    Smyrna: Riches Within Poverty

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 12, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,675 views

    The second church Jesus instructed John to pen a letter was the church in Smyrna. It was situated within a city of great wealth and affluence, and yet many believers lived in poverty. They were not rich by the world's standards, but they were rich in grace.

    Smyrna: Riches within Poverty Revelation 2: 8-11 Today we come to Smyrna, the second church within the series of letters John was instructed to write in the Revelation. It is interesting to note, that of the seven churches, only two received all praise and encouragement from the Lord, with no ...read more

    Pergamos: A Compromising Commitment

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 20, 2020
     | 5,356 views

    Pergamos was a prominent city, but there was much idolatry and immorality there. Some of the believers had remained faithful, but others had compromised their stand for the Lord. Jesus admonished them to abide faithful.

    Pergamos: A Compromising Commitment Revelation 2: 12-17 Pergamos was a beautifully situated city with an air of royalty about it. It sat on top of a huge mountain, arising ever so steeply and majestically out of a beautiful valley. The city's citizens could see the Mediterranean Sea some ...read more

    Against All Odds Series

    Nehemiah has to face the challenges of doing something he was not familiar with but it is the will of God. He has to inspect the wall, motivate the people and contend with the oppositions.

    We had a remarkable breakthrough in chapter 2 when Nehemiah was granted the opportunity to see the King, after 4 months of praying and waiting. • Even with all that praying, it wasn’t a simple thing for Nehemiah to seek the King’s favour. He was very much afraid (2:2). • Imagine asking for leave ...read more

    Commissioned For Missions

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 12, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,747 views

    Commissioning Service: This message explores a significant ministry, as it looks at the "missionary call." To be discussed is the role played by God, and also the commitment required of the home church in the missionary’s support.

    During the Battle of Britain in the summer of 1940, Winston Churchill said of the brave men of the Royal Air Force, “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.” A similar statement could be made concerning the missionaries from our churches. Compared to the larger ...read more

    Have you ever been to a very beautiful wedding ceremony? I’ve been to several weddings in my day that were just really something special.

    Have you ever been to a very beautiful wedding ceremony? I’ve been to several weddings in my day that were just really something special.

    NOT A REAL CHRISTIAN Have you ever had someone tell you that you’re not really a Christian or not saved? Maybe because, they said, you don’t belong to the right church or you celebrate the wrong holidays or whatever.

    A sermon about learning to love like God.

    “The Kind of God We Are Dealing With” Luke 6:27-38 Somebody hurt you and you can’t forget about it. Maybe it was yesterday; maybe it was last month. Maybe it was years ago and the memory of that injury still lurks in unguarded corners of your mind. It’s a monster, that irrepressible hate—an ...read more

    What We Can Learn From The Past (New Year’s Sermon)

    When President Bill Clinton was going through a sex scandal with Monica Lewinski, the pundits in Washington could not figure out how he could survive this scandal POLITICALLY and PHYSICALLY.

    That is, almost daily he appeared on television, and it seemed like the very serious allegations that were being leveled against him were not phasing him in the slightest. • Some said it was because he is shameless • Others, pundits in Washington, had a different take on it. They said, the only ...read more

    Grace From Galatians (4-19)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022
     | 1,278 views

    As children, our parents told us things that they felt were best for us, but we often thought we knew more than they did.

    Isn’t it amazing how children, in the short time they have been here on earth, seem to think they are able to accumulate more knowledge than us old timers who have been around 60 or 70 years? But in all fairness, I have met some parents whose children were smarter than they were, and that does not ...read more

    Provoking Thoughts From (3 John)

     | 2,501 views

    Again, I want to bring to your attention the fact that second and third John are very small books,

    but to say they were insignificant would be like saying a person who is short is not significant. We know that size does not have anything to do with significance. However, there is a contrast between second and third John. For example, Remember, we mentioned in the previous message that some ...read more

    Removing The Veil (February 28, 2022)

     | 2,438 views

    Unbelief always causes problems! In today’s text, Paul associates the veil with unbelief!

    REMOVING THE VEIL Text: 2 Corinthians 3:12 - 4:2 2 Co 3:12-18  Since, then, we have such a hope, we act with great boldness,  (13)  not like Moses, who put a veil over his face to keep the people of Israel from gazing at the end of the glory that was being set aside. ...read more

    The Marathon Of Life

    Contributed by Paddick Van Zyl on Jun 24, 2020
     | 5,651 views

    Many believers finish their race of faith and graduate to heaven. Fewer believers finish their race of faith WELL, and graduate. What is the difference? What can we do to ensure that we finish well? Life is a marathon, and thus needs stamina and endurance to finish. It is not a sprint.

    The Marathon of Life Pastor Paddick Van Zyl 23-06-2020 Sermon Outline Introduction I came across the fowling written by J. Michael Shannon on the topic of running: “According to news reports, a 100-year-old British man has become the world’s oldest marathon runner, completing a race in Canada. ...read more
