    Biblical Meditation: Thinking Through It Series

     | 4,999 views

    We live in a very fast-paced society and culture. It seems there is always somewhere to go and something to do. We don’t take time to meditate and ponder on life, the true meaning of life, the direction of our life, God, heaven, and the Bible.

    Biblical Meditation: Thinking Through It 1 Timothy 4:15 www.crbible.com/sermons Introduction: 1. We live in a very fast-paced society and culture.

    Who Are You Imitating?

     | 4,521 views

    Here is the deal, don’t just take matters on the superficial surface, judge words, prophecies with scripture. You know why, Isaiah says“ “The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever

    And you should imitate me, just as I imitate Christ.” 1 Cor 11:1 ave you heard the idiomatic expression “imitation is a disease”? It is one of the fallacies shovelled down our throat. I am sure you have also heard , “Orunmila” only heaven knows those that will be saved. It is another fallacy. Here ...read more

    The Blessings Of Hardships

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Aug 26, 2019
     | 5,908 views

    Jesus said he came to, "send fire on the earth." This sermon takes a unique approach on this idea and uses the fire metaphor as a purging of the things inside us that hinder us from becoming who we can be through God.

    The Blessing of Hardships Since this Gospel reading is intense, I thought I’d begin by admitting something kind of funny about it. When I read it this week, I pictured Jesus at a Charlie Daniels concert singing, “Fire on the mountain run boys run.” It also made me wonder, “… how am I supposed ...read more
