Spirit Of The Law Part 1

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Nov 27, 2023

Who better to give a commentary on the Old Testament than it's author, Jesus? Let's look at the Spirit of the law in Matthew 5.

The best commentary on the Old Testament is by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount. In each case we learn several things, 1) the Spirit of the law, 2) our utter failure to live up to it, and 3) our need for forgiveness and mercy. Let’s begin to understand the intent of the law by its author. Let’s ...read more

The Power Of Forgiveness By Pst. Joseph Ondu

Contributed by Joseph Ondu on May 2, 2024

The Light Has Come - Christmas Sermon - By Pst. Joseph Ondu

Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Dec 12, 2024

In a world filled with darkness—war, injustice, loneliness, and despair—the light of Christ is desperately needed. Christmas is not just a celebration of His birth but a reminder of our mission to carry His light into every corner of the world.
