    Every child of God has two sides of life one is a personal life, which involves health, career, family, and so on. Secondly, a mission life, a life to give, be a sacrifice and become an aroma of fragrance for Jesus Christ.

    Let’s start with our personal life, No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch pulls away from the garment, and the tear is made worse. 17 Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins, or else the wineskins [d]break, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ...read more

    Living In The New Testament

    You can't put new wine in old wineskins, in so doing the wineskin bursts. Likewise, you cannot fit the Old Testament laws and rules into the New Testament grace, mercy, and forgiveness.

    Welcome, beloved friends and family of faith, as we gather in this sacred space, a sanctuary of solace and strength, to seek the wisdom of the Word of God. We are here, united in our hunger for understanding, our thirst for truth, and our shared desire to draw closer to our Creator. In the words ...read more

    Preserving The Best Of Both In The Church World

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Sep 12, 2023
     | 945 views

    When anything new comes along, we struggle to know what should be preserved and what should be discarded. This struggle may seem new, but it is an age-old problem. Jesus in this discourse helps us to preserve the best of both worlds and the danger of putting new wine in old wineskins.

    Sermon: Preserving the Best of Both in the Church World Scripture: Matt 9:10-17 “As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man named Matthew (Levi) sitting in the tax collector’s booth; and He said to him, “Follow Me [as My disciple, accepting Me as your Master and Teacher and walking the same path of ...read more

    Jesus prayed and relied on the Holy Spirit for every change. Even at the times of Christ’s greatest popularity He knew that only the Spirit produces lasting change.

    Can change truly happen? Many of us make New Year's resolutions, hoping to bring about personal transformation. However, change is often met with resistance, as people prefer the familiar. Even when individuals claim to have experienced a spiritual rebirth, skepticism arises. But the Bible tells us ...read more

     | 230 views

    El mensaje expone Filipenses 3:1-7 y explica el problema del legalismo tal como lo define el Nuevo Testamento. La ley ceremonial del Antiguo Pacto se cumplió en Cristo y no es obligatoria para los creyentes. La ley moral se reitera en el Nuevo Pacto.

    Estamos estudiando Filipenses. Nuestro texto de hoy es Filipenses 3:1-7. La semana pasada hablamos de ese texto sobre el valor de las advertencias. Dios nos advierte porque nos ama.

    Navigating The Ebb And Flow

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Dec 24, 2024

     | 421 views

    Jesus shared words to help John's disciples navigate change, as they were dealing with the loss of their leader. He also addressed the change of grace over legalism. This passage can be applied to change within the church.

    I have entitled our message this morning, “Navigating the Ebb and Flow.” The expression “ebb and flow” is an idiom used to describe periods of highs and lows, and growth and decline, just like the rising and falling of the tides. It is essentially the idea that life is not always constant, but ...read more

     | 7,331 views

    Jesus diagnoses our illnesses as primarily spiritual and/or connective; the fatal illness He diagnoses is the one which cannot see God at work.

    We all know people for whom illness is a way of life. It is not just incidental, it is every day. Every day is spent dealing with sickness or pain. Every day is invested in physicians, treatments, medications, therapies. People who struggle just to stay alive, or to manage pain. Their lives ...read more

    Funeral message for Mrs. Thora Mohler, a long-time member of our mostly African-American Baptist church, but proud of her Swedish Lutheran heritage, and devoted to certain tasks in the life of our church.

    Anyone who ever counted money with Thora Mohler will tell you that she was a woman with a determination to get things right. She would not let go until she had the right answer. On Mondays, Mrs. Mohler, until recent months, was one of those faithful behind-the-scenes workers our church has, ...read more
