Obedience Plus Passion Equals…strike The Ground.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Feb 6, 2022

Real Love- Part 1 Series

Contributed by Kiruba Stephen on Feb 16, 2022

In part 1 of the message entitled Real Love, we explore the definition of God's love versus the world’s love.

Worldly love is selfish and politically correct but not good necessarily. It is also anti-Christian. Worldly love has no love or room for God. You see that all the time. You see that on the streets. You see that at festivals. You see that at gatherings of families. You see that at parties. You see ...read more

What Jesus’ Grief Over Jerusalem Reveals Series

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Mar 30, 2023

The reasons for grief are many, such as the loss of a loved one, the loss of health, or the letting go of a long-held dream. Dealing with a significant loss can be one of the most difficult times in a person's life. Jesus sees God’s dream for Jerusalem slipping away.

Contributed by Colin Mcgeer on May 16, 2023

Joseph faced opposition but, as a result, saved his family. David faced opposition from his brother but went ahead and killed Goliath. Nehemiah faced opposition, never lost confidence, and completed the building in record time. We no less will succeed, our confidence in our Lord.
