    Not Worth Comparing -Funeral Service- (For A Person Who Got Saved Before They Died)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 21, 2022
     | 1,937 views

    Today we come to this memorial service with sad hearts, grieving over the death of this loved one.

    We do not like to see our friends and loved ones suffer as he had to suffer in the last few years of his life. But sometimes this suffering is a blessing in disguise. It gives: • A person a chance to reflect on the way they live their life • A person a chance to repent of their sins and make ...read more

    Contention Intervention

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 24, 2022
     | 1,461 views

    The kind of conflict---contention that the Apostle Paul addressed in the early part of I Corinthians is very similar to that that existed in the split that resulted in the formation of the “Ant-peg Baptist Church”.

    I Corinthians 1:10. I appeal to you, brothers, 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 ...read more

    Perhaps we find more joy in pleasure, fun and entertainment than we do effort, work and sweat? Playing games offer little profit?

    PLAY VS WORK? TOOLS VS. TOYS? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com Colossians 3:23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Do you know what is called the oldest toy in the world?

    The Challenge To Care

    Contributed by John Dobbs on May 23, 2024
     | 643 views

    One way Paul is going to encourage this is by getting to the root of their greatest interest - and often ours - he wants them to join in concern for others by donating funds.

    The Challenge to Care 1 Corinthians 16:1-14 Introduction In the concluding chapters of his first letter to the Corinthians, Paul has called us to answer the challenge to Serve, to Love, to Believe, and now to Care. It’s easy to see how the Corinthian church could struggle with caring about ...read more

    True Success

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on May 27, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,899 views

    Many Christians understand success unbiblically. They have been deceived into chasing success according to the world's standards. They should know that the measure of success according to God is very different from the world's.

    Today, I will discuss success. I have been reluctant to discuss this topic because I do not want to be associated with the teaching of "Theology of Success" or "Prosperity Gospel," which is not based on the complete teachings of the Bible. But two weeks ago, I felt the Holy ...read more

     | 1,299 views

    Some in that crowd were having quarrels over who baptized them as if those that baptized them had differing ranks. They were choosing sides contrary to the Gospel which calls us to be united to be united through Christ (I Corinthians 1:12 -13).

    I Corinthians 1:10. I appeal to you, brothers, 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 ...read more

    It needs fierce self-control, patience, and intimate walk with God to abide in His time table!

    God’s time table! John 7:6”Then Jesus said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.” There is profound truth behind the Words of Jesus and a lot of connection with the society we live in today. Listen! It needs fierce self-control, patience, and ...read more

    Help in making your marriage a match made in Heaven instead of Hell.

    Gen 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. When God made woman “meet” or fit for the man, He meant the deal to be that Adam’s strengths were Eve’s weaknesses and Eve’s strengths were ...read more

    Household enemies are more dangerous because you are usually less cautious with them. You usually have no problem dealing with known enemies. But you lower your guards at home because you believe you are in the midst of people who love and care for you.

    Today, we will delve into the topic of household enemies and how to break their power over our lives. Household enemies can be more dangerous than known enemies because we often let our guard down around those we trust. These enemies can be found within our own families, such as a wicked spouse, a ...read more

    Spiritual Depression; Its Causes And Cure - Philippians 1:12-21 Series

    Contributed by Scott Turansky on Feb 11, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,569 views

    I think if we were to take the book of Philippians and we were to try to understand emotions, there would be a map that goes like this with these three particular kind of emotions. One is anger. The second is sadness. And the third is anxiety.

    The book of Philippians is a very emotionally transparent book. It's the most emotional book in the New Testament. That's because Paul is sharing his emotions with them, but he's also processing his emotions with them, and he's also encouraging them to process their emotions in a ...read more

    Salty things are spoken by Christ, to remind us of who we are and what we need.

    October 19, 2003 Mark 9:38-50 “Teacher,” said John, “we saw a man driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us.” “Do not stop him,” Jesus said. “No one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me, for whoever is not ...read more
