The Spiritual Battle Of Worry

Contributed by Anthony Sosa on Jan 14, 2025

Worry is a battle we all face, but it’s more than just a natural response to life’s uncertainties—it’s a spiritual issue rooted in trust. The good news is that God invites us to hand our worries over to Him, offering peace, freedom, and His unfailing faithfulness in return.

Worry: A Spiritual Battle We All Face Worry is something we’ve all wrestled with at one time or another. Life brings challenges that can feel overwhelming, whether it’s about finances, health, relationships, or the future. But as much as worry feels natural, Scripture shows us that it’s more than ...read more

Love As I Have Loved

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Apr 16, 2025

People don’t naturally love with a 1 Corinthians 13 type love. To love like that, there must be a line of demarcation, a transition from casual to serious, there must be change of heart, you must be Born-Again. Love can transcend these artificial barriers that keep us separated from one another.

Love as I have Loved By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. PRAYER SCRIPTURE: - John 13:31-35 “Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify ...read more

From Endings To Beginnings: Trusting God In Every Season - Psalm 90:12, Proverbs 3:6 Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Dec 19, 2024

On the threshold of a new year, it’s natural to reflect on what has passed and look forward to what lies ahead. This time of transition reminds us of the faithfulness of God—yesterday, today, and forever. Our focus today is on how we, as believers, can honour God as one year ends and another begins.

Accepting Change

Contributed by Troy Borst on Jan 28, 2012

My point is this, change is a natural part of life, but we do not have to accept all change. What changes should we accept? What changes should we go after? What changes should we praise God for when they come? How do we identify those changes that wi

Walking With God Series

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Sep 9, 2009

What are you going to do when stars start falling and nature goes berserk? Do you want things to happen for you to get back to God? It’s time we stop looking for signs but start listening to His voice. Enoch lived in trying times & yet he walked with God.

Reflections for ‘Prepared for the Rapture’: All died except Enoch – by rapturing God was showing the world that if they had not sinned, they would be gone to be with the Lord in the same manner. (Enoch – 7th generation from Adam) (Noah – 10th generation from Adam) **We live in the 7th century or ...read more

Who Was Afraid Of Jesus? Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Feb 9, 2021

Jesus Christ has all authority over both the natural and supernatural world. He brought freedom to a tortured soul, stirred a local crowd into anger, and calmed a raging sea. His ministry brought grace, mercy, love, hope, and for some, fear. Why would anyone fear Him? You would be surprised.

Chapter 4 of Mark's Gospel presented to us the authority that Jesus had over the forces of nature by rebuking a storm on the Sea of Galilee. He and His disciples were in a boat heading to the eastern shore of the Sea when a violent storm erupted, which was a common occurrence according to ...read more

Changing Masters

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Feb 6, 2014

Does it matter if we fight our sinful nature, or give up and give in? If faith is all that matters, why should we bother to live a godly life and listen to God’s commands? Paul’s question is one we also ought to ask ourselves: Who is your master?

Opening illustration: A pastor was teaching a Bible Information Class to a young couple who were brand new Christians. The first lesson was on law and gospel - the two basic messages in Scripture. The pastor explained the law: God desires us to be perfect, but we are sinful and can never reach ...read more

Am I Ready To Do What God Called Me To Do? Series

Contributed by Andrew Chan on Mar 10, 2009

If I had planned it, I would have sent Jet Li who at least knows kung-fu or perhaps someone like Obama with great speech making ability to rally the people, or maybe some freak of nature like the Incredible Hulk, so why weak old burnt-out Moses

Am I ready to do what God called me to do? Ex. 2:1-4:31 Are you ready for God to use you? What me? You are kidding? Yeah you!

Title: The Power Of Gratitude: Remembering To Say Thank You

Contributed by Don Aldrich Tamayo on Jun 25, 2023

Have you ever noticed how saying "thank you" doesn't always come naturally? We see this even in young children who often expect things without appreciating them. As adults, we might struggle with expressing gratitude, especially when it comes to thanking the Lord.

Centuries ago, God wrote His law in stone, and you’re still supposed to keep it today! It’s absolutely true that violating any part of God’s law always brings negative consequences. As crime overruns our cities, doesn’t it make sense that for peace and safety we need to obey the laws of the land? ...read more

The Lord Is Merciful Series

Contributed by Patrick Nix on Jan 5, 2012

God is everything mercy ever hoped to be. He isn't just part mercy - He IS mercy. God has NEVER been unmerciful. It's who God is; mercy is His very nature. Mercy can be simply defined as 'Love in Action' (Eph. 2:4). It is living compassion (Ps. 116:

I must admit that I'm not always the most merciful person in the room (not even close) - so this study had some really convicting things for me to work through. We'll progress through the nature of God's mercy, the actions of His mercy, and our response to mercy - all from Psalm 103. God is ...read more

The Foundation Series

Contributed by Rev. Richard Norman on Jan 10, 2012

We can ask ourselves questions like, “Why do I exist.” With that questioning nature, we must ask at times, “why does the Church Exist?” It is not enough just to say “to glorify God.” While this is true, there is so much more to the question; “What is
