Luke 9:57-62 Now it happened as they journeyed on the road, that someone said to Him, “Lord, I will follow You wherever You go.” And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” Then He said to another, “Follow Me.” But he ...read more

A Sacrifice Should Cost

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 5, 2022

Sometimes we feel that life is spinning out of control. In order to receive a spiritual breakthrough we might have to make a sacrifice, and a sacrifice must cost us something; for we can’t cheat the Lord and expect Him to bless us for it.

Our message this evening is entitled, “A Sacrifice Should Cost.” A “sacrifice” is defined as “an offering made to God . . . as an acknowledgement of His power and provision.” It’s also defined as “surrender or loss made or incurred for gaining some object, or for obliging another.”(1) Based on ...read more

Counting The Cost Of A King Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Sep 24, 2022

Israel demanded a king and rejected God as their king. God made a new covenant with King David. In David’s offspring a king would rule forever. Israel rejected God but they did not thwart his sovereign purposes for man. In Jesus Christ both the Sinai covenant and David’s covenant are fulfilled.

It is tragic when we give something more priority than we give God. Sporting events can develop character and teach young people positive lessons but if that sport ever came between that person and God, it is wrong. Even humanitarian projects which are serving human need in a ministry, if they ...read more

The Cost Of Civil War Series

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Aug 30, 2025

Civil war among God’s people always comes at a terrible cost. Even when the cause seems justified, division within the household of faith leads to destruction, grief, and the weakening of God’s people before their enemies. Unity brings victory, but internal strife brings devastation.
