    Greet No One On The Way

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Mar 8, 2023
     | 1,789 views

    Time was short and we couldn’t afford greetings, this is what Jesus meant as greet no one on the way…..

    Greet no one on the way… Luke 10:4 “Carry no money belt, no bag, no shoes; and greet no one on the way.” The words of Jesus ‘greet no one on the way’ kind of intrigued me, so I set off thinking… I would like to start off by sharing my testimony, which God reminded me that I did myself, even ...read more

    Jacob's Ladder Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Apr 13, 2022
     | 4,842 views

    Jacob the selfish man, whose life without God led him to desperation, reached a point where he needed the Lord. Often that is when God breaks through to a person. God spoke to Jacob through a dream. We call that dream, Jacob’s ladder.

    As believers in Jesus Christ, we are called to be different. This difference can be seen very distinctly when we have a proper attitude in our giving to God. A generous spirit in giving is stark contrast in a selfish me first world. Jacob has an experience with God and he is changed. His name ...read more

    Job was faithful to God, even when he lost absolutely everything that had been important to him. This legend concerns Job, a prosperous man of outstanding piety. Satan acts as an agent provocateur to test whether or not Job's piety is rooted merely in his prosperity.

    Either Jesus is who He said He is – or He is a liar … He cannot be both. We come to church today (of all days) to celebrate where our hope comes from; but we must see/admit our need for a Savior.

    Why was Abram’s name changed to Abraham? Why is he called father Abraham? Let’s look at Genesis 12-25 and the life of a patriarch of our faith.

    A study of the patriarchs and matriarchs reveals that they were very imperfect people, but blessed by God because of faith. This should be an encouragement to us who are likewise very imperfect, but trust in God. Why was Abram’s name changed to Abraham? Why is he called father Abraham? Let’s look ...read more
