    Perhaps you've been lucky and haven’t had to endure a lot of life’s common trials and tribulations. If so, “persevering or perseverance” might not resonate much with you?

    Perseverance Perseverance means various things to different people at different stages of their lives. Let's rethink some of the situations we encountered where we demonstrated tenacious determination before we discuss biblical characters that displayed exceptional perseverance. What does the ...read more

    Worshipping God, privately and publically, draws us closer to Him and strengthens our relationship with Him

    This ladies and gentlemen is a picture of a paradoxical frog. It is native to the eastern parts of South America. And what makes it a paradox is the fact that while a full-grown specimen is about 7.5 cm in length, when it’s a tadpole it can reach up to 25 cm in length. It literally is four times ...read more

    7 Things The Cross Of Calvary Provided For Us

    Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Oct 31, 2022
     | 6,798 views

    Understand the cross does not refer to an ornament hanging around your neck. It is not an emblem seen on a church steeple. It is not the crucifix with some portrayal of Jesus on it. It doesn’t indicate that you are a Christian nor does it guarantee that you are on your way to heaven.

    7 Things the Cross of Calvary provided for us By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - I don’t normally wear a cross but several years ago when I was pastoring in Columbus, I had real nice cross that was part of my installation as pastor dress. I wore that cross on one Sunday and I had this ...read more

    Jesus heals a man with a withered hand and upsets the religious leaders.

    Hardened Hearts Grieve the Lord Mark 3:1-12 Good Morning, In 2015, the Washington post reported that roughly 22 million Americans, which is 8.9 percent of the adult population, have impulsive anger issues.

    When Worship Becomes Empty Words PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 119 views

    The sermon urges us to approach God with reverence, listen before speaking, and honor our promises, trusting that God shapes the world through prayerful hearts.

    There’s a hush that falls on the heart when we remember who God is. The ancient preacher of Ecclesiastes takes us by the hand and leads us into that hush. He knows about rushed mornings and restless nights. He knows about hurried hands and harried hearts. And he whispers a needed word to weary ...read more

    The sermon invites us to move beyond surface knowledge, accepting God’s personal invitation to find true fulfillment, nourishment, and life in relationship with Him.

    Some of you walked in today with a full calendar and an empty heart. Some came carrying quiet questions that whisper in the night. Others arrived with hope flickering like a candle in a drafty room. Friend, you’re in the right place. Today, Scripture opens the door to a warm kitchen where Wisdom ...read more

    God invites us to move forward with Him, leaving the past behind and focusing on Christ, trusting His presence and grace for every step.

    There’s a reason your heart quickens whenever you sense a fresh start. New mercies. New morning. New possibilities. Like a runner at the starting line, leaning forward, muscles ready, eyes fixed—something inside you says, "There’s more ahead." You were made for forward motion with Christ. You were ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 96 views

    God uses our small offerings, given in faith and compassion, to meet the needs of others and multiply blessings beyond what we imagine.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile that took a lot of effort. Bills stare back, bodies ache, and a stack of needs feels taller than our energy. Maybe you’re a parent counting pennies at the grocery store, a grandparent worrying over a prodigal, or a student standing at the edge of a new season ...read more

    The sermon urges believers to intentionally focus their thoughts on Christ above, allowing Him to shape their minds, emotions, and daily lives.

    Church family, welcome. Some weeks feel like a whirlwind, don’t they? Schedules stack, screens shout, and our minds ping from worry to what’s next. And in the middle of the noise, God gives us a gracious, clear instruction: lift your thoughts. Aim higher than the headlines. Aim higher than your ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 307 views

    Trusting God means obeying Him even when the path is unclear; true faith is shown through daily, courageous steps of obedience rooted in His promises.

    Some mornings feel like a fog has rolled in and parked on the path right in front of you. You can see your feet, maybe the next step, yet the road ahead stays hidden. Bills stack up, doctors call back, kids cry, doors close, and the heart whispers, “Lord, what do I do now?” In moments like these, ...read more

     | 83 views

    The sermon urges us to love God wholeheartedly and express that love through everyday acts of kindness and care for those around us.

    Some words from Jesus land in the heart like a familiar melody. They hum along in the background while you’re packing lunches, paying bills, or waiting at a red light. They are simple enough for a child to recite and strong enough to hold up a life. Mark 12:30-31 is like that. It meets us at the ...read more

     | 130 views

    Christ meets us in our weakness, supplying strength and love so we can persevere, serve others, and experience true courage in everyday life.

    Some of us walked in with smiles; some of us walked in with sighs. Schedules feel heavy. Headlines howl. Bills pile, plates spin, and sleep sneaks away. You’ve tried to be strong for your people, and the strength ran thin. You’ve tried to be brave for your heart, and the courage felt small. If ...read more

    Jesus gives pastors as a loving gift to His church, calling us to honor, support, and pray for them as they shepherd and serve us.

    Some of the greatest gifts Jesus gives to His church have names and faces, coffee-stained sermon notes, calloused knees, and tender hearts. They stand at hospital bedsides, whisper prayers in empty sanctuaries, answer phone calls after midnight, and show up again on Sunday with a smile that says, ...read more

     | 207 views

    Gratitude transforms our lives; when we return to thank Jesus for His mercy, we experience deeper wholeness and the richness only gratitude can bring.

    Some of the most powerful moments in Scripture begin with a simple cry for help. Think about it: a whisper becomes a waterfall, a sigh becomes a song. When weary people raise faint voices to heaven, heaven hears. In Luke 17, ten tired men lifted ten shaky prayers. They were outcasts, pushed to the ...read more
