    Where Dwellest Thou?

    Contributed by Victor Ramlall on Jan 20, 2014
     | 5,849 views

     | 73 views

    Relying on the Holy Spirit’s power, not our own efforts, keeps our focus on Christ and sustains us daily by God’s grace.

    If you’ve ever started your morning with grand intentions and then tripped over your own shoelaces by lunch, you’re in good company. We set the coffee, open the calendar, whisper a prayer, and head out the door with a heart set on Jesus. Then the rush hits. Emails multiply. Expectations pile high. ...read more

     | 127 views

    Mandate speaks of divine authority, purpose, and assignment. Without God’s mandate, efforts to address spiritual, moral, or societal problems remain powerless.

    This sermon show how Abraham, David, and all believers are made right in the sight of God based on their faith apart from any efforts of their own

    The question of the ages is "How can sinful man be made right in the sight of a Holy God?" Can we work for it ? Ro. Ch 1-3 show that all are sinful.

    Stones In The Road

    Contributed by Robert Henrich on Mar 19, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,158 views

    The ’stones’ on the gospel road – those difficult verses we stumble over or just pass by – are treasures if we take the time to stop and pick them up; two such ‘stones’ in the story of the raising of Lazarus speak of the intensity of Jesus’ love for us.

    I had to take my car into the shop in Binghamton last week, and I had a lot of time to kill. The waiting room didn’t look very inviting, so I decided to do something I haven’t done in a long time: I took a walk.

    Speaking The Truth In Love - Loving The Immoral Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 17, 2013
     | 4,052 views

    We love immoral people by holding on to what we believe and sympathizing with the weaknesses of others because we know what our weaknesses are.

    Jesus says the most important command of God for us to obey is this, “To love God with all our heart, soul, strength and mind and to love others.” So for the last few weeks we’ve taken some time to define what this kind of love is. We can summarize our last few lessons this way, ...read more

     | 8,732 views

    Many times, we get hurt and we wanted to take revenge. But God reminds us through the story of Joseph that we have been placed by God in that position of authority for a greater purpose and that we must always manifest a humble heart.

    THE TEST OF POWER AND AUTHORITY Last week, we talked about the promotion of Joseph to the second highest in command of Egypt. He had been lifted up from the dark dungeon of despair to the palace of great responsibility, authority and power. It was a long process of waiting patiently and ...read more

    Nothing is too hard for God!

    My understanding is that Islamics and even some groups who use the term Christian have a problem with Jesus being the Son of God. After all, one means one how can God have a Son? While I understand that the doctrine of the Trinity or Tri-unity of God is hard for the human mind to grasp, it is ...read more

    The Tail Of Two Kingdoms

    Contributed by Andy Payne on Jan 16, 2010
