The Christmas That Wasn't Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 1, 2021

SAT, I assume stands for satellite, because that is the means by which they broadcast the Gospel via television programs into Muslim dominated countries in the Middle East.

Jesus’ Baptism & The Eyes Of Faith - Mark 1:7-9 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Apr 15, 2023

From the angle of God’s Word Jesus is the spectacular Son of God and magnificent, authoritative Messiah. From the angle of natural, human observation he is a disappointing nobody from nowhere. Failing to see from the biblical angle will result in confusion and doubt.

Are You Foolish?

Contributed by Kayode Omotoso on Jan 6, 2015

No matter your status, as long as you are called by His name or you are a member of His vineyard, Matt 7:21-27 calls you a fool if you meddle your will with the Father's will or you have retained your old identity in following Him.

In the part of the world where I came from, it is insulting to direct such a question at an individual. The truth is that our response to any statement goes beyond the surface meaning. And in this case, we believe that before you could direct such a question at an individual, you have ...read more

Glory Of The Believers Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Oct 15, 2022
