The Parable Of A Farmer

Contributed by Rev. Duraimony Dickson on Sep 2, 2022

If the word of God is not bearing fruit in your life, you're not studying the word of God; you're not hearing the word of God; you're not receiving the word of God.

Let me ask three questions before we start this message: 1. If the gospel is the power of God—why doesn't everybody that hears the gospel become a Christian? 2. If the Bible is the Word of God—why doesn't the Bible have the same effect on everyone who reads it? 3. If Jesus is the Son of ...read more

God's Comfort Through Knowledge Series

Contributed by Phillip Smith on Feb 4, 2023

Knowledge of God and his kingdom offers comfort to the righteous in all times of pain, sorrow, and suppression by evil beings. Daniel, in captivity, was comforted regularly by knowledge given to 'a man highly esteemed'; Daniel 9:23. Through knowledge, the righteous are comforted today.

In our study of punishment, captivity, protection of saints, and comfort of the righteous in times of captivity, we will see God’s continued comfort in knowledge of His divine plan for mankind unto Daniel. It is safe to assume Daniel shared these bits of knowledge and wisdom with the righteous ...read more

This Is No Time For Sleeping

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Sep 21, 2022

The Christian life is a walk, it's a run, but never forget... it is a fight, and the warfare is real, and we get tired, but we cannot go to sleep. A sleeping saint is a powerless saint and is no threat to the devil.

1 Thessalonians 5:5-9 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. [6] Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. [7] For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken ...read more

Lacking Faith To Lead (Exodus 4)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Aug 7, 2024

Do we have self-doubt instead of faith in God? Let's look at Exodus 4.

Can humility and self-doubt cause us to doubt God? Was God angry with Moses' lack of faith? Do we have doubts about ourselves? Do we trust that God can use an imperfect person such as us? Let's look at Exodus 4. Did Moses doubt that he would be believed? Do we also doubt, afraid to share ...read more
