    A sermon about the importance of being immersed in the Word of God.

    “Speak, Lord, We are Listening” 1 Samuel 3:1-4a The passage begins in darkness, not just the kind of darkness we experience at night, although it is nighttime. We are told that “the lamp of God had not yet gone out.” The lamp of God, according to Exodus 27, was supposed to burn from ...read more

    As we journey through life, we inevitably encounter moments of pain, heartbreak, and struggles. Yet, what if these experiences, far from being signs of God's absence, are actually evidence of His deep presence and transformative power, that can lead us to a brighter future.

    SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES (1 Peter 4:12-13) [12] Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: [13] But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's ...read more

    The Will Of God

    Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on May 2, 2022
     | 7,221 views

    So often we treat the will of God like some kind of good luck charm, lucky penny, or rabbits’ foot. The will of God consists of things that are in line with God’s plan and purpose.

    The Will of God By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - There comes a point or there should come a point in every person’s spiritual walk and their ultimate relationship with God that they get tired of religion at least it has for me. Now that doesn’t mean we get tired of God or serving Him, ...read more

    Man's Fickleness And God's Faithfulness Series

    based on 7 ratings
     | 16,312 views

    In Isaiah 65 and 66, Isaiah presents the contrast between man’s fickleness and God’s faithfulness.

    So far, we’ve spent five weeks in the Book of Isaiah, focusing on how Isaiah describes the “Day of the Lord”. As I’ve pointed out during that time, much of what Isaiah writes deals with various aspects of the “Day of the Lord”, so all we’ve really been able to do is to look at a few brief snapshots ...read more

    Testing and temptation: Jesus’s encounter with the Devil was a shadow of the cross in the wilderness.

    We just heard the reading from Matthew 4. When Matthew wrote his book, he had no idea that there was going to be a chapter break right at that point of his book. So I suggest we take a look at a few verses before Matthew 4 to get a sense of Matthew’s thought pattern. At the end of Chapter 3, we ...read more
