Three Cheers From Jesus Series

Contributed by Joshua Blackmon on Jul 6, 2025

Christian joy is rooted in the presence and promises of Jesus Christ. His repeated command to His followers is not, “Shape up,” but, “Cheer up.” The gospel is good news. Jesus gives us three great reasons to rejoice: forgiveness, fellowship, and final victory.

The Wicked Shall Fall

Contributed by Daniel Olukoya on Jul 28, 2011

Everybody has spiritual enemies. If you say you do not have, then you must have dropped from heaven because Jesus Himself had and they hated Him and did not hide it. They would have killed Him before His time if not that He had a ministry to fulfil.

This week we are looking at a message entitled, “The wicked shall fall.” Psalms 27:2 says, "When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.” Here, the Bible is saying that the wicked shall stumble and fall. Sometime ago, a ...read more

There were no injuries, but there were fiery flames, an acrid smell, cars dodging one another, pedestrians pumping ...read more

Let's Expect A Miracle Of Giving
