The Power For Us Who Believe

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Apr 23, 2004

Pray to be enlightened to the resurrection power of Christ at work in our lives. We need to claim it and through faith release that power in our lives.

Soldiers Of Christ

Contributed by John White on May 11, 2017

One of the most challenging metaphors of the Christian life is presented in this simple passage. Here, as in his letter to the Ephesians, Paul compares Christian life to a soldier called to wage spiritual warfare. (Eph. 6:10-18)

Soldiers Of Christ II Tim. 2:1-15 The Word of God compares the Christian life to many things. Christians are to be fishermen of men; witnessing and winning souls in the waters of the world in which they live. (Matt. 4:19, Acts 1:8) Christians are also called to be dutiful and diligent farmers; ...read more

Stand Firm Series

Contributed by Neil Olcott on Sep 10, 2009

The sentence structure in the Greek proves that often we place the emphasis on the wrong thing in this passage. The emphasis is not on the armor, but on standing. The armor is simply a tool that we are to use to carry out God’s command, "STAND."

Text: Ephesians 6:10-20 Title: Stand Firm INTRODUCTION: Archibald Naismith tells us that at the Battle of Waterloo, when the fight became its worst, an officer galloped up to the Commander, the Duke of Wellington and said, "my Captain says we are being destroyed, we need reinforcements quickly." ...read more

Dimly Seeing God's Glory Series

Contributed by Bobby Stults on Jan 27, 2011

In our study tonight Jesus is drawing to a close His teaching for His disciples. The hour is at hand and His arrest is in the very near future! The disciples have a sense that something is going on, but their spiritual perception is dim and limited.

31 "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, 32 but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers." 33 Peter said to Him, "Lord, I am ready to go with You both to prison and to death." 34 ...read more

I Need A Real Friend

Contributed by Bishop William Bryant Wilmore, Jr. on Jul 31, 2003

There are times in each person’s life when real friends are needed.

Luke records a conversation that took place between Jesus and a lawyer concerning the question "What makes a real neighbor, or what makes a real friend?" The lawyer, apparently, was not a good neighbor and was looking for a way to justify himself. And so Jesus, as he oft times did, taught a lesson ...read more

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 27, 2021

How can we "maintain" unity in a world of churches that divide and split as a matter of course?

They couldn’t stand each other., however, neither side could afford to leave and build their own church building. And so they both continued ...read more
