    Death Of A Nation

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 16, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 10,456 views

    When God says, "Enough!" how shall His people respond? The response of God's people to the sinful drift of our nation should lead us to grieve for our fellow man and plead with them to turn to Christ and His righteousness.

    “Righteous are you, O LORD, when I complain to you; yet I would plead my case before you. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why do all who are treacherous thrive? You plant them, and they take root; they grow and produce fruit; you are near in their mouth and far from their heart. ...read more

     | 5,030 views

    The Church of The Nazarene is a denomination which believes that a person can live a holy life through the indwelling, transformational power of the Holy Spirit. Is that true or must we live in slavery to sin until we cross into glory?

    Holiness - and The carnal Christian Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Matthew 5:3-5 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the ...read more

    Finding Peace In Christ--From Walls To Temple Halls

    Contributed by Daniel Devilder on Oct 19, 2006
     | 2,814 views

    Most strikingly we are called to remember the walls of Hostility between God/man and man/man, and how in Christ we find peace, as he tears down the walls, building us up instead into a holy temple where he dwells. Our "remembering" provides the motivatio

    The Sermon was preceded by the prayer of a “broken man” expressing his thankfulness for all the Lord had done for him. It was a prayer prayed in light of what Ephesians was teaching us about all the blessings from God in Christ, from the abundance of the Lord’s riches. There are some things I/we ...read more

    Love Is Not Rude!

    Contributed by Melvin Newland on Sep 18, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 12,241 views

    This characteristic of love appears to be rather out-of-date. I mean, we are living in a world that is torn apart by all kinds of hatreds, national conflicts, racial strife, class warfare, & even religious hostility. Yet Paul says, "Love is not rude."

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK TEXT: 1 Corinthians 13:4-8; Luke 7:36-50 A. As most of you realize, during the last 2 weeks I have based my messages on Paul's description of love found in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a ...read more

    The Contention Is Over

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Apr 24, 2025
     | 397 views

    Your season of contention is giving way to a season of fruitfulness. Like Isaac, you may have faced opposition, envy, and rejection, but keep digging. Don’t settle at Esek (strife) or Sitnah (hostility). God is leading you to Rehoboth—a place of peace, purpose, and prosperity.

    THE CONTENTION IS OVER By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Genesis 26:18-22 "And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the ...read more

    Do you know? The average christian loves peace. Most Christians pre-occupy themselves with seeking and pursuing peace. Nobody wants conflicts and hostilities. Most of us we like to go through a whole year without a single attack.. smile! That is a Dream that will never come to pass.

     | 11,350 views

    The sorrow we experience as we witness the devolution of culture creates a longing for Heaven and for Christ.

    “I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, ...read more

    1 of 1. The prophet Isaiah noted an 'environment' in Israel, where an absence of God’s righteous people went unnoticed. The absence of God’s righteous people can go unnoticed by secular society. When/Why/How does an absence of God’s righteous go unnoticed?
