    It appears here that the relatives of Jesus want to have Him committed to a mental ward.

    Saturday of the 2nd week in Course 2023 Today’s Gospel is one of the shortest readings in the Lectionary. If you don’t pay attention, it’s over before you can grasp it. Why? Mark’s community of Rome was under almost constant persecution. So he took mostly Matthew’s Gospel and abridged it, ...read more

    The Bible says to have no partnership with people who do these evil things. What kind of people am I to avoid? People who are sexually immoral, impure, greedy for people and things. Avoid partnering with people who speak trash, talk foolish, and joke crudely.

    A twelve-year-old Taiwanese boy was visiting an art exhibit in 2015 when he accidentally tripped at a museum. Thankfully he was ok because he broke his fall by reaching out to support himself on a 350-year-old painting valued at $1.5 million. Insurance paid for the restoration, and I am sure he ...read more

    “You may decide to call yourself a pastor or an apostle or an evangelist, but in the book of God, which is the only book that matters, He writes that you are a messenger.” It is not what you call yourself that matters; it is what God calls you.

    THE SCALE OF THE ALMIGHTY Dr. D. K. Olukoya It is one thing to call yourself something; it is another thing for God to call you something. One of our elders in the Lord said, “You may decide to call yourself a pastor or an apostle or an evangelist, but in the book of God, which is the only book ...read more

    God Sees The Heart

    When we make choices, we tend to go for the eye-candy factor and make choices based on appearances. God always looks at what is inside the person’s heart, where we look at their appearance.

    GOD SEES THE HEART (Lent, March 19, 2023) Text: 1 Samuel 16:1-13 1 Samuel 16:1-13  The LORD said to Samuel, "How long will you grieve over Saul? I have rejected him from being king over Israel. Fill your horn with oil and set out; I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I ...read more

     | 3,224 views

    Listen to the cry of today? Evil has prevailed? This is deception. God is in absolute control. We must trust the plan of God by faith. Fear kills faith.

    TRUST THE PLAN? LEVEL OF FEAR VS YOUR LEVEL OF FAITH… By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com (This is a 2 part lesson.) The world is like a NURSERY SCHOOL where hundreds of perpetual babies are trying to teach others about WHO and WHAT GOD is without knowing God. They teach ...read more

    This sermon explores discerning divine truth from deception, and defending against the devil's schemes, using wisdom from 2 Corinthians 11:13-15.

    Good morning, beloved. In the words of the great Charles Spurgeon, "Discernment is not knowing the difference between right and wrong. It is knowing the difference between right and almost right." How fitting are these words as we gather today to delve into the depths of God's Word, seeking wisdom ...read more

    No Hiding Place

    Achan discovered the reality that sin has no hiding place and carries with it dire consequences not only for the offender but that are widespread. One man’s sin can destroy a family, a church, and even a nation.

    No Hiding Place – Joshua 7:1-12 Introduction: The actions of a few can have positive or negative consequences for hundreds. This is powerfully illustrated in the life of a man named Achan. His attitude may have been the same as many today: what I do is nobody’s business but mine. Achan ...read more

    God's curse pronounced against the serpent gave hope to the fallen pair who had rebelled against their Creator. That hope is fulfilled in the salvation offered in Christ the Lord.

    “The LORD God said to the serpent, ‘Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and ...read more

    After God's Heart

    David was a polygamist, adulterer and murdered. He was deceptive. He never meted out justice and was irresponsible with the crimes committed under his own roof. How does a man with that track-record get God's blessing with, "A man after my own heart"?

    After God’s Heart Psalm 19:1-14; 1 Samuel 13:14 On this Father's Day, I am led to a man of men, a prince of princes and a statesman of politicians. He was a poet, musician and military leader who conquered nations and put fear in his enemies. The most profound accomplishment that would be a ...read more
