    What God Has Made Clean Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,753 views

    God told Peter in Acts 10 - "What God has made clean you must not call common." What would that have meant to the Ephesians, and what can it mean to us?

    In Acts 10, we’re told the story of the first Gentiles who became Christians. God sent Peter to do preach to them and baptize them… but because Peter wouldn’t have done that on his own. God gave Him this instruction: “What God has made clean, do not call common." Acts 10:15 About 100 years ...read more

    Grace From Galatians (7 0f 19)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022
     | 1,327 views

    The false religions of the world have one thing in common. They all desire to put people under bondage. Why do they want to put people under bondage? This is their way of keeping their members under their control.

    For example to understand that, we have to consider a dictator like Saddam Hussein. Why did he use intimidation, torture and death as a means to control the people of Iraq? The people in Iraq were afraid to say anything bad about him for fear that he would have them killed. Illus: Let me give you ...read more

    Overcoming Feelings Of Insecurity Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Apr 11, 2025
     | 336 views

    Feelings of insecurity are common but not insurmountable. By understanding our identity in Christ, embracing His love, trusting in His promises, renewing our minds with His Word, and walking by faith, we can overcome insecurity.

    OVERCOMING FEELINGS OF INSECURITY By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 2 Corinthians 12:9 "But He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest ...read more

    One Spirit, One Body, Many Gifts

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Sep 21, 2025
     | 134 views

    Even though there are many gifts, there is still only one Spirit, one body and one Lord. There is only one purpose for all these gifts that the believers have. They are diverse, but their goal is singular – the common good of the church.

    Alba 9-21-2025 ONE SPIRIT, ONE BODY, MANY GIFTS I Corinthians 12:1-31 Bonnie Brechill tells a story about her five year old daughter Crystal, who recently met an Amish girl her age. Within minutes they were off, hand-in-hand, to play. “I caught glimpses of them chattering and giggling,” Bonnie ...read more

    Unity Is Oneness, Not Sameness

    based on 61 ratings
     | 14,491 views

    Jesus prays for unity in the Church that is to come. Yet, His prayer indicates He knows we will struggle. As long as we keep our focus on God we will overcome our denominational differences and find our oneness in Christ.

    Ruth Bell once said, “If two people agree on everything, one of them is unnecessary” She went on to say, “If two people agree on everything, they double their chances of being wrong.” Now, Ruth Bell was not referring to the diversity of thought in the Christian church, she was instead talking ...read more

    Sermon for Super Bowl Sunday. Baptism and Communion are two things Christ meant to unite us. When people are able to look beyond their differences and come together to celebrate these holy sacraments then it is the greatest "Touchdown" in history.

    Making a Touchdown “I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. 11 My brothers, some from Chloe's household have ...read more

    Prejudice is a social evil present in every culture of our fallen world. It is holding negative attitudes towards others based on generalizations and stereotypes, resulting in discrimination. It is forming conclusions without consulting the facts.

    The Apostle Paul affirms the unity and diversity of all nations in Acts 17. He was addressing Greeks who regarded themselves as superior race. Race matters only to racists; the rest of us care about character. It is distressing how people have twisted this passage to justify segregation. In ...read more

    Most Americans cannot fathom a group of unrelated people of different age groups, classes, and cultures with differing talents and interests who have been glued together by a common faith in Jesus Christ. But this kind of bond -- the kind God wants a chu

    The character of Paul is revealed as his stands trial before the high priest who reveals he already has deemed Paul guilty.

    If you ever testify in court, you might wish you could have been as sharp as this policeman. He was being cross-examined by a defense attorney during a felony trial. The lawyer was trying to undermine the policeman’s credibility.... Q: "Officer -- did you see my client fleeing the scene?" A: ...read more

    Flying United Series

     | 5,541 views

    I think we all realize that we are “supposed” to love another, and that we “should” be united, but what we are “supposed” to do or “should” do are not the same things as what we actually do.

    Introduction: Today we are beginning a series of messages on the importance of love and unity in the Church. The catch phrase which we put out on the marquee this week is: We Fly United and We Love It! We are going to use similar themes each week to challenge us as a church to examine our ...read more
