Why The Phenomenal Advent!!!

Contributed by Suresh Manoharan on Dec 20, 2017

In this Message, Yours truly aims to glean some lessons from the phenomenal advent of Christ. None before Him were born to a Virgin and none after Him. So why did Christ come into this World in such a miraculous way?

Why the Phenomenal Advent? Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.- Isaiah 7:14 (a prophecy roughly about 750 years before the birth of ...read more

The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph Some of you will celebrate New Year’s Eve via your television. I like what some comedian said about that.

On The Wings Of Eagles Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Sep 1, 2013

We need reminders to wait on God, to hope in Him. When we do, our strength will be renewed. By our own resources we will never achieve satisfaction or serenity. Trust in God produces confident expectations and a meaningful life.

In a Peanuts cartoon, Charlie Brown has a moment of reflection after losing a baseball game: “When I am down and out, I lift up my head and shout, ‘I’M DOWN AND OUT’!” People without God, who see life as a cosmic accident, have no Higher Power when life hurts. W ...read more

A Basic Explanation Of The Grace Of God

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Sep 15, 2021

Our series on Bible doctrines continues with a look at the definition and characteristics of the grace of God.

Grace is defined as the love and mercy of God in action. He showed His mercy and love for us, unworthy and undeserving as we are (Romans 3:10-18, 23, 6:23), when He sent His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to willingly bear upon Himself our sins and transgressions, which was the punishment we should ...read more

Jesus Christ: Our Model Of Suffering

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 20, 2022

In the eighteenth chapter of John's gospel, we are presented with the beginnings of the sufferings that the Lord Jesus would undergo for the sake of our redemption, paying a debt He did not owe for fallen humanity who could never pay it.

Several years ago, I came across a televangelist who peddled the ungodly "word-of-faith", or "prosperity" gospel that is poisoning the body of Christ in these last days. One of the "sales pitches" (and that is the only means by which I can define it) these folks ...read more

Angels: The Messengers And Servants Of God

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Oct 26, 2021

There has been a tremendous amount of literature, testimony, and fascination with the subject of angels and their purpose and mission in this world. The Word of God alone teaches the truth about these beings and their service to God and His people.

The symbols of God's majesty, promises, and acts toward His creation have been hijacked and misused by fallen humanity to promote agendas and teachings that are in total opposition to His Holy purposes and Being.

Awareness is defined as knowledge or perception of a situation or fact.

Henri Frederic Amiel, a Swiss philosopher once remarked: “It is by teaching that we teach ourselves, by relating that we observe, by affirming that we examine, by showing that we look, by writing that we think, by pumping that we draw water into the well.” 2 Corinthians 13:5 reminds us: “Examine ...read more
