    In one of the most stressful times of Jesus' life, He heard a single voice cry out for mercy. And He stood still.

    There is a church in downtown Washington, DC, right in an area where there are a lot of street people. Almost every Sunday, a few of them would come into the church and sit in the back pews and watch the service. They are scary people, because they are toothless and dirty and they have not bathed ...read more

    I read this week in fact that it is possible that up to 80% of those who are currently hospitalized have a stress related illnesses. 80%.

    “Get out of jail, Free” Matthew 6:1-18 Medical science has been telling us now for years that there is a very close relationship between physical illness and stress. That shouldn’t be hard for us to believe since when you go through a time of extended stress and difficulty, many times we become ...read more

    Wake Up And Depart!

    Contributed by Terry Hovey on Jun 10, 2023
     | 1,894 views

    Throughout the Bible, the word of God stresses the importance of turning away from sin and wickedness and surrendering our lives to our Lord.

    Wake Up and Depart! Isaiah 52:1-12 The prophet Isaiah’s ministry spanned the reigns of 4 Judean kings. He was called to prophetic ministry in the year that king Uzziah died, approximately 742 BC, and then continued through the reigns of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah until 686 BC, approximately 56 ...read more

    The Persistent March To The Cross (In March)

    Contributed by Jim Brown on Mar 6, 2026
     | 339 views

    To me, Easter (Christian Death/Burial/Resurrection holiday, not pagan one) is greater than Christmas because Easter is the Climax, whereas Christmas is merely the start of the persistent march to that Climax and reason for His coming.

    The Persistent March to the Cross (In March) Special: Had it Not been (Michael English version) March fourth was just a few days ago! MARCH FOURTH! Like a very commanding day to march forth! Easter is coming soon. It’s just about a month away now. To me Easter (not the pagan holiday but ...read more

    Our society has hijacked Christmas from all of us over the years turning it into one of the biggest commercial events ever. We have to stop this attack on our sacred holiday and tell the world sorry – Christmas is about The Prince of Peace.

    The Prince of Peace Isaiah 9:7 KJV Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever.

    Dealing With Depression And Mental Health Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jun 30, 2025
     | 515 views

    Depression and mental battles are not foreign to Scripture or to God. He cares, He listens, and He heals. The Church must be a place of restoration, where the emotionally broken are embraced and helped, not judged.

    DEALING WITH DEPRESSION AND MENTAL HEALTH By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Psalm 34:17-19 Supporting Texts: Philippians 4:6-7, 1 Kings 19:4-8, Isaiah 41:10, John 14:27, 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 INTRODUCTION: Depression and mental health struggles are real and rising, even among believers.

    Is There No Room For Christ At Christmas?

    Contributed by Ted Sutherland on Dec 13, 2005
    based on 16 ratings
     | 7,133 views

    Christ has been banned from government, kicked out of school, blacked out of the media, but to be replaced by an “X” on His own holiday does not seem appropriate.

    Christ has been banned from government, kicked out of school, blacked out of the media, but to be replaced by an “X” on His own holiday does not seem appropriate. Centuries ago, “X” was placed before “mas”, “X” being symbolic of the Greek letter “CHRI” which is the initial for Christos in the ...read more

    I Predict You’re Going To Die Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 9, 2011
    based on 68 ratings
     | 36,484 views

    God doesn’t want us to know WHEN we’re going to die, but He stresses the fact that one day we shall (if Jesus doesn’t return first). Why does God want us to face the reality of our own mortality? Why stress that we will all die?

    OPEN: A woman once told of driving with her two young boys to a funeral. She said: “I tried to prepare them by talking about burial and what we believe happens after death. The boys behaved well during the service. But at the gravesite, I discovered my explanations weren’t as thorough as I’d ...read more
