    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jul 23, 2024
     | 1,306 views

    As you consider the life and ministry of Jesus, what comes to mind? What was His purpose for coming to the earth? He came with purpose – a purpose ordained of God, the Father before the foundation of the world.

    The Gospel of the Kingdom Mark 1:14-15 “When you hear the bells ringing out at Christmas, think of the reason why Jesus was born. Dream not that He came to load your tables and fill your cups, but in your mirth look higher than all earth-born things. When you hear that in certain churches there ...read more

     | 1,080 views

    Paul expected all of his congregations to listen to their minds and order their hearts in the right way. He told the folks at Thessalonika that they had no need for anyone to write them about loving their neighbor.

    Saturday of the 21st Week in Course 2023 Ordinarily we tend to associate St. Paul’s teachings on chastity and lust with the letters to the Corinthians. But that’s shortsighted. Remember that even as far back as Plato and Aristotle, the virtuous life was associated with men and women who would ...read more

    The Christian faith often clashes with worldly values, causing conflict and tension. However, we must allow the Holy Spirit to guide us and fill our minds with the truth found in the Bible.

    Have you ever played Jenga? You know, that game where you stack wooden blocks and try to pull them out without making the tower fall? It's fun, right? But it's also a bit nerve-wracking.

    based on 1 rating
     | 629 views

    The secret place is not a mystical idea—it is the real, living presence of God that we can experience daily. It is where our spirits are nourished, our minds are renewed, and our hearts are transformed.

    When facing trials that leave us confused and defeated, God offers the divine wisdom needed to endure, but we must ask for it with a single-minded faith that trusts His goodness completely.

    Purifying Our Hearts

    Contributed by Jm Raja Lawrence on Nov 18, 2025
     | 89 views

    God calls us to complete heart transformation, not surface improvements. Through confession, refining trials, and single-minded devotion, we discover the path to genuine purity and intimate fellowship with Him.

    Purifying Our Hearts Psalm 51:10 The foundation for heart purity begins with David's urgent prayer in Psalm 51:10. After his devastating sins with Bathsheba, David recognized something profound: his heart needed complete reconstruction, not minor repairs. When he asks God to "create" ...read more

     | 3,747 views

    The gospel is veiled to sinners, the eye of our heart is closed, yet God has devised a free and accessible solution in Christ Jesus. By him, God shines his Word into the darkness of our hearts, so that we may see him truly, and walk in the light of life.

    based on 1 rating
     | 13,023 views

    Father’s who allow anger to take control of their minds will stop expressing love to those closest to them. Why, because the emotion of uncontrolled anger turns to rage and drives out the emotion and presence of love.

     | 6,666 views

    Christianity claims that salvation can only be found in Christ Jesus.This claim may sound extreme, radical, and narrow-minded. We must therefore be compelled to examine the truthfulness of this claim with honesty and without prejudice.

    Knowing Jesus Deeper INTRODUCTION: Christianity claims that salvation can only be found in Christ Jesus. The Apostle Peter declared in the hearing of the Jews saying, “And there is no salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we ...read more

    God has offered to us intense intimacy and amazing power through prayer. The key to our churches being kingdom minded and eternally effective is are we willing? Are you willing to invest in the most the chruch can do.

    Intro: Remember that the church is not built strong and healthy by accident. It is also no accident that there are so many churches that are not strong or healthy in the 21 century. I believe there is one major reason that the church in the west is so weak and unstable. It is a lack of prayer. ...read more
