    The Surpassing Grace Of God Series

    based on 7 ratings
     | 18,447 views

    God abundantly supplies so that we having been blessed can in turn bless others which results in everyone blessing God. The grace of Christian giving pours the blessings of God on all involved, the giver, the recipient, those concerned, & God.

    2 CORINTHIANS 9: 8-15 [GAINING PERSPECTIVE Series] THE SURPASSING GRACE OF GOD [Psalms 112] Christian giving always rebounds with multiplied blessings for the giver. But not only is the giver blessed, the recipient is also. With so many unselfish blessings flowing around, thankfulness and glory ...read more

    The Sacrifices God Is Pleased With Series

    Contributed by Isaiah Banjo on Nov 30, 2020
     | 7,384 views

    It is “through Jesus” that your sacrifices can be acceptable. Anything short of that is totally unacceptable. The only person God told that he is pleased with was Jesus. When a man does not listen to Jesus, such a man cannot please God.

    Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of Praise – the fruit of lips that confess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices, God is pleased. (NIV) Hebrews 13:15-16 Quite a lot to identify in this scripture. 1. The ...read more

    Your Mistakes, God's Victories Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,859 views

    Do you ever feel like you are damaged goods and God can’t use you because of your sin and weakness? That may actually be a sly plot of the devil, but God is great about turning your mistakes in His victory as He did for Joshua.

    If you are Joshua, what do you do? Here you’ve come out of the starting gate, primed by God’s miracle in the river crossing, pumped by God’s miraculous defeat at Jericho-then your bubble is popped big time by the fact that you showed some arrogance in thinking you were invincible. Sin entered into ...read more

    We come to know God through service.

    This morning is the third message in our five-part series on Seeking God.

    How much do we appreciate God for His grace? Do we rejoice in it, as John Newton did and he was even inspired to make the song, “Amazing Grace”?

    “As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,064 views

    As God Word increased, the church in the book of Acts increased.

    Careful examination of the New Testament church depicts a vibrant, sustenant, and growing body, whose strength can largely be contributed to the powerful preaching of the apostolic message. This preaching, though basic in theme, was the solid foundation upon which Christ built His church. ...read more

    Christmas Glory – Short Meditation For Christmas Series

     | 216 views

    This short meditation considers no room in the inn, but also looks at the scene of Christ's birth in Bethlehem. We all have to make a response based on our acceptance or rejection of Christ's birth when He came into this world.

    CHRISTMAS GLORY – SHORT MEDITATION FOR CHRISTMAS Let us begin with a little poem. This is an acrostic poem with Bethlehem the theme. [C]. Christ was born in Bethlehem one starry summer night; [H]. Huddled in a manger’s space with animals in sight. [R]. Rejects from a comfort inn, they were ...read more
