     | 969 views

    The difference between a victorious Christian life and a defeated one lies in the doing of the Word. The Word is a seed, but obedience is the soil where it bears fruit.

    BE A DOER OF THE WORD By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: James 1:22 – “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” Supporting Texts: Matthew 7:24-27, Luke 6:46, Romans 2:13, John 13:17, Joshua 1:8 INTRODUCTION: In an age of information, hearing the Word of God ...read more

     | 66 views

    Launching into Chapter 6 in the Gospel of John, we see Jesus performing a miracle that so many are familiar with; but do we REALLY know (and understand) the complexity of the conversation being had around the feeding of the 5,000?

    The Beauty Of Christian Life

    Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Jun 5, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,229 views

    The reason why many Christians, who claim to be holy, look miserable and depressed and long-faced is that they try to produce a sort of holiness by themselves through some rules made by men. They live again under law.

    The happiest person ever walked on the face of this earth is Jesus Christ. This doesn’t mean that He was the wealthiest, healthiest, most handsome and most influential person ever lived! But the joy of his life was centred completely on his trust in his Father (God Almighty). Jesus was not moved ...read more

    NASB; A line from the creed is followed by a biblical reference.

    I am an American Soldier. The first biblical reference is Judges 20:2 - The chiefs of all the people, even of all the tribes of Israel, took their stand in the assembly of the people of God, 400,000 foot soldiers who drew the sword.

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 18, 2024
     | 644 views

    Two ways, two sons, two destinies, two mothers but one father – Hagar and Sarah being the two mothers. Paul develops this position of two systems, one under bondage and one according to promise and freedom. Christians can place themselves under bondage.

    THE BOOK OF GALATIANS – CHAPTER 4:21–29 - MESSAGE 16 – THE ARGUMENT OF CONTRASTS: WHICH WOMAN ARE YOU FOLLOWING? Part 1 – Galatians 4 verses 21 – 23 We come now to the latter part of chapter 3 and the continuing evidence why Christians are not under Law but walk by grace through the promises ...read more

    Like Judas, let us forsake a casual relationship with Jesus and be more like Mary who developed a close, personal, and intimate relationship with Jesus Christ, the Savior.

    I ran across a book from 1904, entitled, “Maxwell’s Elementary grammar” that contained the following poem: "Oho!" said the pot to the kettle; "You are dirty and ugly and black! Sure no one would think you were metal, except when you're given a crack." "Not so! Not so!" kettle ...read more
