    Lest We Drift

    Contributed by Clark Tanner on Jan 5, 2002
    based on 27 ratings
     | 3,754 views

    This is a warning, not from a God who wants to find fault, but from a God who has forgiven fault and desires to encourage and purify.

    “For this reason we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. For if the word spoken through angels proved unalterable, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense, how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?

     | 956 views

    The secret place transforms into a sacred space, becoming a desired destination. This journey not only provides protection, but also empowers us with a divine anointing.

    Today, we will explore the topic of the anointing and its significance in our lives as believers. The anointing is not just a feeling or emotional experience; it is the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit that equips us to confront and overcome the works of the devil. Let us delve into this ...read more

     | 911 views

    The Christian journey is often described as a race. Unlike earthly competitions where only one person wins, in the race of faith, every believer who runs well and endures to the end will receive the prize of eternal life.

    RUNNING THE RACE By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Hebrews 12:1-2 "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles.

    This psalm expresses gratitude to God – something we can ALL do more of. What we choose to do with this information is entirely up to each of us. Will we desire to run to Him, or be slaves to ourselves and our own desires?

    Have You Got Milk?

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 3, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,278 views

    The words of the Bible are likened to milk, and they are as essential to our spiritual growth as milk is to the growth of the human body. If you desire physical life then drink cow’s milk. If you desire spiritual life then drink the milk of God’s Word.

    I am sure the majority of you have watched the television commercials advertising milk with the catchy little slogan that says, “Got milk?” Maybe you recall the commercials of years gone by that said, “Milk, it does the body good.” What you can pick up from these slogans is that milk is good for ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,316 views

    Jesus taught the Pharisees how He desires sincere love for people over meaningless ritual, and how He desires grace over legalism. Those who adhere to ritual and tradition are often unable to love others or worship God.

    In our message today, we will see how Jesus taught the Pharisees that forgiveness and grace toward others is a necessity before worship. The capacity to extend love and mercy is something that must be present in a person’s heart before he or she is able to worship the Lord in spirit and truth, as ...read more
