    Jesus Delivers His Church

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Jan 28, 2021
     | 3,828 views

    In his church, the Lord Jesus is still doing the good work that He has begun, and He is doing it unstoppably.

    Beloved in Christ, I’d be worried if the church was a human effort. If it was up to us alone to defend the church, maintain her unity, or increase her numbers, we’d have reason to be concerned. For the church would certainly follow the path of so many man-made clubs and societies—for a while strong ...read more

    We must boldly proclaim Jesus even if we suffer for it. And when we do suffer, we need to take joy that the Lord has counted us worthy to suffer for Him.

    Counted Worthy to Suffer Shame Acts 5:33-42 As we continue our study in the Book of Acts, let us review some things we have already learned. First of all we remember that the mission of the church is to continue what Jesus began to do and teach (Acts 1:1). Acts 1:8 defines the outward spiral of ...read more

    Opening illustration: Christian villagers in a rural district of India’s Maharashtra state have been told that one church will be closed down every week because they have been “destroying” local tradition and culture by “luring” others to convert to Christianity. Some Christians have also been told ...read more

    Acts 5:17-42 shows us different responses to the gospel, responses that we still see today.

    Persecution And Evangelism Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 17, 2025
     | 180 views

    Persecution is not a sign of defeat but a confirmation that we are on the right path. When we face opposition in evangelism, we must not be discouraged but rejoice, knowing that we are partaking in Christ’s sufferings. The gospel is unstoppable, and no amount of persecution can hinder God’s plan.

    PERSECUTION AND EVANGELISM By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Matthew 5:11-12 "Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
