Discerning The Spirits

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Nov 29, 2012

Never swallow someone’s line just because he uses terms of the Christian faith. False teachers are popular with the world because they tell people what they want to hear. Here John warns the Christians who faithfully teach God’s Word will not win any popu

OPENING ILLUSTRATION: In an unethical selling technique called the bait-and-switch method, a retailer lures customers into his store by advertising a well-known product at a very low price. When the buyer asks to purchase it, however, he is told that it is out of stock. The salesperson then tries ...read more

Trust The Ways Of God And Not My Ways Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jul 8, 2013

Sometimes we falsely believe that because we belong to God we can do no wrong and God must bless everything we do. What we must realize is that as we move in concert with how God wants us to move that things will line up for His glory.

The three psalms we are looking at today have this theme in common: love God, be linked to God, let God set the agenda. Psalm 89 finishes off Book III of the psalter. It is a wonderful restatement of God’s promises to David about the Messiah, but then ends with somewhat of a repudiation of ...read more

Freedom From Generational Curses

Contributed by James Dina on Jan 24, 2021

Why would God want you to confess the sins of your father or mother when you had nothing to do with their sins in the first place? He wants you to know the severity of their sins. A generational curse comes through the blood line and can only be cancelled by the blood of Jesus.

FREEDOM FROM GENERATIONAL CURSES “Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and upon the children’s children, unto the third and to the fourth generation” (Exodus ...read more

I Am Faithful Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Apr 25, 2021

Although the Psalmist Ethan finds no resolution to the tension between God’s promise and God’s delay in fulfilling His promises in Psalm 89, we know that God DID indeed fulfill His promise to David don’t we? The line of David did not end in the exile.

I make promises all the time … and I always intend on keeping them every time I make them. But you know what? I don’t always keep them … not all of them … try as hard as I might. I’m going to let you down sometimes … disappoint you .. if I haven’t already. The one promise that I will always ...read more

Message 16 - 1 Thessalonians Chapter 5:21 – Examine Carefully And Hold Fast To What Is Good – No Excuses! Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 7, 2023

We live in a world today where all the boundaries have been blurred and are increasingly, becoming blurred. We have no fixed point for marriage, no correct lines for morality, no division of good or bad in gender or behaviour or attitudes. We examine what GOOD is. Do good to all.

Righteous Joseph Series

Contributed by Shine Thomas on Dec 1, 2023

People often neglect righteous Joseph while focussing on the theme of Christmas. But do you know there is a man who stands silently next to the manger in the nativity scene? He is not even given a single line to speak! Then he disappears completely from history after the teenage years of Jesus.

INTRODUCTION There is a story of courage that took place in the very first Christmas. It is about righteous Joseph. But it is a story we often miss because people’s Christmas focus is mostly around a young mother Mary and her son, Jesus. People often neglect righteous Joseph while focussing on the ...read more

What Does It Take To Be A Godly Man

Contributed by John Lowe on May 21, 2014

I want to speak about godly men today, because we live in an age, when it is difficult to identify what a godly man should be like. So much of what we are told by the media, about “good” men, doesn't line up with the Word of God.
