    Walk In Love

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 25, 2025
     | 619 views

    Likely, in our spiritual lives, there has been at least one person who has impacted your life, creating a desire to develop the kind of walk with the Lord that closely resembled theirs. While each of these have their place, none can compare to the influence of our heavenly Father.

    Walk in Love Ephesians 5: 1-2 Take a moment to consider those who have greatly impacted your life. Surely, we have all had a family member, friend, or mentor that we looked-up to, someone whose influence created a desire for us to become like them. For me, it was my grand-father. My childhood was ...read more

    Part 5: The Strength That Comes From Trusting God Alone Series

    Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Feb 10, 2026
     | 161 views

    God doesn't remove the mountain; He gives you the feet to climb it. In this series finale, we discover the "Rear-Foot Placement" of the mountain deer. The goal of faith isn't to level the valley, but to develop the strength to tread on the heights.

    Here's what I've been realizing this week: we've spent five weeks together learning how to stand in the wreckage. How to trust when nothing changes. How to move when the way is unclear. But I wonder if some of you are still waiting for God to change your valley. Still praying for the ...read more

     | 4,341 views

    The Power we need to fulfil the Purpose of God for our lives in our generation rests solely on having, maintaining and retaining the Character of God in our lives.

    God's strategy to defeat the enemies and fulfill His plan through man is character. The character of a man is God's strategy. That's why the matter of character is so important to God. When you check the method of God from the Garden of Eden, the only thing He tied the fulfilment of ...read more

    The moment we are born, we begin to age. We grow, develop, and then deteriorate ­ and our memory is one of the first things to go. Our only hope in life is this: God never changes. He is the one constant we can count on while everything around us ra

    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,406 views

    How many times have we heard someone say as an excuse to the way they act, "That’s just the way I am and I can’t help it"? Christ is concerned with the way we act, and there are certain characteristics he wants us to develop in our lives.

    HOW SHOULD I ACT, ANYWAY? A. Have you been in an UNCOMFORTABLE situation where you didn’t know how to ACT? 1. Undoubtedly we all have at one time.

    God obviously wants us to know what will happen in the End Times because his Word contains so much about those times. The New Testament teachings about the end times are often developed from Old Testament passages, like Daniel 12:1-3.
