    based on 3 ratings
     | 203 views

    True peace and acceptance come not from self-righteousness, but from humble, honest confession and receiving God’s mercy through Jesus Christ.

    Some of us came in today with a smile that hides a sigh. Calendars are crammed, minds are noisy, and hearts carry the kind of weariness you can’t quite name. You’ve been faithful, you’ve been trying, and you’re hoping heaven hears. Others of us slipped in quietly, feeling a little out of place, ...read more

    True acceptance with God comes not from self-righteousness or performance, but from humble, honest confession and receiving His mercy through Jesus Christ.

    Some of us walked in today with weary hearts and distracted minds. The week has been loud. Deadlines and dishes, headlines and heartaches—so many voices bidding for your attention. But in the quiet place where you talk to God, what matters most? How do you come to Him? With polished phrases and ...read more

    True acceptance with God comes not through self-righteousness or comparison, but through humble confession and receiving His mercy offered in Jesus Christ.

    Some stories slip into the room and sit right beside us. This is one of them. It whispers to the weary, “You can put down the mask,” and it nudges the proud, “You can put down the measuring stick.” Picture it: two people walk into God’s house—one with a polished prayer and a proud posture, the ...read more

    In this lesson, we examine some of the things that can hinder God's ability, not His willingness, but His ability to answer our prayers.

Johnson, respectively, are partnering to offer Bible studies for Christians seeking to grow in their relationship with Jesus. This is a Bible study lesson, not a sermon.

    Humble Confidence In Prayer

    Contributed by Terry Hovey on Jan 15, 2026
     | 856 views

    How can we be both humble AND bold when we pray? Isn’t the concept of being both humble and bold contradictory?

    Humble Confidence in Prayer Gen 18:25-27; Luk 18:9-14; 1Joh 5:14-15 Introduction Good morning, church family! Let me ask you a question that might seem contradictory at first: How can we be both humble AND bold when we pray? Some of you might be thinking, "Pastor, those two things don't ...read more

    But did we allow that consuming power of God's love reshape our lives? Did we make a decision to give our whole lives to Jesus Christ the savior of all? That is the question I want you to ask yourself today.

    "Our Identity In Christ (Ii): We Are Sinners And Need God’s Forgiveness”

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Jun 2, 2021
     | 2,579 views

    Knowing who we are in Christ is vital. Without it, we can be confused, lost, and have no meaning and purpose in our lives, and therefore, fail to accomplish God's plans for us. This is the second sermon series on "Our Identity in Christ."

    The second element about "Self-Identity" that we need to understand is that we are human beings who have sinned and need God's forgiveness. Let's read Genesis 3:6 - “When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for ...read more

     | 1,098 views

    Jew and Gentile must now come to God through faith and there can be no boasting. God’s grace leads to salvation. In becoming saved through grace, each one is justified because the just God justifies them. Only a just God can do that. No king on this earth can justify anyone.

    To be sorry means "I am filled with sorrow." What can the Pharisee and the Tax Collector teach us about the value of being "filled with sorrow" before our God?

    A woman told about a conversation that she’d had with her 4-year-old son after they’d gotten out of their Bible Studies one night. She said: “My son and I were WALKING to our car, and he said to me, ‘Mom, I’m not going to sin anymore.’” I got to wondering this, so I asked him why he said that, ...read more
