    The True Measure Of A Minister Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jul 18, 2023
     | 2,345 views

    Paul addresses his critics directly and highlighted a few lessons. A true ministry does not draw attention to himself, commits to the work God assigns and lives for the audience of One, his Lord.

    2 Cor 10:7-18 The True Measure of a Minister 2 Cor 10:7-18 – Paul addressing his critics 7Look at what is before your eyes. If anyone is confident that he is Christ’s, let him remind himself that just as he is Christ’s, so also are we. 8For even if I boast a little too much of our authority, ...read more

    Jesus was questioned about taxes paid to Rome

    Death and Taxes Mark 12:13-27 In 1789, Benjamin Franklin said, “Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency. …but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” Is that statement true; nothing is certain except death and ...read more

    Which King? Series

    Contributed by Lanny Smith on Mar 3, 2021
     | 2,508 views

    Bob Dylan famously wrote, "But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed you're gonna have to serve somebody." As disciples of Jesus, we must choose daily who gets to be king in our life. Which king do you follow?

    * Squeeze to the last drop: The manager at the local pub had what he considered to be the world’s strongest man working as his bouncer. In fact, the bouncer was so tough, the manager actually used the man to make money on the side with a little bet he had contrived over the years. The manager was ...read more

    The Blessing Of Frustration

    Contributed by Chris Mccall on Jul 25, 2025
     | 279 views

    There is a blessing that comes out of our frustration when we give ourselves to something bigger than us.

    Psalm 31:14-15 TPT I’m desperate, Lord! I throw myself upon You, for You alone are my God! My life, my every moment, my destiny—it’s all in Your hands. So I know You can deliver me from those who persecute me relentlessly. I think that I'm speaking to people today who, at some point, find ...read more

    The Church Of The Open Door

    Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 25, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 446 views

    There’s no perfect church. Jesus commends a faithful church—Philadelphia—for keeping His Word and not denying His name. The question for us: not “Are we perfect?” but “Are we faithful?”

    Have you ever heard this expression before? “If you’re looking for the perfect church, and you find it – if you find the perfect church – well you better not join it because it won’t be perfect anymore.” I love this. And the reason is because no one is perfect, right? There’s no such thing as a ...read more

    We all have the opportunity to serve God.

    A. LUKE 19:12-26 1. God owns everything. He is the nobleman who owns the money, the servants, the farm, and the increase from the work of the servants. 2. God trusts us with things He gives us. “A certain nobleman . . . called his ten servants and delivered them ten pounds” (19:12-13). ...read more

    Strengthening Your Faith

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 3, 2025
     | 218 views

    Faith believes God’s Word, acts on His promise, and speaks to storms—moving from obedience to authority as trust matures in Christ.

    Introduction How can you sing “Victory in Jesus” the right way if you don’t have any? You’ve heard it—people smiling and clapping through the song, but if you could look inside, the victory light is barely flickering. Life has a way of testing whether the words we sing are the life we ...read more

    Head Covering – Custom Or Ordinance?

    Contributed by Tarran Dookie on Jan 5, 2026
     | 107 views

    What does head covering depict? It depicts the submission of the woman to the man even as the man must submit to the headship of Christ. Head covering is about authority. We are not dealing with a mere first century Pauline concept but with the eternal word of God.

    HEAD COVERING – CUSTOM OR ORDINANCE? ( by brother Tarran Dookie) SUBMISSION TO AUTHORITY Gen 6:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto ...read more

    I am so grateful that when we have questions, that the Bible has answers. Last time we were together in this text we read that Paul , Barnabas and others were sent to Jerusalem to seek and understand where the church in Jerusalem stood on this very important matter.

    Render Unto Caesar

    Contributed by Charles Payne on Jan 29, 2026
     | 114 views

    It is Tax Season again; and Tax season stirs frustration, suspicion, and sometimes resentment. God knew it would. That is why Scripture does not merely command obedience—it explains the exchange.

    “RENDER UNTO CAESAR” — WHY PAYING TAXES IS A GOSPEL-SHAPED ACT SCRIPTURE READING: ROMANS 13 Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God. 2 So anyone who rebels against authority is rebelling ...read more

    Thyatira — When Faithfulness Is Subverted Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 31, 2026
     | 187 views

    Thyatira warns that faithfulness can be redirected when tolerance replaces discernment and Christ’s authority is quietly shared with other voices.

    By the time we arrive at Thyatira, something has already changed in us. Ephesus taught us that love can cool without rebellion. Smyrna taught us that faithfulness can be costly without being fragile. Pergamum taught us that proximity to power can quietly rearrange loyalty. So when we come to ...read more
