Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Oct 28, 2022

“The eyes of the Lord go to and fro to strengthen those whose hearts are committed to Him …” 2 Chron. 16:9 When God is looking for someone to lift up, will He find you where He thought you would be?

David was found where expected (tending sheep): When Prophet Samuel was looking for someone to anoint as king over Israel, David was found expectedly tending his father’s sheep (1 Sam 16:11-13); He did not stray away from the field doing something else.

Sermon # 35 - The Sanctity Of Marriage Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 14, 2023

Marriage is God’s idea and the directive for a happy marriage is given by God Himself. When we honor marriage and treat our spouse the way God wants us to, our homes will be blessed and our families will be a blessing to many.

We read in Matthew 22:2, “The kingdom of heaven is like to a certain king, who made a marriage for his son..”(Webster) Have you ever wondered why the kingdom of heaven is likened to the marriage of a king’s son? Often we consider marriage to be a normal part of our lives, but fail to realize that ...read more

The Game Of Mutually Assured Destruction Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 11, 2015

It's one game board, but two games. Checkers and Chess are not only played differently, but they illustrate for me the difference between how the world deals with conflict and how God would have us do so. Do you know the difference?

The Blessings Of Praying For Our Authorities

Contributed by Paul Fritz on Oct 18, 2000

With tears in his eyes, Lincoln responded, “You are the very first person who has ever come into my office asking not, expecting not, but rather bringing me a gift of prayer. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

Benefit Yourself By Praying for Your Authorities (I Tim 2:1,2) There is a general skepticism about authorities in our world today.

Easy As Falling Off Your Horse

Contributed by Austin Mansfield on Jun 3, 2007

We, like Paul, as followers of Christ, Christians, are sent to the Gentiles of our time: secular humanists, moral relativists, materialists, even atheists, to open their eyes, like Saul’s were opened by Ananias, so they may turn from darkness to light.

In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Today we celebrate the Apostle Paul’s conversion. As Saul Paulus of Tarsus, he was a rising star in the rabbinical leadership of the time. When Saint Stephen was stoned to death as the first Christian martyr, Paul stood by, ...read more

The Truth About Truth

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jul 26, 2012

It may take a crucified church to bring a crucified Christ before the eyes of the world. Christ’s cross makes foolish human wisdom. The cross insults our intelligence (too simple), ability (nothing to do), and ambition (not glory for self).

Opening illustration: When Harvard University was founded, its motto was Veritas Christo et Ecclesiae —“Truth for Christ and the Church.” Its crest showed three books, one face down to symbolize the limitation of human knowledge. But in recent decades that book has been turned ...read more
