    We are to lay aside anything in our life that hinders our course of running this race for our Lord, of living a life pleasing to Him. Knowing that He is all we need Who can fill every void in our life.

    Opening illustration: A Jewish man in Hungary went to his rabbi and complained, “Life is unbearable. There are nine of us living in one room. What can I do?” The rabbi answered, “Take your goat into the room with you.” The man was skeptical, but the rabbi insisted, “Do ...read more

    Inner Nature

    Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Oct 7, 2025

     | 92 views

    The inner man or inner nature has so much power to destroy people and take away the kingdom of God from them. It can cause one to fall on his or her way from this earth to heaven. All of you who have the opportunity to read this write-up should set aside time to fast and pray concerning this matter.

    God created us perfectly, in His own image. He created us to be godly, and 1 Tim 6:6 says godliness with contentment is great gain. God created us to be like Him, but the enemy came and messed us up. Jesus described Satan as a liar and chief of liars (a great deceiver), John 8:44 This murderer and ...read more

     | 3,158 views

    Finding your purpose, enjoying your relationship with God, and sharing his goodness with others is living the dream. Living one day like that is better than a thousand days away from God. It is a joy to serve and please God.

    Sermon: Finding A Goal Worth Pursuing Psalms 84:1 How lovely is Your dwelling place, O Lord of Hosts!2 My soul longs, yes, even faints for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my body cry out for the living God. 3 Yes, the sparrow has found a home and the swallow a nest for herself, where she ...read more

     | 6,238 views

    In a culture that wants to hear and tell lies and are obsessed with who has what and how much they have, this prayer is a breath of fresh air. Our culture is very self-centered but Agur's prayer is God-centered.

    Lessons From The Prayer of Agur Proverbs 30:7-9 Introduction: In recent years a lot of public attention has been focused on prayer. Our courts have banned prayer from public schools, public functions, and public display. And as we've seen in protest, regardless of opposition, it hasn't ...read more

    Psalm 16 - This is a specific song of David that is written - Hebrew word that is used to describe this is "miktam" -- Literally a literary or musical term, refers to its content - When we are discouraged we can rejoice in the Lord - When we are feeling depressed we can sing to the Lord - ...read more

    I looked topically at what being a stumbling-block is, and the implications. Didn’t answer a lot of questions, but it makes a listener think anyway.

    Jesus freely proclaimed his message of salvation to all. His grace is free, it is effectual in its operation, and its results are abiding, elevating, purifying, and saving power. By Faith we receive the grace of God, and our soul lives.

    Jesus delayed his coming to the feast of Tabernacle because his hour was not yet. Although his brothers attempted to push him forth, Jesus understood his assignment. Jesus arrived and stayed in the background till the fitting moment, and then he came boldly forward to deliver one of the freest and ...read more

    Movies + Pop Corn + Church = Reel Talk

    Reel Talk Pt. 5 - Hacksaw Ridge Luke 15 is unique. It is probably no more than a 20 or 30 minute slot of time in Jesus' life. However, it stands out against all other moments when Jesus speaks because the entire exchange is simply stories. Stories to respond to the religious folks and their anger ...read more

    A Quieted Soul

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 17, 2025
     | 41 views

    Psalm 131 invites restless hearts into humility and hope—trusting God’s presence over answers, like a weaned child content with mother.

    It’s easy to worry. Anxiety is normal. Fear is expected. There’s plenty to be anxious about. I once heard a guy on the radio say, “Anyone who doesn’t have high blood pressure these days just isn’t paying attention.” And maybe he’s right—because we live in a world wound tight with hurry and ...read more
