    Martha, Martha, You're Not So Bad

    Often overshadowed by her sister Mary, Martha is often marginalized as an undesirable example of for disciples. However, when examined through the lens of scripture and not popular Christian books, Martha shines through as an example for all godly women.

    When I survey the women of the New Testament, I find some remarkable women of faith, Mary the mother of Jesus (Luke 1:26-38) is the first to come to mind. But, there are others, such as Joanna, Susanna and Mary Magalene (Luke 8:1-3). Later on, I read about Priscilla who, along with her husband, ...read more

    When we battle distractions in our life, we must position our focus on Christ who also takes all our worries and troubles. Let us bring ourselves to Him.

    Opening illustration: Every day I drive the same highway to and from the office, and every day I see an alarming number of distracted drivers. Usually they’re talking on the phone or texting, but I have also seen people reading the newspaper, putting on makeup, and eating a bowl of cereal ...read more

    All things urgent are not necessarily important. If we don't know what is important, everything will seem urgent.

    We’re winding down our message series entitled Choices—only this week and one more week to go in the series. We’ve explored the choices of purpose or popularity, surrender or control, discipline or regret and next week, we’ll talk about the choice of life or death.

    Which laws should you follow, God's or Culture's? There are times that culture/society will create a law that violates God's law. Can you follow that Law?

    Choosing What Really Matters

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on May 6, 2025

    As believers—especially in this fast-paced generation—we must constantly evaluate whether we are distracted or devoted. It’s time to choose what really matters: the presence of Jesus and His Word.

    Allow Me To Meet You Series

     | 1,560 views

    In the chaos of life, Jesus doesn’t shout, He simply shows up. Allow Me To Meet You is a call to pause, refocus, and choose what matters most: sitting at His feet. When Jesus enters our busy lives, He’s not asking for more effort, He’s asking for our heart.

    (38) Now as they went on their way, Jesus entered a village. And a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house. (39) And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching. (40) But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, ...read more

    The Book Of Lamentations – Part 18 – The Kindness And Compassions Of God Never Fail. Wait - And Seek The Lord As Your Portion - Chapter 3:22-26 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 9, 2025
     | 357 views

    We have an interesting message here. God’s kindness and compassions NEVER fail because the Lord is my portion and that gives hope. The Lord is good to those who WAIT and SEEK Him. Waiting silently for the Lord is so commendable. We wait for His salvation for it certainly comes.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 18 – THE KINDNESS AND COMPASSIONS OF GOD NEVER FAIL. WAIT AND SEEK THE LORD AS YOUR PORTION - CHAPTER 3:22-26 In the last message we saw a complete change of thought.

    Like the sandalwood tree that imparts its fragrance to the axe that cuts it, a woman can become a blessing to many (even to the one who harms her) through what she has learnt of God in her sorrows!

    The beautiful title a woman can have at any time of her life is ‘daughter’. She can rise up to any level with any impressive titles in her whole life. But ‘daughter’ is the title that assures her security, comfort, hope and belonging. When you are confident that you are not only called but are ...read more
