    If You Were Accused Of Being A Christian, Would There Be Enough Evidence To Convict You?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Nov 11, 2024
     | 746 views

    How would we stand up in a court based upon our Christianity? Would we truly be found guilty of being a Christian or would we be acquitted due to lack of evidence?

    At the time when the Jewish remnant returned to Israel to rebuild the walls, Joshua was the High Priest (Haggai 1:1, 2:4). APPOINTED, ACCUSED, APPEARANCE, ACCEPTABLE In verses one - four: Satan “resisted” (accused) Joshua, who depicts the country of Israel here. The allegations were exact, ...read more

    Deep Calls To Deep: A Journey Into God Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on May 11, 2025
     | 843 views

    Many believers settle for shallow waters—surface-level Christianity that lacks intimacy and transformation. But God is calling us deeper: deeper in worship, deeper in prayer, deeper in the Word, and deeper in purpose.

    DEEP CALLS TO DEEP: A JOURNEY INTO GOD By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Psalm 42:7 – "Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me." Supporting Texts: Jeremiah 29:13, Philippians 3:10, Ezekiel 47:1-5, Revelation 4:1, James ...read more

    Explore the profound assurance in Psalms 23:1 that God, as our Good Shepherd, provides for us, comforts us, and remains faithful even in our trials, ensuring that we lack nothing.

    Good morning, family. Today, we're going to delve into a passage that's probably familiar to many of us, but that doesn't mean we can't discover something new and profound within its lines. We're looking at Psalms 23:1 today, a verse that whispers the promise of God's faithfulness, the comfort of ...read more

    Let's Make A Deal

    Contributed by Chris Tiller on Dec 14, 2005
    based on 7 ratings
     | 9,960 views

    Parable of the dishonest manager: The Kingdom of God works on different principles than we’re used to. Efficiency, practicality, and self-interest are not the core values of the Kingdom. God expects a lot more for us (and from us) than we expect him to.

    There was a rich man. This man was so rich that he didn’t make his own bed. He had a personal maid who did that. He didn’t make his own dinner. He had a personal chef who did that. He didn’t drive his own car. He had a chauffeur who did that. He didn’t balance his own checkbook. He had a ...read more

    What an exciting time to be alive, if you let Him, He will make everyday more exciting than the day before! He wants us to awake with great expectations every morning, with Him in the center meeting and exceeding those expectations! What a better time th

    Gods Favor, tried, tested, true!

    Commitment: A Disappearing Animal

    Contributed by Kelly Durant on Apr 12, 2015
     | 6,653 views

    The thing about church is quite often people do not sacrifice much at all for it and then they get frustrated thinking it is the pastor or somebody’s fault when something is lacking or the problems appear but the reality they may be the problem!

    Commitment: A Disappearing Animal Kelly Durant 2 Samuel 24:24 And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the Lord my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought ...read more

    The Blessing Of Elizabeth

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,521 views

    God’s blessings upon us may or may not take the shape of things we want or expect. But any fulfillment apart from God, will be empty.

    The blessing of Elizabeth Luke 1:18-25 Most of the passage we are reading is about Zechariah the priest. However, it begins with a telling statement. In the modern west, our culture serves the related gods of • youth • beauty • health If you don’t have all of these three, you are somehow less ...read more

    31. Romans Chapter 7 Verses 15-25 - Messages In Romans – Gentiles Are Not Part Of Chapter 7 – Not The Battle Of The Two Natures - Message 31 Part 3 Of 3 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 17, 2025
     | 138 views

    We conclude Roman 7 - the experience of a devout man under the Law trying to keep the Law - but always being defeated. Finally, victory in in the Lord Jesus. Chapter 7 is not a Christian battling sin. The Christian is NOT in this chapter. To say so has confused the whole matter.

Romans Chapter 7 Verses 15-25 - Messages In Romans – GENTILES ARE NOT PART OF CHAPTER 7 – NOT THE BATTLE OF THE TWO NATURES - Message 31 Part 3 of 3 ROMANS CHAPTER 7 EXPOSITION – PART 3 It is most unfortunate that these three messages had to be broken into three Parts because it disrupts ...read more

    No one, not a single person in this story expects Peter to be released. Not Herod, not the guards, not the people of the church, not even Peter himself. Still, God answers the prayer.

    After The Fire Series

    Contributed by Charles Trout on Mar 9, 2001
    based on 161 ratings
     | 8,978 views

    It is the design of God that after a great move of God, we should expect a move of Satan. Through the valley and into the wilderness.

    After The Fire: KJV: 1 Ki 19:1 1And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. After experiencing a great move of God it is to our benefit to be on guard against the powers of Satan. It is not a new notion that when God does a great ...read more

    Rewards Of Repentance

    Contributed by Mike Hullah on Apr 23, 2003

     | 28,267 views

    Repentance is a positive word. As we walk in repentance we can expect three rewards: Refreshing, Restoration and Revival.

    THREE REWARDS OF REPENTANCE Matthew 3:1-3 “Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near” Beyond salvation probably one of the greatest gifts God has given man is the ability to repent. Without an ability to repent man would be unable to enter in to the Kingdom of God. Repentance always leads to a ...read more
