start today, by rereading 1 Corinthians 3:18-23: (18) No one must deceive himself: if anyone thinks wise to be among you this age, a fool he must become, in order he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world, foolishness with God it is. For it is written, "The One catching ...read more

How Rich Are We, In Christ, Right Now? (1 Corinthians 4:1-21, Part 2) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 29, 2022

Are we kings, already? The answer is "yes" and "no." But our riches are for service, to be used in humility. Not to lift ourselves up.

Last week, we worked through 1 Corinthians 4. Admittedly, I didn't really explain the last half of the chapter at all. I think I had three reasons for this. None of which are very important, but here they are: (1) Chapter 4 hangs together as a single argument, and I wanted to catch the ...read more

Close The Gaps - Circle The Wagons

Contributed by Val Black on Oct 21, 2019

God's work never goes forward without opposition from the enemy. In fact, opposition is almost always caused by success and not failure. In building the walls of Jerusalem, Nehemiah faced much opposition but he knew what to do and now we can know also.

Nehemiah 4:7-23 (NLT) “But when Sanballat and Tobiah and the Arabs, Ammonites, and Ashdodites heard that the work was going ahead and that the gaps in the wall of Jerusalem were being repaired, they were furious. 8  They all made plans to come and fight against Jerusalem and throw us into ...read more

You Can Finish Well Series

Contributed by Bright Adeyeye on Nov 12, 2019

You are energised and passionate when you start a new project or ministry. But after awhile the newness of the project fades. You lost your passion, get bored, tired and discouragement sets in. Now is the time to get back to your dreams. You can finish well.

YOU CAN FINISH WELL, EVEN IN THE MIDST OF DISCOURAGEMENT "But it so happened, when Sanballat heard that we were rebuilding the wall, that he was furious and very indignant, and mocked the Jews. 2 And he spoke before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, “What are these feeble Jews ...read more

Responsibilities Of Christian Parents

Contributed by John White on Nov 18, 2019

God personally established the institutions of marriage and family when he gave Eve to Adam and united them in holy wedlock in the garden. He then commanded them to be fruitful and multiply and populate the earth.

Esther Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 3, 2022

Mordecai, Esther's uncle, offended a high court official called Haman, who decided to kill not only Mordecai but all the Jews in the Persian empire. Esther turned the tables on Mordecai. She pleaded with the King, and Haman was punished – hanged on the very gallows he had built for Mordecai.

The story of Esther centers around Queen Vashti, King Ahasuerus, Esther, Mordecai, Haman, and the Jewish people. If you are not already familiar with these individuals, they have been briefly introduced to us in the following paragraphs. Who was Esther? 1. Queen Vashti disobeyed the drunken orders ...read more

Come To The Other Side

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Sep 10, 2024

Two disciples were challenged to cross the sea of Galilee. It takes faith to cross over, and we must make the crossing if we ever hope to be in God's will. Crossing over is about moving from where we are to where Jesus is.

“Many years ago, it was decided to put a suspension bridge across a wide gorge. How could they build a bridge across such a wide space? If fact, how could they even start? They shot an arrow from one side to the other. The arrow carried across the gulf a tiny thread, and thus the connection was ...read more

"have Yourself A Very Happy Renew Year!"

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 24, 2024

As we enter a New Year, we never know what things will be like during the next 365 days.

God has a purpose in us not knowing the future. God the Father wants us to daily spend time in prayer talking to Him, but if we knew everything, we would not need to seek Him daily for guidance. But many during this NEW YEAR would like to know what this New Year is going to hold for them. ...read more
