    Come Together, Right Now

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 5, 2025
     | 106 views

    Christ unites a divided people into one redeemed family, tearing down walls of pride and fear until His peace fills every heart.

    INTRODUCTION The Beatles once sang, “Come together, right now…” It was a cry for unity in a world already spinning apart—an anthem of longing to belong, to find common ground again.

     | 164 views

    In Colossians 3, after describing the kinds of "clothing" that needed to be put off, Paul then described the "clothing" to put on. There are eight items in all, but in many respects they are descriptions of the final characteristic, love.

    A. Have you ever noticed how important clothing is in life? 1. Sometimes the clothing we wear reveals the occupation we have. a. Medical persons wear certain clothing and so do those in the military and law enforcement. b. Other job related clothing is seen in construction, firefighting, and ...read more

    Attitude Of Gratitude

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Nov 21, 2025
     | 444 views

    Paul is urging believers to live out their new identity in Christ by cultivating hearts overflowing with thankfulness. Why? Because gratitude is a response to God’s grace. It reminds us of His faithfulness, aligns our hearts with His will, and demonstrates that we trust in His sovereign goodness.
