     | 5,189 views

    Resolving conflict, not knowing who to believe, living knowing people are bitter toward you – these are all a normal part of the Christian life; it isn't all pretty.

    Facing the Realities of Conflict and Getting Along (Proverbs 18:17-19) 1. 2 Jews, 2 Catholics, and 2 Baptists were stranded on an island. 2. Sometimes people ask, "Why can't we all get along?" The answer is simple: it is not natural for people to get along with everyone. We are all kings and ...read more

    Five reasons why God wants our church to welcome all kinds of people who share a common faith in Christ with us.

    (Note: This sermon was introduced with a powerpoint presentation set to the song "All Kinds of People" written by Sheryl Crow, Kevin Gilbert and Erick Pressley and performed by Susan Ashton from the "A Distant Call" CD). Why is it that the Christian community is divided over many of the very same ...read more

    How to lighten our load of four burdens that can crush us in the spiritual life.

    For many people today the spiritual journey is filled with crushing burdens. I think of the character Rodrigo from the 1986 academy award winning movie The Mission. Rodrigo, played by Robert DeNiro, portrays a slave trader who kills his brother in a fit of rage. He’s filled with such terrible ...read more

    If you love Christ, then show your love by your service in his church. If you’re devoted to the Good Shepherd, be devoted to his flock.

    It is our joy and privilege to serve in the church of our Lord Christ. Some of us are office bearers, and we are allowed to serve in this capacity. Many of us are not office bearers and we have the opportunity to serve the church in numerous other ways. It’s always a privilege to serve, but the ...read more

    Forgiveness!

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Apr 13, 2014
     | 6,376 views

    Let me stress a point here, when we fail to forgive, we are actually torturing ourselves; because bitterness causes depression, inability to sleep, tension and much more.

    THE FIRST WORD OF JESUS ON THE CROSS! Luke 23:34-Jesus said: "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do." (Memorize) Day 34- Mathew 5:44 “But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.”(Memorize) These are the most awesome words uttered ...read more

    Unmasking Satan’s Strategies: Discernment Vs. Suspicion (Part 5)

    Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Apr 4, 2023
     | 1,089 views

    One of the major rules of engagement in this battle is ‘walking in love.” Once you drift into revenge, bitterness, unforgiveness, grudge, and malice, you have given Satan the advantage over you.

    Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the Cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:2) The essence of the concept of spiritual warfare is not to go on a demon/devil hunting ...read more

    This first person narrative makes Zacchaeus out to be a bitter little man who finds himself all alone and his life is forever changed by the kindness and forgiveness offered by Jesus

    On the Road with Jesus: Zacchaeus Luke 19:1-10 March 31, 2019 Jesus is on his way to Jerusalem. It all started when he raised Lazarus from the dead.

    based on 1 rating
     | 529 views

    When fear grips our heart and in those times when we feel all alone, deserted and feel that there is no one to help us or stand by us, let’s remember that God sees and He is by our side. The life of Hagar gives us a glimpse of God’s presence in the midst of life’s hardest moments.

    We read in Genesis 21:17, “God heard the boy crying, and from heaven the angel of God spoke to Hagar, "What are you troubled about, Hagar? Don't be afraid. God has heard the boy crying.”(GNB) Hagar and her son wandered through the wilderness, and when the little water she carried got ...read more

     | 5,208 views

    Trying to receive the blessings of God while we harbor a Root of Bitterness is like trying to drink after eating lemons. The flow is restricted because we are all drawn up inside.

    Sucking Blessings Through a Straw #13 in the Book of James Series By Pastor Jim May James has just completed dealing with the power of the tongue to destroy and to bless. Now we will see why the tongue is often put to such terrible use when it is used to destroy a life or a reputation. Most of ...read more

    Every struggle in your life was tailor made to fit you and shape your life. Every struggle in your life God uses to make you better, not to make you bitter.

    Intro: As Christians we must clearly understand that the happenings in our lives were tailored just for us. Your difficulties are not to make you bitter but to make you better.
