Just Like Us (Part Two)

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Feb 22, 2019

We all make mistakes. None of us are perfect and that includes those in the bible. Those great men and women of faith did some remarkable things but they had their flaws too. Today we'll look at Abraham and Joshua and see how they are just like us.

JUST LIKE US (part two) Recap: Last week we looked at the fact that although we all make mistakes it isn't easy to admit it. Sometimes we make the mistake of looking at celebrities in an elevated way that portrays them as larger than life and almost too perfect. Therefore we conclude that they ...read more

Gratitude For The Faithful

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 10, 2019

Writing to the "elect lady," John was aware of the delicate balance needed to show grace to those who had wronged her while refusing to compromise her convictions and faith. We must love others, but we cannot compromise our faith for the favor of men.

Gratitude for the Faithful 2 John 1-4 Our text today comes from the second general epistle the apostle John wrote. Along with the gospel that bears his name, and Revelation, John also wrote 1, 2, and 3rd John. It is believed to have been written around AD 85-95, near the end of John’s life. ...read more

At Midnight

Contributed by Larry Grant on Jul 3, 2022

Charles Spurgeon said, “Anyone can sing in the day. It is easy to sing when we can read the notes by daylight; but the skillful singer is he who can sing when there is not a ray of light to read by.... Songs in the night come only from God; they are not in the power of men.”

Acts 16:19-28 NKJV “At Midnight” July 3, 2022 Minister Smith taught me in Hour of Power one Thursday afternoon about a man named Horatio Spafford: In the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 he lost everything they owned and made plans, to move to Europe.

The Wind Of God's Mercy (2) Series

Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Sep 15, 2022

In the first part of this series, we likened the mercy of God to a wind. The wind of God's mercy directs the favour of God to the lives of men. God's mercy flows at his discretion. The wind of God's mercy is a searching, refreshing and restoring wind.

TEXT: 2 Samuel 9:1-5 (NLT) "One day David asked, 'Is anyone in Saul’s family still alive—anyone to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan’s sake?' He summoned a man named Ziba, who had been one of Saul’s servants. 'Are you Ziba?' the king asked. 'Yes sir, I am,'' ...read more

The Blessing Of Embracing The Truth

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jul 8, 2021

Winston Churchill once said, “Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.” But how we respond to truth determines the direction of our lives. It will determine the quality of our lives and the destiny of our eternal soul.

We have experienced the first miracle of Jesus at Cana of Galilee, where water was turned into wine, then we moved to the first ministry of Jesus at Jerusalem. Jesus was interviewed by Nicodemus concerning Who he really was. Nicodemus represented the ...read more

The Last Breakfast Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 5, 2021

The Lord's supper was prepared by others, but the Lord's breakfast is really just that, it is the Lord's breakfast that He prepared Himself. This is the only men's breakfast we read about in the Bible, and the Lord of the universe is both the host and the cook.

The Bible says God's mercies are new every morning, and the result is that many of His blessings have come to His people at breakfast. Hudson Taylor, the founder of the China Inland Mission, tells of this event in his life as he prepared to go to China. When he got to China he knew he would ...read more

Thank God For Man Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 10, 2021

Notice that Paul was thankful to God, but it was for these men that he was thankful. This does not seem like a very startling revelation until you begin to examine Paul's thinking all through the New Testament. You discover that man is the primary means by which Paul is made thankful.

Edward R. Morrow once told of the commencement speaker who was a Yale graduate. He used the 4 letters of YALE for his speech outline. Y was for youth; A was for ambition; L was for loyalty, and E was for energy. After his tedious trip through these four points one of the board graduates turned ...read more

The Prophetic Pulse Series

Contributed by Apostle Dr. Ruben L. Broadnax Jr. on Oct 23, 2024

In Acts 2, Peter quotes the prophet Joel, declaring that in the last days, God would pour out His Spirit, and a prophetic movement would arise—a movement where men and women, young and old, would hear God’s heart and declare His message.

We are living in a generation that is hungry for truth, desperate for hope, and longing for a sense of purpose. Many are searching for something real, something that transcends the chaos and confusion of our times. And while the world’s voice is often the loudest, there is another voice—a voice ...read more

Sermon # 9 - Seek The Lord Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Mar 27, 2025

Those who seek God and desire to have an intimate relationship with Him, will truly be blessed and will become a blessing to many. Abraham and David are great examples to us of men who truly desired God and sought after Him with all their heart and thereby became a great blessing to many.

We read in Psalms 53:2, “From heaven God looks down to see if anyone is wise enough to search for him.” (CEV) As we read Psalm 53:2, we realize something very important, that God is looking down from heaven to see if there is anyone among the mankind whom He has created, who are truly seeking ...read more
