    No Room For Hypocrisy

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 13, 2025
     | 87 views

    At the Last Judgement, all of us will need to admit to our shortcomings. No whispered secrets, no dark meetings.

    Friday of the 28th Week Integral 2025 One thing we can say about the Gospel writers’ style: they were working on expensive media like parchment or papyrus, so they did not waste words. Today Luke gives us what looks like a throw-away line at first: “So many people were crowding together that they ...read more

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Oct 13, 2025
     | 372 views

    God has the power to alter situations, command nature, and realign spiritual forces to work in favour of His people. When He shifts the heavens, everything in creation responds to bring His promises to pass in your life.

    THE GOD WHO SHIFTS THE HEAVENS IN YOUR FAVOUR By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Haggai 2:6-9 Key Verse: “For thus saith the Lord of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land.” — Haggai 2:6 (KJV) Supporting Texts: Psalm ...read more

    If you want to get out of the mess you’re in, take responsibility for your own actions, and with God’s help turn from your sin.

    A CEO has taken on a new job, and the outgoing CEO says to him, “Sometimes you'll make wrong choices. You will. You'll mess up. When that happens, I have prepared three envelopes for you. I left them in the top drawer of the desk. The first time it happens, open #1. The second time you mess ...read more

    Border Crossing

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Feb 1, 2026
     | 52 views

    In the Israelites' crossing through the Jordan and into the land of promise there are details which transfer quite remarkably clearly into instructions for our own entry into the land - the state of being - that God has promised to us in Christ Jesus.

    What kind of images do the words “Promised Land” mean to you? I didn’t see the TV show by that name very often, but it seemed to me, with my limited exposure, that this was a traveling family, always ready to pick up and move somewhere new, always optimistic about what was around the next corner, ...read more

    In this passage, the apostle gives four characteristics of believers who live in “1 Spirit” of Christ in their: 1) Status in Christ (Philippians 1:27a), 2) Standing firm in Him (Philippians 1:27b); 3) Sharing with one another because of Him (Philippians

    It sounds like a cliché, but it’s true that one person really can change the world. In fact, that’s exactly what God wants to do through you … change your world. Like Noah, God has a very specific call on your life that if heeded, can change your world

     | 3,868 views

    When we become a Christian, there is a regime change in our lives, but there is still a lot of mopping up to do.

    Hebrews 10:14 January 25, 2004 If Christ Has Me Covered, Why Do I Need to Confess & Repent? Last week I started a series in The Purpose Driven Life. And it seems that immediately we are going to take a break. Last week left some questions unanswered, and I felt the need to deal with ...read more

    Old Gods, New Names: The Spirits Behind Post-Modern Idolatry

    Contributed by Antonio Manaytay on Oct 25, 2025

     | 216 views

    Idolatry is not a relic of the ancient world. It is the oldest sin in human history — and the most enduring. The names have changed, but the spirits behind them remain.

    Introduction: The Return of Old Spirits Brothers and sisters, Idolatry is not a relic of the ancient world. It is the oldest sin in human history — and the most enduring.

    Is There Evidence That Jesus Christ Is Alive After Death? An Examination Of The Facts

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 10, 2023
     | 1,391 views

    For me, it’s obvious that Jesus Christ is alive right now. Because he changed my life forever. He set me free from sins and addictions. He changed my family. My grandpa. My mom. He’s still changing lives everyday in this very city, and across the face of the Earth.

    If Jesus is dead then I’m a fraud. If Jesus is dead right now, then we’re all a joke. The atheists would be right. The world would be right. All the good in the world wouldn’t really be good, all the bad wouldn’t really be bad, all our work would be for nothing, and our lives would be truly ...read more

    As we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ we celebrate his enlightening presence among us; we celebrate the coming of the one who brought the whole creation into being; we celebrate our new found status as children of God, we celebrate the fact that God h

    Did you notice the common theme that comes through in the two Bible Readings we just heard? Not just the theme that God has sent his Son in the form of this child Jesus.

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,000 views

    God calls us to surrender four central things in our life because of who He is. We must be willing to give up our self, our security, our success, and our status in order to fully submit and follow Him. So, which are you willing to commit to Him?

    Are you nailed to the cross? Mark 8:34-8:38 - Our lives ought to be a living worship of Jesus Christ’s example -- Honestly, I am more and more convinced that we (all) are just not there yet - Jesus warned that not all that called upon Him will enter into the Kingdom -- If you are ...read more

    According to the New Testament, there’s a difference between repentance and remorse.Part of the problem may be our mistake in thinking that sorrow and confession are enough to produce change. Another part is the misunderstanding of the process of change-

    Repentance Many changes come naturally as we mature. Sometimes, though, negative habits form deep ruts, and it seems we can’t change, no matter how much we want to. Friends urge us to alter our course and warn us of dangers ahead if we don’t. We read in Scripture about God’s path of ...read more
