The Anatomy Of Hope Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

Christ saw pain as an opportunity for greater pleasure. Christ saw enduring pain for doing what is right as a door for His greatest delight – God Himself. We are to arm ourselves with this same mindset.

Psychologists tell us people want to be known. Some people want to be known for their work as an actor, a singer, or other want to be known as a culinary artist. Others just want to be known. Some people take the need to be known to the extreme. A Jamaican man set a distance record of 23.11 miles ...read more

Protecting The Unity Of The Church

Contributed by Greg Warren on Jun 16, 2021

The importance of protecting the unity of the church and practical principles and steps for doing so.

We'd like to think that the church is immune to conflict and disagreement. After all, we're all Christians here. Right? Well, don't be naive. Hopefully, we're all striving to be like Christ. But we're also humans who sometimes fall short. We say things or react before we ...read more

When God Doesn't Make Sense Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Jun 16, 2021

Maybe the Lord didn't show up when you needed Him. Maybe there was absolute silence in response to your most desperate prayers. It's happened before, and to people Jesus loved dearly. What could account for Jesus' seeming uncaring response?

Boy, we live in some tumultuous times, don’t we? Earthquake and tsunami in Japan. A nuclear disaster there as a result. Uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt and Libya. Our nation involved in wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and now Libya. And wasn’t it only a few months ago that a huge earthquake ...read more

La Prioridad De Amor

Contributed by Barnabas Park on Jan 15, 2021

The First Hinderances For Spiritual Growth: Having Not Been Born Again (1) Series

Contributed by Barnabas Park on Jan 17, 2021

I defined spiritual growth in terms of "being conformed to the image of His Son" Christian activities or ministries wouldn't guarantee spiritual growth, unless one has the spiritual life, to begin with. One has to be born again to start and grow in spiritual life.

The four most common hindrances for Spiritual Growth. 1. Having not been born again by Barnabas Park Romans 8:29: For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the first-born among many brethren; Beginning today, I would like to share ...read more

Pergamum: Satan's Throne Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jan 24, 2021

Are we clinging to our faith in Jesus and His word as firmly and as stubbornly as the Christians in Pergamum did or are we guilty of trying to live a compromised life with one foot in the world and one foot in the church?

There was once a king who ruled over a vast city. He was feared for his might and loved for his wisdom. Now, in the heart of the city was a well whose waters were pure and crystalline from which all the inhabitants drank … except the king.

Humble Yourself Series

Contributed by Kamalanathan Francis on Feb 20, 2021

Humble life is part of a disciple, a command from the Lord himself. A proud heart is an abomination to the Lord, honour comes after humility.

There is a reward to anyone who humbles before God. Peter insists that we humble in the hand of God and not before humans. Christian Scholar and author C. S. Lewis, said, "a proud man is always looking down on things and people;" As a result, such people lose the opportunity to serve ...read more

Rejecting Jesus Or Handling Him With Care

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Apr 12, 2022

Experiencing rejection is a normal part of life. It happens to all of us. How could a single Palm Sunday Celebration cause the religious leaders to be jealous, and envious of Jesus? What causes men to reject him?

Stand Firm And Work Hard Series

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Apr 16, 2022

'Stand firm and work hard' might seem a very strange Easter message. But it's Paul's key message in 1 Corinthians 15 - the longest passage on the resurrection in the Bible. The resurrection gives us hope - and that hope gives us reason to stand firm and work hard.

Easter Sunday is the day when we celebrate the fact that God raised Jesus from death. When I say WE celebrate the fact that God raised Jesus from the dead, I mean, WE IN THIS CHURCH celebrate it. Clearly, a lot of other people DON'T celebrate it. A few years ago the Daily Telegraph conducted ...read more
