It’s a series devoted to explaining, promoting, and advocating living life with the fruit of the Spirit. Ask the person sitting next to you if they know the fruit of the Spirit.

     | 3,090 views

    Today I want to talk about the injustices of life. Have you walked through a season when you couldn't seem to catch a break? Did you ever wonder if good days would ever return? Maybe you lost a job around the same time a loved one died. Or you were going through a painful divorce just as ...read more

     | 2,448 views

    This is the second message in a study of the sixth beatitude. The reward for the pure in heart is that they will "see God." How does that promise relate to the resurrection, and how does it relate to this life? What is biblical impact of seeing God?

It is recorded in Matthew 5:8: “Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.”i That is our ...read more

    The Lord Will Perfect That Which Concerns Me

    Contributed by Tesh Njokanma on Nov 19, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 40,560 views

    The worst thing that can happen to anyone is for the mercy of God to depart from the person. But when the mercy of God is on you and with you, you can be confident, you can be assured, that God will certainly perfect ALL that concerns you.

    Our text for today’s message is Psalm 138:8 which says ‘The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O Lord endures forever; do not forsake the works of Your hands’. This Psalm is a Psalm of David. When David said the Lord will perfect that which concerns him, he wasn’t praying to God. ...read more
