    Two Paths, Two Destinies Series

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Aug 25, 2025
     | 350 views

    The Christian life demands that we endure God's tests to receive the crown of life, while simultaneously taking full responsibility for the internal temptations that, if unchecked, arise from our own desires and lead to spiritual death.

    Introduction: The Finish Line Many of us know the feeling of a great test. Perhaps it was a final exam in university that determined your grade for the entire semester. Maybe it was a major project or presentation at work, with your career on the line. Or maybe it was a physical challenge, like ...read more

     | 381 views

    As we continue looking at Jesus' High Priestly Prayer, we see Him shift focus to the disciples (and by extension - us). How wonderful it is that we have an advocate with the Father.

    The High Priestly Prayer (part two - John Part 55) Text: John 17:6-20 Well, this morning we’re going to continue looking at the High Priestly Prayer of Jesus in John chapter 17. Last Sunday we saw Jesus pray for Himself. Specifically that The Father would glorify the Son, so that the Son could ...read more

    If we develop our relationship with Jesus and want to become all that God would have us be, then God will treat us in whatever way necessary to make it happen.

    I would like to highlight three things from these six verses: Jeroboam II was a magnificent but unspiritual King, Israel was an unsatisfied nation, and Yahweh was all sufficient God. What is your identity.

    Glory Of Christian Leadership

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024
     | 593 views

    Many people treated Jesus like a celebrity as they followed Him from place to place, listened to His teaching, observed His miracles, and sought healing from His touch. Yet Jesus was never self-important or aloof, but available to all.

    Opening illustration: In today’s celebrity-obsessed culture, it isn’t surprising that entrepreneurs are marketing “celebrities as products … allowing them to sell their personal time and attention.” Vauhini Vara’s article in The New Yorker noted that for $15,000, you can have a personal meeting ...read more

    The Departure Of Jesus From This World Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 20, 2024
     | 676 views

    We will find that Jesus’ death did three things, so that is where we will focus our attention. Jesus’ death brought a threefold glory. Jesus’ death demanded a new commandment. Jesus’ death revealed stumbling and faltering loyalty.

    Last time we ended our study with Judas being asked by Jesus to go and do quickly what he was going to do. Tonight we find Jesus talking about His approaching death. In tonight’s passage we will find that Jesus’ death did three things, so that is where we will focus our attention. First, let’s ...read more
