The Wonderful Counselor Versus Secular Counselors

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Nov 29, 2023

Today, many counselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists can help with our relationship, financial, marital, health, emotional, or behavioral problems. But what they can do is limited. Jesus cannot only help us find solutions for our problems but also change our hearts and transform our lives!

Introduction: In 1879, Wilhelm Maximilian Wundt, a German physician and professor, founded the first formal laboratory for psychological research at the University of Leipzig, Germany. This research laboratory marked the beginning of psychology as an independent field of study. Wundt is known today ...read more

"divine Interventions In The Fifth Dimension."

Contributed by Dr. Jerry Hulse on Jun 18, 2023

God is an infinite being who cannot be measured. His boundless nature is the foundation of His attributes, and no aspect of who God is can be compared to anything else. "The Cutting Edge of Possibilities" is the final stage of training one needs to complete before entering another level.

Making Jesus Real

Contributed by Brian Williams on Sep 27, 2023

The Love of God was put on display for all the world to see. Those who believed became the personal recipients of that love. As His family we want continue to make the love of Jesus obvious to others, through our words and our actions, we cannot divorce one from the other.

We took this summer to discuss many different philosophical as well as biblical arguments that point to God’s existence. Yet amongst all the arguments, I believe one of the greatest testimonies for the existence of a personal God is His love (1 John 4:8). Love is at the core of the Christian faith ...read more

Supernatural Restoration

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Apr 26, 2025

Supernatural restoration is when God steps into your situation and reverses every loss, heals every hurt, and repays every injustice. It goes beyond human repair; it is divine re-creation. When God restores, He does it in such a way that what was lost cannot be compared to what is gained.

SUPERNATURAL RESTORATION By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Joel 2:25-26 "And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.

World-As-It-Is To World-As-It-Should-Be | Jesus The Only Hope | Dr. Madana Kumar, Phd Series

Contributed by Dr. Madana Kumar, Phd on Mar 12, 2023

The world-as-it-is, is a pretty messed up place. We cannot fix it by ourselves. Good news is that there is one person who can. Let us put our faith in Jesus Christ alone. Join Dr. Madana Kumar, PhD, as he expounds on this idea.

World-as-it-is to World-as-it-should-be We cannot escape bad news even if we want to, nowadays. Media channels and social media scream out bad news to us, unless we are on a media fast.

Jesus Returns Home One Last Time Series

Contributed by Warren Lamb on Jul 15, 2007

They say, “You can never go back.” “They” are right for the most part – and there really is no need to, except to allow where and who we have been to give us a proper perspective on who we have become. I cannot help but wonder how much of that Jesus felt

Philip Yancey, in his book, The Jesus I Never Knew, gives this illustration: "George Buttrick, former chaplain at Harvard, recalls that students would come into his office, plop down on a chair and declare, ’I don’t believe in God.’ Buttrick would give this disarming reply: ’Sit down and tell me ...read more

"Stuff!"

Contributed by J. Curtis Goforth, O.s.l. on Oct 16, 2006

Mark’s gospel tells the story of a man who cannot follow after Jesus because of his "many possessions." Although this man is typically known as rich, Mark tells us he just has a lot of stuff--much like us! Jesus re-defines riches here.

“That’s Where I Keep All My Stuff” Sermon on Mark 10:17-31 Pentecost +19-B October 15, 2006 Rev. J. Curtis Goforth, O.S.L.

Overflowing With Hope

Contributed by Mark Opperman on May 6, 2015

Trust is something that develops and grows through time and faithfulness. But without trust (faith) we cannot please God. When we read in God’s word that He has never failed anyone who put their trust in Him, that should do something for our trust level.

Overflowing with Hope Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. 1. God wants to fill you with joy and peace 2. Your trust in Him will help facilitate that transaction 3. God wants you ...read more

What Now? John 14:1-3NASB Here’s the greatest news ever, to every believer, Jesus settled heaven through His life, death, burial and resurrection. He doesn’t mix words about eternity. He commands just one thing- believe. However on this earth, there’s even more ...read more

How Rooted Are You In God's Word? Series

Contributed by Alis Cerrahyan on Aug 13, 2019

Unfortunate circumstances cannot and should not define who we are. It's what we choose to do with them that determines the outcome. We either believe in God wholeheartedly or we don't. Even a tiny doubt can taint our faith in his supremacy.

It would be fair to say that the following statement is not even believable: "I've never encountered any hardships; nor have I known anyone with evil intentions!" If we are a part of this world, whether a child, an adolescent, or an adult; we have tasted dysfunctions somewhere along ...read more

A Father’s Legacy

Contributed by John White on Aug 26, 2019

Why Father’s Day? We all could agree that Mother’s Day is a good idea. Mothers are renown for their love and their vital role in shaping a child’s life from the cradle to the grave cannot be debated or denied. But why Father’s Day? How did it come into existence?
