The Power Of God At Work In Our Lives

Contributed by Gbemisola Fafowora on Oct 12, 2017

The good news is the power of God in our lives because of His Son Jesus Christ. Jesus came for a purpose and when He fulfilled that purpose He brought us back to His Father. And through this we see his power at work in every area of our lives.

Starting from Romans 1:16 Paul says this : For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. Another translation puts it this way For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is ...read more

Dealing With Our Sinful Nature Series

Contributed by Paul Clemente on Aug 16, 2010

God tells us to be “obligated” to Him not because God needs us but because God loves us and knows what’s best for us!

We continue our study of the Letter to the Romans. Through the Apostle Paul, God spoke to the Christians in Rome 2000 years ago, but much of this letter is applicable to all Christians, especially for those of us here in America. Before reading our passage today, which is Romans 7:7–8:17, let us ...read more

Capital Distinction

Contributed by Dr. Amen Howard on Aug 4, 2014

Every time God brings His people together is to make them to become what they have not become before. Every time God calls, He called for a Purpose, the first time God called He said, come let us make man in our image. That was the first time God called a meeting.

God is in the process of making people, So He called another meeting and He said it is not good for man to be alone, He said again let us make a help meet for him. So Every time God calls a meeting, it is to make life comfortable for man. . That is why I am persuaded today that God called you to ...read more

A Study Of Psalm 38 Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jan 20, 2018

David understood calling out to God - because he knew who He was. In the same manner, we need to understand who we are and why we need to cry out to God for everything we need.

His Unspeakable Gift

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Nov 19, 2017

The greatest gift we have is that of Christ. Paul describes it as indescribable. It is so because of incomprehensible love, an inexpressible sacrifice, and its inexplicable result.

His Unspeakable Gift – 2 Corinthians 9:12-15 In 2 Corinthians 9, Paul, writes about human gifts. During the 40s A.D., a famine swept across Judea, and Jerusalem Christians were in need. The church at Corinth took up offerings to give to the suffering Christians in Jerusalem. Paul commends them for ...read more

Plans And Prayers

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jul 26, 2022

A month ago I saw a plaque that had a different take on Robert Frost's poem. It said something like this: “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by. Now where in the world am I?

Alba 7-24-2022 PLANS AND PRAYERS Romans 15:22-33 In determining the purpose in the will of God for us, sometimes we just don't get it right.

When God Comes In Judgment (Zephaniah 1:1-18) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 12, 2022

God is coming in judgment against his people, and the whole world, because they are half-hearted in following him. God expects total allegiance, and not partial.

This week, we begin a short, three week study on the book of Zephaniah. Let's start by reading verse 1: (1) The word of Yahweh that was/came to Zephaniah son of Gedalyah son of Amaryah son of Khezkeyah in the days of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah.

Come, Long Expected Jesus

Contributed by Craig Condon on Jul 8, 2015

If we obey God’s will for our lives like Mary and Elizabeth did, we will be richly blessed like they were because we will be blessed by the light and life of Christ-a light that shines brightly in our dark, sinful world.

Anne couldn’t think of a good reason that God should give her a grandchild. And even though it was one of her deepest desires, she had almost given up on the idea. God had already blessed her with two wonderful children. Her son decided to remain single and had devoted his life to Bible ...read more

The Return Ticket Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Nov 19, 2006

The same strategies that fail outside of God’s timing can work wonderfully within God’s timing. The patterns we see before Moses left Egypt are repeated as Moses left Midian, but they now produce success because God’s time is right.

The Return Ticket (Exodus 4:18-31) 1. I do not like many movies, especially newer ones. Although Christian convictions would limit what and how much I watch, if I was lost I still would rarely watch movies. It is who I am. I am, for the most part, a movie dud. 2. I will watch Charlie Chan, or ...read more

The Blessing Of Love Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Nov 15, 2015

We bless because we love. True love isn't mere emotion or attraction; it is a fruit of the Spirit, produced by God, with tangible results.

“Peace to you, brothers, and love with faith from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love.” When I was stationed in Korea, long before email and Skype, I used the MARS, or Military Amateur Radio System, to call home. ...read more

Born Of The Spirit (Trinity Sunday) Series

This is the first Sunday after the Pentecost. Trinity Sunday is the beginning of the Year. So this sermon is a journey. It is also the church’s birth story and as some have said the mini Bible sermon.

Main text: Trinity Sunday is the first Sunday after Pentecost to honor the Holy Trinity—the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Although the word “trinity” does not appear in Scripture, it is taught in Matthew 28:18-20 and 2 Corinthians 13:14 (and many other biblical passages). The concept of the trinity ...read more
