Loving People You Are Stuck With Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Sep 19, 2010

How do we love the unlovable? We can flee them, fight them or forgive them. Jesus shows us the forgiving heart. We want to (1) release them through forgiveness, and (2) change them through love.

One of the greatest attributes of Jesus is His forgiving heart. • Jesus said at the outset that He has not come to condemn, but to redeem. • This is remarkable because Jesus, being just and holy, has all the right to condemn. • We have failed in many ways; we have done wrong countless times. Yet ...read more

Not Ashamed Of The Gospel

Contributed by Bob Marcaurelle on Aug 24, 2018

Sharing the gospel next door and around the world is criticized by those around us, some who are in our churches. We need to share because we are told to do it and because people desprately need it to be released from the pain and penalty of wrongdoing.

Lessons From Jeremiah – Part 15 – Swifter Than Eagles The Land Will Be Scorched By Babylon Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Apr 13, 2024

Judah rejected the true message because they want to believe the lie. All actions have a consequence and the time for accountability had arrived. The human heart embraces sin so firmly it will not release it and hastens on to its own destruction. Babylon was the scorching wind.

The Power Of Forgiveness

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jan 25, 2025

Forgiveness is a powerful act that reflects the heart of God. It frees us from bitterness, restores relationships, and enables us to live in peace and harmony. However, forgiveness is often challenging, especially when the hurt is deep.

Dissatisfaction Or Fulfillment? Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 2, 2003

Like Judas, despite all we have, we feel dissatisfied. Dissatisfaction comes from too small a vision of where our lives must go or depending on others to give us meaning. A relationship with Jesus gives us redemption and release.

The Ministry Gifts

Obey God, Or Accept The Consequences

Contributed by Craig Condon on Dec 10, 2015

We can’t let fear or ignorance keep us from giving the lost people a message that can change their eternal destiny. The apostle Paul was not ashamed of the Gospel because through it God’s power is released to save humanity.
