This Is How I Fight My Battles!

Contributed by Delray Lentz on Dec 17, 2024

Last week I challenged you to consider how you prepare yourself for worship before you enter the Lord’s house and His presence. Crystal closed out the message with a prayer that we worship everyday, not just on Sunday’s!

Today’s word is about worship. I looked back at all my sermons since 2020 and strangely enough, not a single one was on the topic of worship. So I am rectifying that today! The title of today’s message is “This is how I fight my battles”. We will examine 4 passages, 3 of which are centered around ...read more

Taking God At His Word

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Sep 2, 2023

There is only one thing we can believe without hesitation - God's Word. This message is about how the testimony of my brother at his burial reminded everyone of this truth.

In John 17:16, Jesus says of His disciples "They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.” It reminded me of a song we sang years ago in church. ¶ This world is not my home. I'm just passing through. My treasures are laid up, somewhere beyond the blue. The angels beckon ...read more

Jesus Comes To His Temple Series

Contributed by John Murphy on Mar 27, 2010

Only Jesus could sit with the most educated men in Israel and astound them.

Obedience: The Evidence Of His Love

Contributed by Bishop Prof. Julius Soyinka on Mar 6, 2017

Obedience which does not proceed from genuine love to Christ has no reality in it; it is not the genuine offspring of the heart, the real act of the soul. It lacks the essential motive and inspiration of all Christian deeds.

Three motives for obedience exist: We can obey because we have to; we can obey because we need to; or we can obey because we want to. - A slave obeys because ...read more
