    That we had been love even before we were born and will always be love! From the dateless past to eternity we had been love.

    “But God commendeth His own love towards us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” God has exhibited or showed His love in this unusual and remarkable manner. Unusual because of the manner it was done. Death at the cross. This verse which I love most as a demonstration of the ...read more

    Are The Ministry Gifts And Calling Of God Without Repentance?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Aug 13, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,065 views

    There is a belief in the church today that a person called to minister can still be effectual in reaching others for the sake of the Gospel because “the gifts and calling of God are without repentance” (Rom 11:29 KJV).

    In other words, a person can be in active and open unholy living and in rebellion to God’s law and still retain their position to be used to bless others without changing their sinful ways through repentance. It is true that God can use anything to promote His kingdom. He even used a donkey to get ...read more

    God's Formula For Success

     | 11,566 views

    In a day of a struggling economy, we need to be reminded of what it really takes to be successful and prosperous. God’s call to Joshua reminds us of real success!

    There is a common desire within every person to feel successful isn’t it? Nobody wants to fail whether it’s in life, their business/employment, or their church. And sadly, we often measure our worth on the basis of how successful we are. By the world’s standard, success often means luxury, ...read more

    Our identity will determine our activity. We the body of Christ find who we are in Him. If we identify with Christ we live by faith that matures into love.

    Intro: Last week as we began studying Paul’s letter labeled Ephesians we began to learn about our identity. Remember that I said that our identity is important because it determines our activity. What we will see this morning is God’s power in us. Paul got extremely excited in the first 14 ...read more

    The psalmist faced the same kind of choices we face. He may not have been living through a pandemic, deciding for or against mask, for or against vaccines or deciding which political party is right or wrong, yet he offers some great advice.

    The Psalmist poses a thought-provoking question in Psalms 25:12. “What man is he that feareth the Lord?” Ponder his question for a moment…Then allow that question to provoke a self-examination. This psalm and the three preceding it reveals all the postures of worship: David presented in all the ...read more
