Job 1

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Aug 29, 2019

Job 1: Job's first test. Do we devote ourselves to God because He gives us blessings, or does He give us blessings because we devote ourselves to Him?

Let’s take a look at the book of JOB today and see if there is anything we might be able to ...read more

Have You Forgotten To Be Grateful? Series

Contributed by Alis Cerrahyan on Jun 23, 2019

As citizens of heaven; we already know this is not the right territory for us. We are simply passing through. And if we are able to lead a few others along the way; God will continue to provide all that we need for our leadership.

If we have been lucky enough to get up and dust ourselves off; ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 8, 2022

Having things in common is often a major part of the initial attraction in selecting a mate for life.

Don’t let this shock you, but some anthropologists tell us that at an unconscious level we even go so far as to choose partners who look like us. There must be some truth to that, because look at: (Humor…select a couple that everyone knows) Some may doubt the conclusions of the anthropologists, ...read more

A Lazy Man’s Vineyard

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Jun 12, 2020

A little laziness would ruin a great harvest. It is time for us to be busy for Christ and reap a mighty harvest.

I went by the field of the lazy man, And by the vineyard of the man devoid of understanding; And there it was, all overgrown with thorns; Its surface was covered with nettles; Its stone wall was broken down. When I saw it, I considered it well; I looked on it and received instruction: A little ...read more

"grief (Part 2): Biblical Response To Kubler-Ross's Stages Of Grief" Series

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Aug 9, 2021

Death separates us from someone we love and oftentimes causes pain of grief! This sermon helps us understand Elizabeth Kubler-Ross's stages of grief and biblical's response to them.

Last week we learned that grief is a normal response to the loss of any significant person, object, or opportunity. The Bible tells us that many people of faith, even Jesus, grieved. So, it is okay to grieve and cry. But do not grieve like the unbelievers who don't have hope. Do not dwell in ...read more
