If we can be sensitive to the Spirit, and see how our job is a mission and a service for Christ, we could do it with greater joy and love.

George Burns said, "There will always be a battle between the sexes because men and women want different things. Men want women and women want men." This is, of course, what God intended, but like all good things that are carried to excess this too becomes an area of life where the ...read more

Which Shepherd Are You Choosing? (Pt. 2) Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 19, 2022

This exposition of Zechariah 11:7-17 examines Zechariah's prediction of Christ's rejection at his First Advent and the consequences of that rejection. The timeless truth taught is: when the leadership God sends is rejected, the judgment that follows is bad leadership.

Intro We concluded last week with God instructing Zechariah to take on the role of a shepherd. Follow with me as we read Zechariah 11:4. “This is what the Lord my God says: ‘Shepherd the flock marked for slaughter.”i That is the assignment God gives Zechariah. He is to represent the Lord as a good ...read more

The Devil Made Me Do It! Series

Contributed by Dennis King on Nov 1, 2022

Can Christians willingly or unwillingly host demons inside our bodies? What do you think?

Fruit And Flesh

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Nov 27, 2022

Are we living by the Holy Spirit's power, or are we living by the control of the flesh?

We all have sinful desires (flesh), but in order to follow the Holy Spirit, we must deal with these issues. We cannot ignore them. The spontaneous works of the Holy Spirit is fruit.

Ok God, What Do You Want From Me?

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Sep 20, 2025

Good Morning. This morning, we have 2 excellent lessons intended to guide God’s people back on track from bad mindsets. Micah 6 begins in a heavenly courtroom.

The Fruit Of The Spirit

Contributed by Efe Oluwatosin on Feb 15, 2025

The fruit of the Spirit, as described in the Bible, encompasses a set of virtues that reflect the character of God and are cultivated in believers through the Holy Spirit. These virtues include love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

Let's look at these virtues in-depth to determine how to cultivate them. Love is a commandment. John15:12 NKJV "This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you." Christians are to love people the way Jesus loves us, not necessarily as they love us. Christians ...read more
