    Authority Of Jesus Christ Series

    Contributed by Jaeyoun Chang on Jan 29, 2026
     | 138 views

    Jesus went to Capernaum. It may have been because God's love for sinners who did not know or understand the Word of God sent Jesus to this earth, and because of Jesus' character of pitying sinners made him think that he should somehow preach the gospel of life to them.

    Introduction In Nazareth of Galilee, where he grew up, Jesus read the prophecy of the prophet Isaiah in the synagogue on the Sabbath and said that it had come true. Jesus declared that he was the anointed Messiah who would preach the gospel to the poor, free the captives of sin, and open their ...read more

    Have We Lost Our Churches To Worldliness? Series

    Contributed by Eric Agyei Febiri on May 18, 2023
     | 1,893 views

    Churches are expected to guide and form the conscience of society and people by pointing out the truth without fear or favour. Some of our churches today however, have lost their moral authority to the world because of power, fame, and money by their leaders.

    Morality is now measured by the votes of the Senate and the Parliament, and not the individual conscience. Civil authorities and those in power now vote to decide what is sin and what is not sin, what is lawful and what is unlawful. And this has now crept into our Churches, but Church leaders ...read more
