    Begin Again By Moving Forward

    Contributed by Nettie J Pennington on Jan 16, 2021
     | 2,800 views

    Every moment of every day, we have an opportunity to find the way back by moving forward. Renew your minds. Try this: "Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable."

    Here is the connection we need to make: "All wrongdoing is sin" (1 John 5:17) and "sin is lawlessness" (1 John 3:4). Lawlessness and sin are a couple, and they will not divorce one from the other. There are no irreconcilable differences. Do not allow individuals in these ...read more

    In times of uncertainty, fear and anxiety can dominate our thinking to the point of spiritual inaction. God's word gives us direction for even our daily lives. Redeem the time, make use of every opportunity - intentionally.

    OPEN: Habakkuk 3:17-19 A. Habakkuk is facing uncertain times. 1. a time of questions / fear / unknown. 2. the enemy is coming, what is really going to happen? 3. He knows God is mighty, knows God cares but doesn't know how it is all going to play out. B. Habakkuk offers some ...read more

    Everytime you and I praise God it is giving God an opportunity to Get us Ready For A Turnaround. Are you ready to confuse the enemy? Are you ready to praise the Lord? Are you ready to get back what the enemy stole from you?

    Colossians 3:15-17 NKJV “And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your ...read more

    Thoughts About The Trinity

    Contributed by J Bernard Taylor on Jul 17, 2020
     | 7,448 views

    Trinity Sunday gives us an opportunity to study one of the most difficult themes of the Christian faith, the concept of one God in three persons. The Trinity is important because in a real way it shows us how God does his thing.

    Last Sunday was Pentecost Sunday, the day we celebrate the coming of the Holy Spirit with power upon the disciples. As the disciples proclaimed the wonderful works of God in their own language, but Jews from all ...read more

    The Good Covid Samaritan

    Is the opportunity to do good being hindered by the need to social distance? Should we be cautionary or should we take the risk in order to help our fellow man? The story of the Good Samaritan might give us some insight into that.

    THE GOOD COVID SAMARITAN Luke 10:30-37 In the sermon last week I shared Gal. 6:9-10, focusing on our need to do good to the family of believers. This week I was thinking about the beginning of vs. 10, "Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people". My thoughts went to ...read more

    Love On The Cross Series

    As Jesus stood trial before Pontius Pilate, Pilate had the opportunity to do the right thing, but his fear kept him from doing that. Had he been motivated by love instead, he could have stood.

    Love on the Cross Text: John 19:1-16 Before we dig in to our message today, let me just remind you of what’s happened so far. Jesus was betrayed by Judas and arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane. He was taken before Annas and Caiaphas, the Jewish religious leaders and charged with blasphemy. ...read more

     | 728 views

    We often panic when our brook dries up, whether it’s a job, a relationship, a source of income, or even a ministry opportunity. But when God allows a brook to dry up, it is not a sign of abandonment—it is a sign of transition.

    WHEN YOUR BROOK DRIES UP By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Kings 17:7 Supporting Texts: Ecclesiastes 3:1; Isaiah 43:18-19; Psalm 37:25; Hebrews 13:5; Philippians 4:19 INTRODUCTION: In 1 Kings 17, God commanded Elijah to hide by the Brook Cherith, promising supernatural provision through ...read more

    What are we going to do? A new day? A new week? A new year? No matter how flat the pancake there is always two sides. We need a greater insight to realize this obstacle is a new opportunity to trust God. Faith does not jump into darkness, faith steps into the LIGHT!

    Twenty years ago our sense of security was shattered as planes became missiles, buildings became piles of rubble, thousands of lives were lost, millions of hearts broken – the handiwork of men who killed in the name of their religion.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK TEXT: Psalm 25:1-3, 27:1-2; John 3:16-17; Matthew 22:37-39 A. Twenty years ago yesterday the skies of New ...read more

    A Day’s Wages Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 25, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,821 views

    Gathering lost souls for the kingdom is considered labor. When Jesus returns, the payment that laborers (believers) receive is eternal life, and that exact same wage goes to all who have been hired, or rather called, by the Lord.

    This evening’s message is entitled “A Day’s Wages,” and it’s taken from what is commonly called “The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard.” This parable speaks of the reward or payment for one’s labor in the kingdom. There is a story among Aesop’s Fables that addresses the reward for one’s ...read more

    Although we can't always see it, God is working on our behalf. Even when it sees as if hope is lost, God remains in control. He is sovereignly working behind the scenes in the lives of His people.

    Victorious in a Foreign Land (Part 2) Esther 9: 1-19 At this point in our study, we have considered much regarding the lives of Esther, Mordecai, and the Jews living within the Persian Empire. Following many ups and downs, the pendulum has finally swung in their favor. Although they couldn’t see ...read more

    Paul lost all worldly acclaim & possessions, he was beaten and imprisoned. He had a joy that trouble or trials could not shake. How? He says, "I have learned to be content!" That was his secret: content & thankful!
