    Truth divides from error not lives in peaceful coexistence.

    Why Are We Divided? I do not know if there has ever been a time since the 1st Century when there has been so much talk about unifying the Church.

    Paul helps us understand false repentance.

    Last time, we defined repentance as a change of mind that results in a change of heart that results in a change of action. That is why real repentance is all about turning my life around.

    A careful study of Mark chapter Three

    3:7-9 Once again the crowds became a problem to Christ. Some came to see the miracles rather than to hear the word. Some came because of their need for healing. Some came just to see what all the hubbub was about. In the 1960’s a campy television of Batman came along. In a ...read more

    Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Dec 29, 2025
     | 368 views

    We spend too much time praying for doors to open and not enough time walking toward them. This sermon provides three physical actions to take during the New Year crossover to ensure you don't just "watch" the year happen, but you "occupy" the promises God has for you.

    Most people approach the New Year like a spectator at a swimming pool they stand on the edge, shivering, dipping a toe in to see if the "water" of the coming year is warm enough to jump. They wait for a sign, a feeling, or a "word" before they make a move. But as we stand at the ...read more

    You ever feel like just when things are going well that the Government comes along and wants everything you have?

    The first thing Jesus did after His triumphal entry into Jerusalem was to clean house. He cleanses the Temple of it’s sinfulness. What can this teach us about the need for purity and holiness in our churches and our personal lives?

I once read one of his sermons and found the following description of the scene we just read about in Matthew: “It is early morning, but already the temple court is a bedlam of activity and noise. ...read more

    We can become effective witnesses if we acknowledge the need of the cross, experience the cleansing of the cross, and examine the way the cross works.

    I know that most of you are Christians. But what I do not know is how many of you are effective Christians. How many of you can use your faith in an effective way?
