Calibrating With God Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Sep 7, 2021

Part of serving Jesus Christ is our lifelong commitment to calibrate and recalibrate what goes on within us and what goes on in our relationship to the people in our lives. This frequent adjustment is based upon His revealed will in His Word.

Calibrating with God (Proverbs 29:20, 23-27) 1. One man: “While working as a prison guard in Prague, part of my job included a lot of walking up and down the prison corridors.

Character Study Of Jeroboam Series

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 22, 2025

Jeroboam had the opportunity to establish a great dynasty, but he chose fear over faith, idolatry over righteousness, and political survival over spiritual truth. His life is a cautionary tale of how leadership can be misused when one does not trust in God.

No Regret That Day

Contributed by Pastor Renji George on May 30, 2024

I fear in my heart all the time whether my service for the Lord turn out to be dead works that Day! Walking before the Lord in humility everyday will preserve me from the danger of being pride.

No matter how great and splendid our spiritual works are, if they are originated from a self-centred heart with selfish motives, Bible says they will be burned up on that Day before the Lord! (1 Corinth 3:12-15). Many people might have been blessed through them, but they will be dead works and will ...read more

Walking On Water

Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Jun 18, 2005

The Christian life is like "Walking on Water" and to do it successfully we need to be assured that Jesus Prays for Us; He’s Present with Us, Helps Us to cope with Fear and Urges Us to Move Out in Faith.

WALKING ON WATER “Walking on water” – this is a biblical phrase which has found its way in everyday use. What does it mean? The secular meaning is that a person is doing wonders - but we can’t quite understand how they’re doing it and there’s a hint of danger that it could all go wrong! The ...read more

The Necessity For Brotherhood

Contributed by Carl Allen on Aug 3, 2005

Agenda Anxiety Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 22, 2001

When Jesus speaks to the church, as to ancient Jerusalem, he gives us agenda anxiety, for we fear that we are not going to get done what we want to do, since his agenda is far different.

The campaigns are over. So are the celebrations and the inaugural balls. The toasts, the handshakes, the good wishes are about to fade into memory. Today, for George Walker Bush, the work begins. Today, the list of things to do takes on shape. Today, the agenda becomes different. Yesterday he ...read more

Hollow And Empty

Contributed by David Richardson on Oct 12, 2005

If we are living our lives to ourselves, we will be the grinch, or Ebenezer Scrooge. Our insides will be so messed up that we’ll soon be living a life of fear and paranoia, feeling that everyone is out to get us.

Devoted To Destruction Series

Contributed by Carl Allen on May 5, 2010

In the life of the churches, Paul feared nothing so much as false doctrine, since it is the underlying source of ungodly behavior. His deep concern for the spiritual welfare of the Corinthians believers would be fully as concerning for the church today.

Devoted to Destruction Galatians 1:6-9 Introduction The New Testament speaks of two general categories of people whom God devoted to destruction. The first category is “anyone [who] does not love the Lord.” The second is false teachers, who in Galatians 1:8-9 Paul twice calls ...read more
