The online dictionary states that duty is a moral or legal obligation; a responsibility or a task or action that someone is required to perform. So, as a Christian, what is our duty?

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Aug 4, 2025
     | 596 views

    Rash Promises

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 12, 2025
     | 207 views

    Rash vows reveal hearts that bargain in fear, but God calls us to trust His covenant grace, where Christ’s finished work—not our promises—secures victory and freedom.

     | 353 views

    Paul reminds the Corinthians that true Christian leadership isn't about  credentials but pointing people to Christ. Our transformed lives are the Holy Spirit’s “letters of recommendation,” of God's truth.  

    Letters of Recommendation GOOD MORNING. This morning, we’re looking at our Epistle lesson, and letters of recommendation if you saw that. You might have needed one for a job, a college application, to rent an apartment. I’ve written lots. But what is your ultimate letter of recommendation? We can ...read more

     | 117 views

    God desires the giver before the gift—when we first surrender our hearts to Him, every act of generosity, including financial giving, flows joyfully and becomes an overflow of grace.

    (God wants the giver before the gift) --- Introduction – Life Stirs Up Life Before we even open our Bibles, think about something amazing. The New Testament calls the church the body of Christ. Not a building. Not bricks and mortar. You and I are the church. Every part of a body matters. ...read more
