    The God Who Runs

    Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Dec 6, 2014
     | 5,448 views

    A perspective on Luke 15: 1-3, 11b-32. The loving father does he wait for a lengthy and rehearsed apology from his returning son. He sees him coming in the distance and with joy runs out to greet him. In this way he brings honour again to his son.

    Luke 15: 1-3, 11b-32 The God Who Runs God loves to have a party. He has been known to host the best and biggest celebrations in heaven whenever a sinner turns around from following their own desires and decides to come home to God. Everyone is invited to celebrate. Our parable today is not so ...read more

    Being Like Noah: Living Righteously In The Last Days

    Contributed by Christian Jones on Jun 23, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,218 views

    Today, I invite you to open your Bibles to Genesis 6:9 as we explore the life of Noah and draw valuable lessons from his example. In a world that increasingly distances itself from God's righteousness, we find inspiration in Noah's faithfulness and obedience.

    Point 1: Walk with God (Genesis 6:9) Noah's defining characteristic was his unwavering commitment to walk with God. In a world filled with wickedness, Noah found favor because he lived in close fellowship with his Creator. Similarly, in the last days, we are called to cultivate an intimate ...read more

    People Of The First Christmas-The Magi Or Wise Men Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Dec 29, 2020
     | 3,160 views

    Even though the Magi or "wise men" have had a Christmas carol or two (or more) written about them, they're only mentioned in one paragraph of Matthew's Gospel. They came from a far distance, worshiped the Christ Child, and then went back home, never to be heard from again.

    Introduction: the shepherds of Bethlehem were the only recorded visitors to go see Joseph, Mary, and Baby Jesus on the night He was born. Sometime later, Matthew recorded that “wise men (KJV)” or magi (several other translations) came to Jerusalem. The purpose of their visit was to worship the One ...read more

    The Danger Of Following From Afar (Peter's Story)

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Apr 11, 2025
     | 61 views

    Peter’s story is a powerful warning and an encouraging reminder. Though he followed from afar and fell, he also found restoration. Let us not be casual in our walk with God. A distant walk leads to disaster, but a close walk leads to destiny.

    THE DANGER OF FOLLOWING FROM AFAR (PETER'S STORY) By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Matthew 26:57–75 “But Peter followed Him afar off unto the high priest’s palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.” – Matthew 26:58 (KJV) Supporting Texts: Luke 22:54–62, John 18:15–18, ...read more

    Many people avoid God, because they don’t believe He can be known, others stay away because they don’t think they would like Him if they knew Him! Still others would rather hold on to the temporal pleasures of a sinful life, assuming that the way of God is less than fulfilling or meaningful!

    What if we got as serious about the sin in our lives as we have about the coronavirus. “What if we treated sin like it was the coronavirus.” How would our lives change?

    Treating Sin Like the Coronavirus Last week, I was looking at Facebook, and I came across a post that made me stop and think.
