    How To Be Great In Jesus’ Kingdom Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 24, 2020
     | 2,803 views

    Jesus calls us to be servant rather than elevating themselves. What exactly should we do if we do want to be great?

    IS IT WRONG TO WANT TO BE "GREAT"? Jesus doesn’t say “don’t be great” but instead tells them how to be great. - Luke 22:24-27. - Matthew 5:19; Matthew 20:26; Mark 10:43. - It could have been when the disciples argued over being great that Jesus replied, “No. You will never be great. ...read more

    The Inclusiveness Of The Church Age

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 20, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,501 views

    ALL who are in Christ Jesus are accepted by God. We have no right to refuse any whom God has received.

    THE INCLUSIVENESS OF THE CHURCH AGE. Isaiah 56:1, Isaiah 56:6-8. The idea here seems to be that the community of God’s people should “preserve justice and do righteousness” (Isaiah 56:1). The reason is not far to seek: “for My salvation is near to come, and My righteousness to be revealed”. ...read more

    For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly. Mark 6:20.

    THE MURDER OF JOHN THE BAPTIST. Matthew 14:1-12. This passage begins with Jesus, and ends with Jesus. It was inevitable that Herod Antipas should have “heard of the fame of Jesus” (Matthew 14:1).

    Manipulation

    Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on May 3, 2020
     | 11,202 views

    Manipulation is a demonic spirit that one must be delivered from, so that one would not manipulate others and one would not be manipulated.

    What is manipulation? In my own understanding, manipulation is: • An act of tactically influencing another person mind into thinking or doing what they would not have otherwise thought or done. • A demonic and afflicting spirit, because of the characters it exhibits.

    Should we not resist to flaunt wealth or even seek it as a pastor when the world and even poor Christians think we lack integrity loving mammon rather than God?

    "Piety and prosperity seldom go hand in hand..." "We live in a day when the temptation to the indulgence of the flesh is very great. Luxuries are common. Piety and prosperity seldom go hand in hand, and in many a case the prosperity that piety and power have brought has been the ruin ...read more

    It's shocking to many that God sometimes is the cause of hardship in our lives. When that happens, what is He hoping to accomplish?

    “HE SAID WHAT?!”: Sometimes hardship is from God. - Amos 4:6-12. - This passage might have been shocking to you. “What do you mean God did all these things?” Today we sometimes think of Him exclusively as a kindly grandfather who would never say a cross word to anyone. That, however, is not ...read more
