Scarlet Cord

Contributed by Samuel M on Jan 11, 2024

And she bound the scarlet cord in the window as soon as the spies left. The scarlet cord which she used to save the spies was a remainder for God to save Rahab. The sacrifices that we make in God's will, will be the scarlet cord’s that reminds God to save us when we are in trouble.

So the men said to her: “We will be blameless[d] of this oath of yours which you have made us swear, 18 unless, when we come into the land, you bind this line of scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and unless you bring your father, your mother, your brothers, and all your ...read more

The Royal Lineage Of The Lord Jesus (Matthew 1:1-18)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Nov 3, 2024

We tend to skip the list of names in the first verses of Matthew's gospel, but each name is there for a reason, and it is to show the royal line of the Lord Jesus Christ and HIs right to the throne of David as King and Messiah.

Matthew wastes no time in establishing his case to prove that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Promised Messiah and the heir to David's throne as the true king of Israel. His opening statement reads as follows: "The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the son of ...read more

Sermon # 25- Arise And Go Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 14, 2024

Once the fish had vomited Jonah out, God’s call came to the prophet to arise and go to Nineveh and preach to the people. God’s call to the church is to take the good news of the gospel to those outside. May we too arise and go to fulfill the great commission of Jesus.

We read in Jonah 3:1-2, Then the word of the LORD came to Jonah the second time, saying, “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it the message that I tell you.”(ESV) These are the words of God to Jonah after the fish vomited him out onto the shore. We are not sure in what ...read more

Almost everything I worry about never happens.” There's a new word that we are hearing more and more these days ...read more

True Success

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on May 27, 2024

Many Christians understand success unbiblically. They have been deceived into chasing success according to the world's standards. They should know that the measure of success according to God is very different from the world's.

Today, I will discuss success. I have been reluctant to discuss this topic because I do not want to be associated with the teaching of "Theology of Success" or "Prosperity Gospel," which is not based on the complete teachings of the Bible. But two weeks ago, I felt the Holy ...read more
