Sanctified Speech

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 12, 2025

God calls us to be sanctified vessels fit to be used for His greater purposes. One area that we need sanctification is our speech. In a world that thrives on lies and deception, the Lord Jesus challenges us to live a life of integrity and to practice speaking the truth at all times.

The meditation for today is taken from Joshua 3:5, And Joshua said to the people, "Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you." (AFV) There are two phrases that I wish to highlight from the above mentioned verse, the first one being ‘Sanctify yourselves’ and the ...read more

Your God Is Too Small!

Contributed by John Gaston on May 5, 2014

Many Christians are half-hearted because they don’t know the True God. We’re going to see that the True God will incite our wonder, He’ll be a God we feel honored to serve, and that He’s big enough to meet any need we have.

Why Prayer Matters

Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Sep 17, 2012

Prayer matters because it helps us to rely on God’s mercy. Prayer matters because it helps us to confess sin and ask for mercy. Prayer matters because it helps us to see God for who He is. God. And prayer matters because we honor God when we pray.

Romans 11:13-24 Intro: One of the main reasons Paul is writing to the church or ekklesia at Rome (the called out ones who are assembled together for a specific purpose) is to help them resolve some of the tension between the Jews and Gentiles.
