    Gentleness

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Oct 3, 2013
     | 4,606 views

    I must say this, today there is a sadistic and egoistic pleasure in being snobby, overbearing, rude and curt? We have just forgotten to be kind, gentle and pleasant!

    Gentleness… Acts 11:2’And when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision contended with him…’ It is sad that many are skeptical about fasting! Let us not do fasting as a ritual or a religious custom like many do these days without any change in them. Are you ...read more

    Should Protestants Be Allowed To Have An Opinion Regarding The New Pope?

    It has been suggested that it is a tragedy for Evangelicals to pray and fast regarding the new pope as called for by Rick Warren. While it might not be an issue worthy of fasting over as it doesn't look like most of the top contenders to the papal throne have themselves missed too many meals and ...read more

    The Heart Of A Servant

    Contributed by Christian Jones on Jun 9, 2023

     | 3,155 views

    Good morning church! I want to explore the valuable lessons on having a servant's heart that we can learn from 1 Timothy 6:11-12. As we look into this passage, let us be inspired by the example of the apostle Paul and reflect on how we can cultivate the heart of a true servant in our own lives.

    Point 1: Pursue Righteousness (1 Timothy 6:11a) A servant's heart is rooted in a deep desire to pursue righteousness. It involves a deliberate choice to walk in obedience to God's commands and live a life that aligns with His will. Proverbs 21:21 - "He that followeth after ...read more

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Nov 3, 2022
     | 959 views

    Believers are urged not to sin, but if they do, they have an advocate with God the Father. Believers are told to have love for one another, thereby showing that they are followers of Christ.

    In verses 1-2: John is at this point an extremely elderly person. He has spent practically each of his years in the service of the Lord, and a considerable amount of his readers were for sure his spiritual youngsters. John utilizes the phrase “little children” in a warm, paternal way. He is not ...read more

    The air of Egypt, and, even more, that of the desert, was favorable to longevity. The Egyptian monuments show many cases of officials actively employed after they were a hundred years old.

    THEIR AGE. EXODUS 7:7 7. Moses was eighty years old and Aaron eighty-three when they spoke to Pharaoh. Moses was four score years old (80).—Moses was fourscore years old—This advanced age was a pledge that they had not been readily betrayed into a rash or hazardous enterprise and that under its ...read more

    It’s powered by the love flowing from Christ’s wounded side on the Cross; it’s the Power-source of deliverance and healing ministry.

    “He commands even the unclean spirits and they obey him.” Jesus spoke in the imperative when he said, “Quiet! Come out of him!” 1.Authority is internal—in the Greek it means "out of (one's) essence"—essential. Like Jesus, whatever we do should be a demonstration, not of external ...read more

    What is in store for us during the 1,000 year reign?

    Men down through the ages have dreamed and planned for a golden age of perfect life. I contend that the scriptures have much to say about this golden age. There can be no doubt, but that Jesus is to come out victorious over Satan and sin. This age when “righteousness shall cover the earth as the ...read more

    I think it may be true: More people believe in Murphy than believe in a loving God seen in Jesus Christ.

    The Name Above All Names At Which We Bend Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 9, 2025
     | 324 views

    The Son of God was divine already, but He thought it unfair to glom onto that identity. He became the face of the divine compassion and enduring love, God’s hesed, by emptying Himself of all His divine glory, all His divine dignity.

    Palm/Passion Sunday The critical reading we are given from Scripture today is not one of the two Gospels, not the triumphant Palm Sunday story of Christ’s entry to Jerusalem and not the story of the Last Supper, Passion and death of Our Lord. No, the reading that is crucial to an understanding of ...read more
