A New Beginning Series

Contributed by Kamalanathan Francis on Jan 22, 2022

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.

The New Commandment Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 22, 2022

The New Testament repeatedly tells us to "love one another," but why bother? Why do I constantly need to be reminded?

Koplitz 28 “Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near. 29 “Even so, you too, when you see these things happening, recognize that He is near, right at ...read more

A New Song Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 5, 2021

God is infinite, and therefore, only infinite creativity is worthy of Him, and adequate to glorify His name. It is also essential to keep joy alive in the worshipper. Variety is the spice of life, and a new song is like a tonic that lifts and enables us to feel afresh the love that is always there.

It is easy for us to do what the psalmist urges us to do, "Sing to the Lord a new song." The number of new songs to sing today is enormous. Back in 1891 Dr. Julian in his famous Dictionary of Hymnology examined four hundred thousand hymns, and he did not cover them all. There are, ...read more

New Things

Contributed by Grant Adams on Apr 17, 2021

There is a certain excitement that comes with New Things. To some degree in our mind and hearts, we wipe from our mind and heart all the failures of the past year, all the heartaches and disappointments of the past year.
