    Sermon # 9 - Arise From Your Slumber Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 18, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,063 views

    Just as Jonah slept through the raging storm there were others in the Bible who also slept for various reasons. Today if the church does not wake up and continues to be in slumber of any sort, we will become easy targets of the evil one.

    We read in Jonah 1:5-6, And the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god; and they cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it unto them. But Jonah was gone down into the innermost parts of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep. So the shipmaster came to ...read more

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 17, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,672 views

    God has chosen us and called us to be a Royal Priesthood, but often we don’t realize our position in Christ. Abraham’s life will encourage us to realize how God can fulfill His great plans in the lives of those whom God has called and chosen.

    We read in 1 Peter 2:9, However, you are chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, people who belong to God. You were chosen to tell about the excellent qualities of God, who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. (GW) In the verses preceding the above mentioned verse, Peter ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 659 views

    Those who seek God with all their heart and put their faith in His Son Jesus will experience an amazing transformation in their lives and will become a blessing to many. Abraham in the Old Testament and Paul in the New Testament are great examples of those who truly sought God.

    We read in Genesis 12:4, “When Abram was seventy-five years old, he started out from Haran, as the LORD had told him to do; and Lot went with him.” (GNB) Abram was seventy five years old, when he ventured out on the journey that God asked him to undertake. Generally, people at that age will want ...read more

    Good news came to them, and they made it their purpose to see the new king. It started with a star, then a search and ended with worship.

    Ephesians 4

    THE BODY OF CHRIST (EPHESIANS 4) I accepted Christ when I was 17 in a mid-size church. Our church did not have a pastor since the last one left a few years ago before I accepted Christ.

    Route To Great Awakening

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024
     | 1,154 views

    We can go on living as though this world were everything, and there is no eternal world or great God to whom we are accountable. But when Christ returns will each one of us account for your life with joy?

    Opening illustration: God awakened me when I went to work in the Middle East. Till then I was just a lukewarm and laidback Christian. I saw the great need for the Gospel of Christ to be proclaimed to the so many lost souls there. They had no idea that they were perishing and there was only one way ...read more

    Today, the civil phase begins. The story of Jesus’ trek between Gethsemane and Golgotha is known as the Passion. You really cannot truly understand the cross until you understand how Jesus got there and what took place on the day He was crucified.

    Johnnie Cochran was the famous defense attorney of OJ Simpson. Many of you will remember his closing arguments in that case, “If it doesn’t fit, you must acquit.” He was once asked whom he would have liked to defense. Cochran’s answer is telling: “Jesus is the person I would like to have defended. ...read more

    The Apostle Paul writes a letter to the Philippian while under house arrest chained to two Romans guards around the clock. He may also be executed for his faith in Jesus as the Christ. Yet, through it all, Paul is able to rejoice.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,897 views

    The pandemic forced churches to move from the four walls and the eloquent edifices to online sermons with an escalated determination to ensure influential and doctrine-based content because the new pandemic church demanded we do so.

    “Don't lose the Glory” By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. SCRIPTURE: 1 Samuel 4:19-22 “And about the time of her death the women that stood by her said unto her, Fear not; for thou hast born a son.

     | 1,847 views

    Do you want to be saved and be sure that eternal life is yours? As we look at the Parable of the Good Samaritan in different light, we will receive an answer to that question.

    We read in Acts 2:47, “every day the Lord was adding to their number those being saved.” (TLV) As we study the latter part of Acts 2:47 we take special note of the fact “that every day the Lord was adding to their numbers those being saved.” Firstly it was the Lord Himself who adding the people ...read more

    While all of our Presidents have not been devout Christians, many have. Many of these deserve our respect and attention. They teach us about God through their words and actions.

    We have to admit that our Founding Fathers were brilliant men. They have given us a Constitution that is second to none and capable of lasting as long as the earth stands. One reason for this is that these men understood human nature. Within the Constitution and other American documents these men ...read more

     | 2,427 views

    Are we targets of envy or do we sometimes envy others? Jealousy is a strong emotion that can cause much harm, and God’s word teaches us how to deal with it and be rid of it from our lives.

    We read in Hebrews 13:5, Don't love money. Be happy with what you have because God has said, "I will never abandon you or leave you." (GW) One of the crucial emotions that a majority of people struggle with, is that of jealousy, though many feel uncomfortable to accept this fact. If ...read more
