    The Cost Of Discipleship

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Feb 7, 2025
     | 178 views

    We must keep our hearts focused on eternal life and pleasing God. We cannot afford to let the things of this world make us spiritually bankrupt.

    ROBERT FROST HAS WRITTEN ONE OF THE MOST PROFOUND STATEMENTS WHICH SIMPLY SAYS, “TWO ROADS DIVERGED IN A WOOD, AND I—I TOOK THE ONE LESS TRAVELED BY, AND THAT HAS MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE.” THOSE WHO FOLLOW CHRIST MUST ALSO CHOOSE A SIMILAR PATH LESS TRAVELED THAT WILL MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE. ...read more

    Songs We Sing: "must Jesus Bear The Cross Alone" Series

    Contributed by Troy Borst on Mar 5, 2025
     | 146 views

    The song we will focus on is the worst hymn that has ever been produced (IN MY OPINION). Why is this hymn the worst? This hymn is the worst because it teaches incorrect theology about Jesus Christ.

    This message comes out of that uncertainty some of us have about the Old Testament and what part it plays in our Christian Walk, so the subject for today is if.

    if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14 This Old Testament Scripture, some would say only apply to the Children of ...read more

    Simon Of Cyrene: A Poor And Blessed Man

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Mar 10, 2025
     | 242 views

    When Simon of Cyrene was forced to carry Jesus's cross, he probably was upset. But that was a blessing in disguise. If he had not been forced to carry Jesus’ cross, he might not have known Jesus and received His grace.

    Let’s read Mark 15:16-32. Last week we learned that even though Pilate knew Jesus was innocent, he eventually gave in to the pressure of the crowd who wanted Jesus crucified. Verse 15 says: “Pilate, wanting to satisfy the crowd, released Barabbas for them. But he flogged Jesus and handed him over ...read more

    True Mercy Over True Sin

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Mar 22, 2025
     | 116 views

    Struggling with Sin? You're not the first. This morning we look at Law and Grace, and how great the Mercy Jesus gives us over True Sin is.

    True Mercy Over True Sin Good Morning. Today we look at Law and Grace, two things that live in constant tension in a Christian’s life. A common knock against focusing too much grace is that it will encourage a lack of love or respect for God’s Law. As Paul says in Romans 6, because we have grace ...read more

    The Secret Of Spiritual Power

    Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Apr 3, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 186 views

    Christians today are encouraged to seek more power, more anointing, and more gifts. Indeed, as the Lord calls us back to the Cross to become disciples of Jesus, He intends to first humble us before empowering us.

    The basic need of a disciple of Jesus Christ is not seeking for more power from God, but more brokenness. Apostle Paul says in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 “Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in ...read more
