    Contributed by Luther Sexton on Mar 21, 2019
     | 5,647 views

    Diotrephes was a trouble maker trying to run the church. Paul tells Gaius he will deal with him when he comes. Peace is possible in spite of those who love to be first.

    THE DISEASE OF DIOTREPHES SCRIPTURE: KJV III John 1:9 “I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.

    One of the most beautiful pictures of grace and repentance toward God is found in Jonah chapter three. Jonah preached a message of impending judgment; the people repented, and God extended mercy and grace.

    Sovereign Grace in Nineveh (Part 2) Jonah 3: 1-10 Following his harrowing ordeal within the belly of the great fish, Jonah experienced the unrivaled grace of God.

     | 11,144 views

    We see God reaching out to a foreigner and leading him to faith in Himself. This is the goodness and grace of God. It cannot be earned or be bought.

    God’s grace goes international. Let’s read 2 Kings 5:1-19. God remembers His own and cares for His own, but His own does not mean only the people of Israel. • It refers ultimately to everyone who is willing to acknowledge God, believe and worship Him, as the one and only true God. • So God’s ...read more

    The Transforming Power Of The Holy Spirit

    Contributed by Patrick Usifo on Mar 19, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 17,605 views

    How God changes a coward to a conqueror, a fearful man into a rock in His kingdom. Transformation is the difference between our faith and most religions of the world. As a continuous process, perfected on the day of the Lord.

    More often in the church we hear testimonies of men and women saved by grace. In various ways we all joyfully testified of what God has done for us. On the other hand to speak of what God is doing in our life at any stage is hard to tell. Therefore the single, most important discerning ...read more

    When Jesus told His disciples one of them would betray Him,

    Without a doubt, the best known representation of the Last Supper is Leonardo da Vinci’s painting: “The Last Supper.” It represents the exact moment that Jesus said, “One of you will betray me.” It shows the effect of that word, “betray” upon the twelve men most closely associated with Jesus during ...read more

     | 13,970 views

    While no serious Christian would overtly condone idolatry, we do something just as bad by allowing stubbornness to rule our hearts or the hearts of others.

    Intro: Would you condone idolatry? Have you ever known anyone to casually admit to idolatry? What if you were talking to a friend who is a Christian one day about character flaws and he said something like, “Well, I know I’ve got a problem with idolatry” or “I’ve ...read more

    In the introduction to the letter to Titus Paul states his reason for living. Paul lived for the faith of believers and to give them the knowledge of eternal truth. The purpose of our life also needs to be defined if we desire to be focused

    Prayer is not overcoming God's reluctance but laying hold of His willingness. Prayer is a dialogue. Dare to ask God for make things happen.

    Have you heard of the phrase: “One person can ONLY do so much”? • This is only true without God. With God, we have to take the word ‘ONLY’ away. “One person can do so much!” • With God’s help, one person can make a lot of difference. I came ...read more
