    When the romance is gone from your marriage, stay married and be a channel of blessing to your family. However, set your unbelieving spouse free if he or she wants out.

    Sonja Ely, of Dallas, Oregon, was watching her 5-year-old granddaughter Christy play with her dolls. At one point, Christy “staged” a wedding, first playing the role of the bride's mother who assigned specific duties, then suddenly becoming the bride with her “teddy bear” groom.

    The Purpose Of The Anointing

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 28, 2025
     | 282 views

    The anointing is given for a divine purpose: to serve God’s kingdom, set the captives free, and advance His will on earth. It is not for personal gain or self-glorification but for fulfilling God’s assignment.

    THE PURPOSE OF THE ANOINTING By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Isaiah 61:1-3 "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of ...read more

    Guilty Conscience Series

    Contributed by Mark Schaeufele on Apr 3, 2025
     | 130 views

    We are all sinners, and with that brings conviction by the Holy Spirit and the guilt that sin brings. The way to be set free from both the sin and the guilt is believing and receiving Jesus as your Savior.

    GUILTY CONSCIOUS Text: Acts 24:22-27 Introduction 1. Oswald Chambers said, "Conviction of sin is one of the rarest things that ever strikes a man. It is the threshold of an understanding of God. Jesus Christ said that when the Holy Spirit came, He would convict of sin, and when the Holy ...read more

    Through our relationship with Jesus Christ and walking in the power of the Holy Spirit, we are free from guilt and condemnation, and can live in the freedom and power that God has intended for us.

    Good morning, church family! Today, we're diving into a message of hope and love. It's a message of the incredible power of the Holy Spirit working in our lives, and a message about the freedom we have in Christ – the freedom from condemnation. In the words of George G. Bloomer, "The Gospel is not ...read more

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jan 29, 2010
    based on 7 ratings
     | 15,169 views

    REWARDS IN HEAVEN. Somehow that seems wrong to me. Surely heaven is enough reward and besides, if all sin is regarded as the same and deserving of hell, how can good deeds then be rated on a scale, and rewarded accordingly?

    Matthew 6 – Part 1 – FORGET THE REWARDS, I’LL DO IT FOR FREE! Everywhere I look people offer me rewards if I buy this or shop at their store, or buy petrol at certain petrol stations. I am rewarded on my credit card if I buy a certain amount using their card. People at the Super ...read more

    All believers are partakers of the heavenly calling. Having been called to belong to Jesus, we press on towards the mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

    I. THE HIGH CALLING OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS. Philippians 3:14. When we are converted, we have a change of mind, a change of heart. Yet this is not only a once-for-all experience, but also an on-going process which will not be completed this side of eternity. We have been changed, we are being ...read more

    As we envision the Nativity-—the baby Jesus surrounded by his parents, shepherds and wise men—-let’s remind ourselves that our Lord came to suffer and set captives free.

    "Freedom for Prisoners" Rev Dr Robert Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts As we celebrate the birth of Jesus, let’s also be aware of how He began His ministry. Jesus read these words from Isaiah, and applied them to Himself: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, ...read more

    Liberty Or Legalism?

    based on 124 ratings
     | 11,088 views

    How free should you be as a Christian - especially when dealing with younger, less mature believers. Paul addresses a difficult subject as freedom and legalism are compared. The answers may surprise you.

    I love steak. I really do. Whenever we go out it’s what I feel like most of the time. For a time I became a little reluctant to eat my favorite meat after doing a series of stories as a reporter on ecoli. You remember that, don’t you?

    Grace is a terribly misunderstood word and defining it sufficiently is notoriously difficult. E. Stanley Jones once said: “Grace is free, but when once you take it you are bound forever to the Giver.”

    GRACE! SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 2:4 – 9 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ, and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ...read more

    If convicted felons were set free by our court system because someone else wanted to take their punishment, imagine the outcry! Well, Jesus did exactly that. . . *HANDOUT INCLUDED*

    How To Be Right With God TEXT: Rom. 3:21-26 "But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For ...read more

    When Peter was in prison, awaiting what appeared to be a sure execution, the church prayed without ceasing for him and Peter was set free by an angel of the Lord. Powerful things happen the church prays.

    In the text, we find something taking place that seems to be missing in many churches today – that is church folk praying for church folk. In this particular case, a church member in trouble. The Apostle Peter is on death roll and all petitions to commute his sentence have been exhausted. ...read more
