    To establish that God is always searching for men through us to be saved and accomplish his divine will, this lesson presents a clear example of the New Testament's "pattern of conversion," replicated throughout the Book of Acts.

    What Is Prayer?

    Contributed by James Linders on Feb 2, 2016
     | 5,797 views

    Prayer is a conversation with God in His physical absence. We should ALWAYS TRUST God with our lives. The outcome of our prayer should NOT be based on our expectations and needs but on GOD'S will, immaterial of whether it is what we want.

    James 5:17-18 (ESV) "Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. Then he prayed again, and heaven gave rain, and the earth bore its fruit." To answer the question “What IS ...read more

    Give Your Marriage A Tune-Up!

    Contributed by Howard Strickland on Oct 3, 2016
     | 4,207 views

    The secret to closeness in marriage is not sparkling conversation, or shared interest or incredible sex. As good as those are, the secret is practicing plain old-fashioned thoughtfulness and kindness. The stuff we learn when we are young and forget when w

    Give Your Marriage A Tune-Up! Ephesians 4: 29-32NKJB During the rehearsal for her wedding a nervous bride was having a difficult time remembering all the details.

    Why Would A Free Man Go Back Into Bondage?

    Jesus never traveled far from the Galilee. However, on the occasion that we are going to look at today, He had come to a city called Sychar, He was there to meet with a woman, who had a bad reputation, and to have a conversation with her.

    Living Water John 4:5-42 Jesus was always on the move, but He never traveled far from the Galilee, where He lived.

     | 6,021 views

    There are many answers given in the religious world to the question, "What must I do to be saved?". Which answer is correct? Let's examine the first conversion account in Acts to find out what the Holy Spirit's answer is to this important question.

    What a great day for the kingdom of God it must have been when that first sermon was preached by Peter! The door into the kingdom of heaven was opened to the world. That first sermon led to the salvation of about 3000 souls. Let’s put ourselves into the shoes of the people hearing this first ...read more

    Prayer Postures Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Feb 19, 2025
     | 658 views

    Prayer is an intimate conversation between the believer and God. It is not only about the words spoken but also the posture of our hearts and bodies. Throughout Scripture, different physical postures in prayer are shown, each reflecting an attitude of reverence, humility, and faith.

    PRAYER POSTURES By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Timothy 2:8 "I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer, without anger or disputing." Supporting Texts: Psalm 95:6, Matthew 26:39, 2 Chronicles 6:13, Mark 11:25 INTRODUCTION: Prayer is an intimate conversation between the ...read more

    John 4:24 is part of Jesus' conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well, where He reveals what true worship entails. Let us explore four key points which affect our daily lives.

    Worship in Spirit and Truth John 4:24 Introduction Today, we delve into the profound truth found in John 4:24 (NLT): "For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth." This verse is part of Jesus' conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well, ...read more

    Come To The Table

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 5, 2022
     | 4,985 views

    The table is more than just a place to have a meal. Other things happen at the kitchen or dining room table. Conversations take place at the table; people play games and do projects at the table. Special things happen at the table.

    COME TO THE TABLE We just had Thanksgiving where we got together with family and friends and gathered around the table. We like to hear that call, "dinner's ready, everyone come to the table". But that's not just a call to come and eat. The table is more than just a place to have ...read more

    Layers Of An Onion

    Contributed by Jerry Smith on Jun 28, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,465 views

    I was originally drawn to this passage because of this conversation between Jesus and Peter. I wanted to understand the deeper meaning of what was being said here. I have learned that and much more. I found four layers to the onion.

    Have any of you tried a fried blooming onion? They taste great. If you haven’t had one - they cut open a sweet Vidalia onion and dip it in batter and deep fry it and all the layers spread out. You are probably wondering why I am talking about onions and making everyone hungry; it is because onions ...read more

    Demonic Possession And Jesus Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 9, 2021
     | 3,668 views

    Every person who has not experienced conversion is under the power and sway of Satan. Jesus owns Christians; Satan doesn’t own Christians. Satan cannot own the body and mind of a Christian, but he can influence you.

    Last week we kicked off the series about examining Jesus’ words, or His teaching. Today, we observe His works, or His deeds. Sit in the synagogue with Jesus. Watch the works of Jesus together with fresh eyes. Come with me and see a day in the life of Jesus: Today’s Scripture And he went down to ...read more

    Chosen By Grace Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Nov 21, 2021
     | 2,853 views

    Paul gave 3 examples to show that God has not rejected Israel - his conversion, Elijah's experience and the remnant who believes. God hardens the hearts of unbelievers because they have chosen to harden their own hearts.

    Romans 11:1-10 Chosen By Grace When a relationship breaks up, we have questions. Questions like: What’s the problem? Who caused it? How did it happen? • These are the questions Paul has been addressing in Rom 9-11 regarding Israel’s relationship with God, their unbelief and rejection of the ...read more

    The Baptism Of The Holy Ghost

    Contributed by Anthony (Tony) Charles on Jul 25, 2025
     | 298 views

    The baptism of the Holy Ghost is not only to dwell within us but to empower us. Scripture clearly shows that while the Holy Spirit baptizes us into the Body of Christ at conversion, Jesus Himself baptizes us with the Holy Ghost for power and service.

    The Baptism of the Holy Ghost: God’s Progressive Revelation Introduction The baptism of the Holy Ghost represents one of the most significant promises in Scripture—God's plan to dwell within His people and empower them for service.

    Launching into Chapter 6 in the Gospel of John, we see Jesus performing a miracle that so many are familiar with; but do we REALLY know (and understand) the complexity of the conversation being had around the feeding of the 5,000?

    Beyond The Fear Of Infection Series

    Contributed by Paul Kallan on Feb 15, 2003
    based on 24 ratings
     | 3,346 views

    The courage of solidarity leads us to stand above the fear of infection and touch the other in his suffering and to lift him out of exclusion, loss of relationship and death. Then we become witnesses to the power of God in the world.

    The gospel passage Mark 1.40-45 shows how God relates himself to the human infirmities of body and mind. The story shows the possibility of human suffering under physical and mental infirmities. The story brings us clarity through the two opposing behaviours. God tries to bring healing into such a ...read more
