    A miraculous catch of fish, and the commencement of the Church's ministry.

    A SINNER SAVED. Luke 5:1-11. I can remember reading a quaint old book by a Puritan whose only acknowledged qualification for conducting a Christian ministry was, ‘Sinner Saved’. Without that we are either honestly mistaken, or really just charlatans and frauds! This begs the question, ‘What ...read more

    Without Strength Before The Pursuer

    Contributed by Daniel Olukoya on Jan 3, 2012

     | 55,538 views

    What a tragic lamentation. The runner is in big trouble because he is being pursued but has no strength. Somebody that is pursued cannot relax. If he has no strength then he is already a prey, a casualty.

    Lamentation 1:6 says, “And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed: her princes are become like harts that find no pasture, and they are gone without strength before the pursuer.” What a tragic lamentation. The runner is in big trouble because he is being pursued but has no strength. ...read more

    the Jews returned to their homeland in three waves and began to rebuild their city. but why rebuild the altar before the temple, or the city walls? because there focus was on putting God first!

    I’m going to spend a bit of time talking about some of Ezra chapter 3. About 70 years before the events in this chapter, Judah was invaded by the Babylonian Empire and the people exiled. God had let this happen because they had turned their backs on him. Since then the Babylonian Empire had ...read more

    Satan’s Limitations: Satan Is Not Omnipresent Series

    Job 1-2 reveals Satan’s limitations. Satan is not God’s equal opposite. Satan isn’t omnipresent (everywhere), omnipotent (all-powerful) or omniscient (all-knowing). This session’s focus - Satan isn’t God’s Equal, Satan isn’t Omnipresent.

    **************** Job 1-2 gives us some remarkable information about Satan. Job reminds me of Revelation in that the scenes go back and forth between spiritual and physical. In both books of the Bible, we see scenes in the spiritual realm in Heaven and the resulting physical ramifications on ...read more
