Being Right With God

Contributed by Kumar Aryal on Jul 9, 2020

How many of you know the meaning of righteousness? It is generally defined as"the quality of being morally right or justifiable.” In biblical terms, righteousness is defined as “being right with God.” Now the question is, how can we become righteous or be right with God?

Preaching From Philippians #1

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021

In Paul’s writings, his greetings varied from church to church. He made the greetings fit the church he was addressing and the things he wanted to talk about.

For example, when he wrote to the Corinthians he stated that he was an Apostle in his greetings. Look at 1 Cor. 1:1 “Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother.” He did not mention that he was an Apostle in his address to the Philippians! He ...read more

A Pathway To Success - Beyond Uncertianty

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Apr 28, 2020

Someone has well said, “Nature forms us. Sin deforms us. Education informs us. BUT ONLY CHRIST TRANSFORMS US.” The Lord doesn’t expect us to do everything, but He does expect us to do something. He expects us to be more alert to the opportunities around us to pray, live and witness for Christ.

The Apostle Paul who had invested so much in the life of young Timothy, helps him prepare for a new beginning by offering him a pathway to success. I believe this is also a pathway for our success as we prepare the church to make its own mark. Timothy had been left at Ephesus to manage the affairs ...read more
