    Winning over our friends, family, and neighbors to the Lord doesn't come from telling them to change their ways. It comes from following Jesus' command to love others as we love ourselves.

    How can we win over our friends, family, and neighbors to the Lord? It's not by pointing out their faults or telling them how to change their lives. Instead, it's by embodying what Jesus taught us: to love others as we love ourselves. Love is a powerful force that can transform lives. In 1 John ...read more

    We live in an age when it is common for Fathers to desert their wives or children because they get tired of marriage. Some desert their callings because of the sufferings involved seem tougher than they originally conceived.

    Easter 2: Easter makes a difference. It changes cold, hard, self-centered people into a community that cares for one another. It gives boldness to weak hearts. It gives hope to suffering spirits. It provides a perspective.

    Christ is Risen! He is risen, indeed – Alleluia! Life in the time of Jesus was hard – maybe even mean. There are plenty of examples of this. Justice was often quick and oftentimes harsh.

    Beyond The Fear Of Infection Series

    based on 24 ratings
     | 3,386 views

    The courage of solidarity leads us to stand above the fear of infection and touch the other in his suffering and to lift him out of exclusion, loss of relationship and death. Then we become witnesses to the power of God in the world.

    The gospel passage Mark 1.40-45 shows how God relates himself to the human infirmities of body and mind. The story shows the possibility of human suffering under physical and mental infirmities. The story brings us clarity through the two opposing behaviours. God tries to bring healing into such a ...read more

     | 2,188 views

    The paralytic in Mark 2:1-12 had paralysis that was obviously caused by his sin. His suffering and his sin were somehow connected. That is why Jesus enables the paralyzed man to experience healing as forgiveness.

    TEAMWORK IN TRANSIT TO JESUS Text: Mark 2:1-12 Mark 2:1-12  When he returned to Capernaum after some days, it was reported that he was at home.  (2)  So many gathered around that there was no longer room for them, not even in front of the door; and he was speaking the word to ...read more

    Friend, the reason for our mediocre lives, broken homes and debt-drenched lives is because we read more of ‘how to become rich and how to have stress-free life’ rather than the Word of God.

    You are greatly loved! Daniel 9:3 ‘And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes..’ Friend, the reason for our mediocre lives, broken homes and debt-drenched lives is because we read more of ‘how to become rich ...read more

    Isaiah 53 is a chapter all about God’s “Suffering Servant.” In verses 1-2, the Prophet Isaiah reveals to us that this ordinary-looking servant is the arm of the Lord that will bring salvation.

    To be a true disciple of Christ, to be assured of eternal life, we must never be ashamed to confess His holy name. We must also be willing to follow Him always, forsaking our own desires and even our family and friends.

    I have entitled our message, “Jesus Before All Else.” Author Mike Mazzalongo wrote a book entitled Jesus Above All Else. He says that Jesus told His followers, “in no uncertain terms, that in order to be His disciple they must place Him above all else.” He explains that “above all else” means ...read more

    God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to be the Suffering Servant for us. In verse 3, we find He was constantly despised, often rejected, entered into sorrow, experienced grief, and was ignored.

    Heed God's Counsel

    based on 2 ratings
     | 182 views

    God counsels us through His Word, His people and through the promptings of the Holy Spirit. There are important lessons we can learn from Lot’s wife, Cain and Jehoshaphat on the consequences of disobedience to God’s counsel. Implicit obedience to the Lord is the secret to a life of peace.

    The key verse for today’s meditation is taken from Joshua 3:5, “Then Joshua said to the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you.”” (ESV) As Joshua led the people of Israel he admonished them that God was willing to do wonders amongst them, but that in order ...read more

    This sermon from The Exchanged Life perspective attempts to assist the believer in coming to a point of trust in Christ as Savior, Lord and Life through suffering thus ultimately being set free from Self.

    All of us encounter trouble from time to time in our lives. Sometimes the trials and tribulations come as a test. Sometimes they come for the glory of God.
