    Paul gives thanks for the church at Thessalonica because they were growing despite persecution. How can we learn to pray from his example?

    From time to time, I enjoy reading prayers parents share that were prayed by their children. Here are just a few prayers of thanks that I have come across. Dear Lord, thank you that we can come to church today and thank you that no one got their head crushed or lost their arm on the way here. Dear ...read more

    The Work Of The Holy Spirit In The Life Of A Christian Series

    Contributed by Bill Walker on Feb 25, 2017
     | 6,414 views

    On one extreme you have those who fervently practice what we call Pentecostalism and on the opposite extreme those who embrace only God’s Word as their model for thought and practice.

    THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE LIFE OF A CHRISTIAN Someone has said, “You will never truly know the power of God until you need the power of God.” I think that statement equally applies to God’s Holy Spirit. As we mentioned earlier in this series, too often Christians and ...read more

    Jeremiah was known as the weeping prophet. He faced great opposition and at one point blamed God for it. We often do the same. Jeremiah shows us the way out.

    “When Crisis Hits” Lamentations 3:7-9; 17-27 Once a month for the past 8 months I have met with a group of pastors in our area. We come together for three hours to learn from each other, to encourage each other and to pray for each other. We met this past Monday night and as we closed, my partner ...read more

    Two kings existed a long time ago that were so opposite. Today, there are two who want to be king of your life. Which one will you place upon the throne?

    Clashing of the Kings (El Choque de los Reyes) Mt. 2:1-16 The idea of a scrooge is not new. It is as old as the Bible. On that very first Christmas, there was a man who tried to kill all that is central to this special holiday. He is not ficticious. He was a man who became king, but was ...read more

     | 1,562 views

    There are a number of repercussions instituted by God as a result of the fall. Most movements in our culture today are opposition to this curse. What we fail to understand as a society is the masterful weaving of grace in the curse.

    One And A Half Verses To Get To Know Better

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Aug 30, 2025
     | 155 views

    Romans 8:28 doesn’t promise only good things will happen, but that God weaves even suffering, loss, and opposition into His greater plan for our ultimate good.

    Good MORNING. Here’s a little-known fact for you as we begin. Romans 8, where our epistle lesson comes from, is probably the second most taught, preached and studied chapters of the Bible, behind only the 23rd Psalm, which tells us how “the Lord is our Shepherd.” Unlike the 23rd Psalm, which is ...read more

    The Danger Of Loving The World And The Things Of The World

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 23, 2025
     | 286 views

    Scripture warns us clearly that the love of the world is in direct opposition to the love of the Father. When we become overly attached to the world, our spiritual sensitivity begins to die slowly.

    THE DANGER OF LOVING THE WORLD AND THE THINGS OF THE WORLD By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 John 2:15-17 (KJV) "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the ...read more
