Contributed by Paul Clemente on May 3, 2021

Fighting the good fight of faith is not about defeating someone but serving the Lord Jesus Christ as a soldier in a spiritual battle!

When you have friends over for dinner, what are the 2 topics you’re not suppose to bring up? Unless you’re looking for a fight, it is not a good idea to bring up politics or religion while you’re having dinner with friends; and those fights many times ruin relationships!

No One Can Run Away From God Series

Contributed by Paul Clemente on Aug 19, 2015

sooner or later, a person will pay the consequences of sinning against God!

The Cost Of Civil War Series

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Aug 30, 2025

Civil war among God’s people always comes at a terrible cost. Even when the cause seems justified, division within the household of faith leads to destruction, grief, and the weakening of God’s people before their enemies. Unity brings victory, but internal strife brings devastation.

THE COST OF CIVIL WAR By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Judges 20 Key Verses: Judges 20:18–21 "And the children of Israel arose, and went up to the house of God, and asked counsel of God, and said, Which of us shall go up first to the battle against the children of Benjamin?

Black And White Morality--Absolutely!

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 12, 2025

Jeremiah knew what God wanted for them, but they continually rebelled.

Sixth Sunday in Course 2025 It’s likely that if you were educated, as I was, mostly in the 1960s or later, you might have bristled a bit at today’s Scripture passages. They have moral language that is very much black-and-white. If you trust in God and follow His way, you’ll bear much fruit; if you ...read more

Battle In The Desert

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 3, 2025

Our exemplar in spiritual warfare is Jesus Christ

First Sunday of Lent 2025 Our Lord Jesus Christ was the Son of God. But He was, in human eyes, first the Son of Joseph and Mary, and since Joseph was a descendant of King David, their greatest king, Jesus was also called “Son of David.” That was important in Jewish eyes back in the first century, ...read more

Who Is The Good Samaritan? Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 8, 2025

"Moved with compassion" is a pretty weak translation of what the Samaritan felt when he saw the mugged man on the side of the road.

Fifteenth Sunday in Course 2025 Many humans, maybe even most of us, call God the Supreme Being. That stimulates the imagination. But we can imagine Zeus, who doesn’t exist, as a supreme, or at least very, very big being. But the true God is not the Supreme Being. God is not A Being at all. God is ...read more

The Truth About Salvation, Part 4 Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Nov 3, 2025

When challenged, John the Baptist does not fall into the trap of responding from “ego”, rather, he simply testifies to what is true and lets it speak for itself! This is our calling today, and what we must model also.

It's The End Of The World As We Know It - And I Feel Fine

Contributed by Ryan Ferwerda on Nov 9, 2025

What if we are actually at the beginning of the end of the world as we know it? The Apostle Paul echos the words of Jesus addressing this question in his second letter to the faithful Christians in Thessalonica.

Breaking News: “Sudan’s civil war rages despite U.S. peace push, as explosions heard near capital.” This Just In: “Israel offers glimpse inside Gaza, where destruction and uncertainty linger.” New this Hour: “Zelenskyy and his European backers plot steps to up pressure on Putin.” In the ...read more

Complacency And The Path To Perdition

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 24, 2025

This may make you squirm a bit. But remember that the prophets had two missions: to comfort the afflicted and to afflict the comfortable.
