Faithful?

We cannot be faithful to the world and faithful to God at the same time. We must learn to put God first and everything else behind God.

Free Will

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Oct 1, 2023

Are we like clay in the hands of the master potter? Does that mean that we have no choice in the matter? Let's find the truth about the master potter and the clay in Jeremiah 18.

Potter Are we like clay in the hands of the master potter? Does that mean we don’t have free will or can the clay be stubborn and unworkable?

Joy To The World

Contributed by Marc Phillips on Dec 18, 2015

We should carry our Joy in everything we do. Our joy is a gift of the Holy Spirit and when we are less than joyful we are squashing that spirit. Joy to the World is not just for Christmas, but for all year long!

Scripture is shared from the NASB... We just sang Joy to the World as a praise song, and I think we did a pretty good job of it. I’d like to try this exercise together if you would indulge me for a moment. Let’s sing that first verse again, only let’s do it with a scowl or a ...read more

Loving Others

Contributed by Annie Springate on May 26, 2016

The commandment Jesus left us with is to love God and love others. In general we find it much easier to love God than we do loving others. Why is that? We have an enemy and when we realize his tactics we are better placed to fulfill Jesus' command.

Loving Others • The Word of God is the most powerful thing that exists in the earth • Consistent attention and with full attention • It is our education If you want to be a doctor you need to be educated. If you want to be a carpenter you need to be educated, if you want to be a ...read more

Why God Chooses Man?

Contributed by Patrick Usifo on Sep 7, 2017

No man has the capacity to choose God. And none can explain why God makes choices in the first place. It follows that He must choose those that will show His praise and glory.

Chosen of God Text: Ephesian 1:1-4 Who can explain Christianity? Any man that claims to have the answer is grossly mistaken. Christianity that can be explained is not real but lacking the substance of truth. Christianity has a depth and height that no man can fathom. Moreover, today’s sermon is ...read more

Some people go through life like Calvin, the obnoxious little seven-year-old in the comic strip, Calvin and Hobbes. Now, Calvin has a sense of humor, but it’s all cynical and gruesome.

Hell - Who Really Chooses?

Contributed by David Leach on Apr 3, 2015

Another great myth: A God of love won’t send me to Hell (regardless of whether I choose to fully devote my life to Him while I’m here on earth)
