    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Nov 1, 2024
     | 721 views

    The date of the end of the world cannot be known based on prophecy.

    We are nearing the end of Ordinary Time as Advent draws near and so the theme this time of year is on the Second Coming of Christ at the end of the world. People are telling end of the world jokes like there is no tomorrow! E.g., A comedian spoke of a Pentecostal preacher who had predicted the end ...read more

    One And A Half Verses To Get To Know Better

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Aug 30, 2025
     | 225 views

    Romans 8:28 doesn’t promise only good things will happen, but that God weaves even suffering, loss, and opposition into His greater plan for our ultimate good.

    Good MORNING. Here’s a little-known fact for you as we begin. Romans 8, where our epistle lesson comes from, is probably the second most taught, preached and studied chapters of the Bible, behind only the 23rd Psalm, which tells us how “the Lord is our Shepherd.” Unlike the 23rd Psalm, which is ...read more

    The Bible commands us to do all ministries. God wouldn’t give us a responsibility without the ability.

    “But earnestly desire the best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way. 1 Corinthians 12:31 “For I wish that all men were even as I myself. But each one has his own gift from God, one in this manner and another in that.” 1 Corinthians 7:7 A. MANY PURPOSES FOR FAITH 1. Get more faith. ...read more

    How Are We To Be Servant Leaders?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on May 21, 2023
     | 1,050 views

    Jesus teaches about serving others. We are not to think too highly of ourselves in the service of the Lord.

    In this passage of Scripture, Mark is telling us what Jesus teaches about serving others. This concurs with the story in Matthew 20:20-28. Mark records that John and James went to Jesus with their appeal; in Matthew, their mother likewise made the petition. There is no logical inconsistency in the ...read more

    Persecution And Evangelism Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 17, 2025
     | 502 views

    Persecution is not a sign of defeat but a confirmation that we are on the right path. When we face opposition in evangelism, we must not be discouraged but rejoice, knowing that we are partaking in Christ’s sufferings. The gospel is unstoppable, and no amount of persecution can hinder God’s plan.

    PERSECUTION AND EVANGELISM By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Matthew 5:11-12 "Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted ...read more

    Setting Our Minds On Divine Things

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Sep 12, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 958 views

    Jesus taught his disciples to set their minds on divine things such as denying themselves and taking up their crosses to follow him. He added to that statements about "losing" our lives and to not be ashamed of the Gospel. What does all this mean?

    THERE ARE PASSAGES IN THE BIBLE THAT CAN CREATE FEAR AND POSSIBLY DISTRESS DUE TO THEIR BLUNT, BUT HIDDEN MEANING. IN LUKE 14:26, WE ARE TOLD THAT “IF ANYONE COMES TO ME AND DOES NOT HATE FATHER AND MOTHER, WIFE AND CHILDREN, BROTHERS AND SISTERS—YES, EVEN THEIR OWN LIFE—SUCH A PERSON CANNOT BE MY ...read more

     | 11,187 views

    Expanding the Kingdom of God during this Church Age is a mandate that is still incumbent upon all churches. If the doors to continued expansion are closing, it may be because we are disobedient, or it may presage the closing of this present age.

    “To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: ‘The words of the holy one, the true one, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, who shuts and no one opens. “‘I know your works.
