    A Fountain Can Not Produce Bitter And Sweet Water.

    Contributed by James Linders on Jul 7, 2015
     | 7,178 views

    We as children of God and disciples of Jesus Christ, have a certain behavioural code by which we live. To DENY our Lord would be a GROSS violation of THIS code. UNLIKE Peter and Judas, we have the Holy Spirit to guide and teach us in ALL truth.

    Matthew 26:74 Peter began to curse and swear: "I don't KNOW that man!" Matthew 26:14-16 Then one of the Twelve—the one called Judas Iscariot—went to the chief priests and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him over to you?” So they counted out for him ...read more

    The Danger Of Following From Afar (Peter's Story)

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Apr 11, 2025
     | 124 views

    Peter’s story is a powerful warning and an encouraging reminder. Though he followed from afar and fell, he also found restoration. Let us not be casual in our walk with God. A distant walk leads to disaster, but a close walk leads to destiny.

    THE DANGER OF FOLLOWING FROM AFAR (PETER'S STORY) By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Matthew 26:57–75 “But Peter followed Him afar off unto the high priest’s palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.” – Matthew 26:58 (KJV) Supporting Texts: Luke 22:54–62, John 18:15–18, ...read more

    What Does It Mean To Carry Your Cross?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 29, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,637 views

    Looking at Simon being forced to carry the cross, we consider the call of each Christian to carry a cross as part of the life of faith.

    SIMON'S TASK: Simon was called on to carry the cross. - Mark 15:21. OUR TASK: We are called on to carry our cross. - Mark 8:34. - It’s not just Simon who was called on to carry the cross. As part of the Christian life, we are called to carry our cross as well. - This is confusing to many ...read more

    God's Presence

    Submission to God and His powerful presence are two of the keys of success as we journey in life. Our submission can be demonstrated through fasting.

    INTRODUCTION 2008 is a journey that no man has charted already. How can we know what are the prospects in life in store for us in this journey? In today’s scripture, Ezra ask Israel to fast to ensure themselves of success and prosperity in their journey back to Jerusalem. They did not just pray ...read more

     | 7,543 views

    The account of Jesus' suffering and death on our behalf has become so familiar that if we are not careful we can skim right through it when reading the Bible and never give it a second thought. Let's look at it again to day with fresh eyes of wonder.

    Let's stand and read together our memory Scripture for this first quarter of 2018. 2 Timothy 2:11-13 “Here is a trustworthy saying: If we died with Him, we will also live with Him; if we endure, we will also reign with Him. If we disown Him, He will also disown us; if we are faithless, He remains ...read more

    Jesus gives us lots of opportunities to join him

    John 21:1-19 This story of the final appearance of Jesus to his disciples took place a couple weeks after Easter; the disciples seemed at wit’s end… Jesus has died, they were not really sure about the resurrection (even though they have seen the risen Christ once or twice).

    Worship: Why? Series

    based on 44 ratings
     | 5,997 views

    We worship because that is the way we can express our deepest fears and instabilities; we can be freed from ourselves; and we can gain motivation for the use of our lives.

    Few things are shared in by more human beings than worship. Worship is something nearly everybody does, in one way or another. Now I didn’t say that everybody goes to church. Obviously not. Not even half of the American population attends any kind of worship on a regular basis. The Gallup Poll ...read more

    Exercising Towards Godliness

     | 10,651 views

    Godliness is not something that happens over night. It takes work and discipline. It takes exercise!

    Do you remember the last time you left a service all fired up to change? You were determined to be different. "This time," you said, "I mean it; I am going to become the person that God wants me to be!" "No Really! I'm going to change! I won't give in to that temptation. I will read my Bible every ...read more

    Journey From Death To Life (Part 2) Series

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Mar 28, 2023
     | 912 views

    Peter’s brokenness taught him a great lesson about the Lord’s love, faithfulness, forgiveness, and acceptance. Peter had his own journey from death to life. He realized he could not follow Jesus in his own strength. This realization kept him humble and dependent on Jesus.

    Last Sunday we spoke about Jesus in the Valley of Kidron, then in the Garden of Gethsemane, and how the whole time He was in God’s will in His journey from death to life. We are coming to the end of Jesus’ earthly journey in the book of John and can see that these last few hours would be the most ...read more

    Jesus gives us a step by step method of the requirements that must be made to be a follower of him.

    4 Requirements of Following Jesus Mark 8:34 “And when he had called the people unto Him with his disciples also, He said to them, whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.” There is a song we sing during church service, “What a friend we have in ...read more

    Following At A Distance

    Contributed by Craig Benner on Sep 29, 2012
     | 4,046 views

    Does being a follower automatically make you a success? Peter shows us what it is to follow at a distance and the reprecussions that it can bring to your life if you are not willing to follow at the side of Jesus. Fortunately, Peter changed his ways and
