    In a world filled with distractions, challenges, and uncertainties, it is crucial that we remain steadfast in our faith.

    Ephesians 6:10-18 (KJV) Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the ...read more

    Understanding the gates of Life points out the significance of openings. Just as you have to be careful of those who come into you home, you must guard against what you watch, read or listen to if you do not want to introduce spirits of sin into your life

    By Bode Ayodele Gates and doors are very significant in the life of human beings. A city without a gate is open to various unwanted things and personalities. Just as in the physical, there are also spiritual gates and doors. Throughout the bible, roles played by gates, provide an important ...read more

    Corinth is a church with great resources, both material and spiritual, but it’s also a church with great responsibilities. It needs to recognise that it’s part of a world wide church and express that membership materially. And it needs to be on guard agai

    We tend to think of the world today as shrinking, getting smaller and smaller. For example, last week, Di and I boarded a plane in Melbourne and 2 hours later we were throwing off our jumpers and getting ready for a swim in the pool at Noosa. You can get on a plane this afternoon and by tomorrow ...read more

    Do you know what it feels like to have the peace of God guarding your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus? Do you know that you have been accepted into God’s family?

    THE Good News of the Gospel Let me start with a question: Do you enjoy hearing bad news? I assume this morning that there is one thing we all have in common - we all want to hear good news. We want to be encouraged. Wouldn’t it be nice to hear something good for a change on the evening ...read more

     | 6,655 views

    Jesus has completely surrendered Himself to these guards; He signifies that He is their substitute. We must take a moment to grasp this: He places Himself in front of them (and us) to protect them from the danger.

    The Arrest of Jesus John 18:1-14 Following Jesus’s prayer in the garden, the events unfold quickly (setup for Sun) Re: This is at night, following Passover supper; after time spent in prayer ∆ Jesus Identifies and Surrenders In the garden, where a powerful time of prayer is ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,232 views

    As servants of the Lord we need to be on constant watchful guard against the subtle ways the enemy uses to divert us from God's purpose and to nullify any effectiveness we may have had in influencing others for God.

    And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south. And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and ...read more

    The 1611 King James Bible is based on the Masoretic Old Testament manuscripts, guarded and handed down by the Hebrew Scholars, and the Received Text (known as the Textus Receptus, or Byzantine Greek text) preserved by God through Godly men.

    PSALMS 119:89 THE 1611 KJ BIBLE VERSES THE PERVERSIONS 2-26-11 I just wonder how many of us have thought about the fact that this year “2011” marks the 400th Anniversary of the 1611 King James Bible, the King James Bible is based on the Masoretic Old Testament manuscripts, ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,948 views

    It’s through the peace of God that our hearts and minds are guarded from anxiety and worry. When we pursue a conscious rejection of all that is not consistent with the mind of Christ, we begin to experience more exalted thoughts.

    A Desire for Unity "Therefore, my brothers, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm thus in the Lord, my beloved. I entreat Euodia and I entreat Syntyche to agree in the Lord.

     | 6,995 views

    Our world is a place which causes much anxiety but Paul equips us with a response – it is a call to learn to pray properly. As we pray we will know a peace which is superior to anxiety and our hearts will be guarded and prepared.

     | 617 views

    If you want to keep from being deceived, follow only a leader, who, like a father, jealously guards your pure devotion to Christ, generously cares for you, and genuinely shows you his true self.

    Pastor John Ortberg asks us to imagine picking your car up from the shop after a routine tune-up, and the technician says, “This car is in great shape.

    "watchful Living In A World Of Wheat And Tares" By Pastor Joseph Ondu

    Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Oct 6, 2024
     | 957 views

    This brings us to a crucial point: “while everyone was sleeping.” The enemy sowed the tares while the people were unaware. This suggests a lack of vigilance, a spiritual sleepiness. How often do we let our guard down?

    "Watchful Living in a World of Wheat and Tares" Scripture Reading: Matthew 13:24-30 “Jesus told them another parable: ‘The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. ...read more

    Turn On The Light In The Room Of Gloom

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 1, 2025
     | 89 views

    The whole process would be like turning on a light. And I don’t mean a little candle, but a big flood. If you stumble around in a dark room, you move slowly, hesitantly, and you are guarding against a fall.

    Friday of the First Week of Advent 2025 When we hear or read Biblical prophecy, our Western mindset frequently gets confused by the language used. The prophet Isaiah today especially needs to be read with understanding of the form being used. The critical little snippet that is the key to the ...read more

    “Weak in the knees” means to become so nervous or powerfully affected that it is difficult to stand. When sorrow grips your heart, and sadness weighs you down are you able to do as the Bible says having done all to stand – stand.

    Standing Strong in Perilous Times By Bishop Melvin L, Maughmer Jr. OPENING: - The phrase “Weak in the knees” means to become so nervous or powerfully affected that it is difficult to stand.

     | 27,467 views

    How we relate to God affects how we relate to others: Because Cain didn't have a right relationship with God, his relationship with his brother Abel was not right either.

    For a number of years, one of my favorite TV shows was "Murder, She Wrote" with Angela Lansbury.

    A look at the religious groups of Jesus day and how they were affected by their culture (as might be): 1. Zealots 2.Phariasees 3. Saduccees 4. Scribes 5. Herodians 6. Essenes

    How would you like it if someone spit on you? In our cultural setting it would be a sign of disrespect, an attempt to shame and humiliate a person. But for some cultures, it has an entirely different meaning. I am reading a wonderful book entitled Christianity Rediscovered. It is written by a ...read more
