"God Make Us Good Again"

Contributed by Gerald Roberts on Jan 26, 2017

The message helps us understand God doesn't expect us to be great, but he does expect us to be good by doing justly, loving mercy, and walking humbly.

Four thousand years ago, barrenness was the ultimate disgrace; it was seen as a sign of divine disfavor. If you don’t have children, it’s because God’s got something against you. Period. A woman who couldn’t conceive suffered not only lack of approval, but also the threat of divorce. And barrenness ...read more

Contributed by Oscar Medina on Nov 27, 2016

An overview of Samson's life, emphasizing that his significance was not in the apparent heroic deeds, but in his life as a Judge.

Madalas ka bang may hilingin sa DIYOS? Tayo po ba ay lumalapit lamang sa KANYA kapag may matindi tayong pangangailangan? Gaano ka ba kadalas manalangin sa DIYOS? Ano ba ang ating ATTITUDE pagdating sa pananalangin natin sa DIYOS? Sa kantang "LORD..,Patawad" ni Basilyo, halos lahat tayo ay ...read more

The Great Banquet Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Jul 26, 2012

Jesus launches into a parable about a wedding feast where he is essentially saying that in the kingdom of God the humble are exalted and those who seek to exalt themselves are humbled. It’s an upside down Kingdom from what people are used to. So that’s t

Two weeks ago we looked at the parable of the sower whose main theme was the impact of the world on our hearing and doing of the Word. Last week’s Good Samaritan parable spoke to the fact that real love is action based on compassion. And now this week the main theme is about us realizing our ...read more

The Blessed Ones

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Sep 26, 2013

The first set of four beatitudes focus on our vertical relationship to God, the second set of four on our horizontal relationship to people. Each of the eight builds upon the other so that there is an amazingly beautiful and compelling progression.

Opening illustration: How good are you at making enemies? No, I didn’t ask how good you are at making friends. That’s easy. Just be a good Joe, an easy spender, a tolerant sort of fellow who never offends anybody. But how good are you at making enemies? If you are a child of God and ...read more

Show Some Gratitude, Won't You?

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 6, 2021

The sins and wickedness of thanklessness and ingratitude have infiltrated the lives of everyone and is even found in the church of the Lord Jesus Christ. This has got to stop and we need to repent.

There is a severe shortage of gratitude today, almost to the point of extinction. People are not thankful for favors, gifts, promotions, wealth, family, our homes, our health, or the jobs they have. We now possess the ugly and selfish attitude that we are somehow owed these things, and very few ...read more

Greatness In Serving Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 6, 2021

The disciples had to learn, often the hard way, that following Jesus does not mean favoritism from Him. They had to learn that service towards God and others is to be done with a loving, gracious attitude and not with an ego.

You have to admit that James and John thought a lot about their ability to serve the Lord Jesus. They wanted places of honor in the Kingdom of God without coming to grips with the hardship that follows everyone who gives their lives to Him. The disciples and all who would surrender their lives ...read more

From Humiliation To Honor!

Contributed by Pastor Sam Georgis on Mar 23, 2023

These verses we read, give us the most conspicuous and magnificent of the dogmatic utterances in the New Testament! We see the great sweep of Christ's life from eternity past to eternity future… and we are admitted to the breathtaking purposes of God in our human salvation!

Open your bibles with me to Philippians chapter 2 verses 5-11! Thank you, you may be seated. These verses bring us near to the core of the early Christian faith and early Christian preaching… these verses most certainly are distinctive as they relate to the articles of our Christian Creed, the ...read more
