    Choose Your Altar

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 24, 2025
     | 103 views

    Sin disguises death, but the cross reveals truth. Choose Christ’s altar and guard your home from the silent discipleship of darkness.

    Introduction — The Altars We Don’t Notice There was a time when altars were unmistakable. Stone. Fire. Blood. Devotion. Awe. Everyone knew the moment of worship. Everyone knew to whom they were offering themselves. Today, the altars have changed. They glow. They scroll. They entertain. They fit ...read more

    Let Go Of My Ego

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 9, 2025
     | 252 views

    True victory comes when the ego dies and Christ lives through us—surrendering self to gain the freedom and fullness of His Spirit.

    Part 1 – The Waffle and the War 1. A Breakfast Battle You’ve seen the commercial. A sleepy kid stumbles into the kitchen clutching a golden waffle. Just as he’s about to take a bite, a sibling swoops in. They wrestle and shout the famous line: “Leggo my Eggo!” It’s silly, harmless, ...read more

    The Question Evil Can’t Answer

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 29, 2025
     | 115 views

    Evil remains a mystery, but the cross reveals God’s character. He enters human suffering, bears its weight, and assures us that love—not evil—has the final word.

    There are certain questions that do not arise from curiosity, but from collision. They are not born in classrooms or debates, but in moments when life presses hard against the soul and refuses to explain itself. These questions surface when loss interrupts routine, when suffering enters without ...read more

    Comparison Loses Its Grip: The Triumph Of Weakness

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 28, 2026
     | 18 views

    The cross triumphs by re-centering the self in Christ, turning anxious self-reliance into grateful boasting in the Lord.

    The cross wins. That sentence is easy to say. It’s familiar. It sounds settled. But if we pause long enough to let it register, we begin to feel how strange it really is. Because nothing about the cross looks like winning. Nothing about it fits our instincts about power, success, or effectiveness. ...read more

    This was the first cry out recorded in the gospels from the cross. Forgiveness is a basic foundation of the cross.

    1stBBC Forgive them Luk 23:33-34 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and ...read more

    Rise From The Pit Series

    Contributed by Dennise Ogalesco on Apr 22, 2015
     | 8,215 views

    Each one of us had experience down times, troubles and trials. Rising up must be our immediate action. God's help will always be available to those who call on Him. He will lift us up, if we never lose heart.

    RISE UP FROM THE PIT 2 Kings 6:5-7 Testimonies are powerful message of God's working in our life. Apostle Paul was asked by King Agrippa to defend himself... He was asked to testify. Axe symbolizes barrenness. When the axe were not sharpened, it has no use. It has no value at all. And it is good ...read more

    based on 6 ratings

    Be alert to the wiles of the devil. Be ready to deny self, and follow Jesus.

    AN ANSWER TO THE TYRANNY OF SELF. Mark 8:27-38.

    Setting Our Minds

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,882 views

    Peter has good intentions, but they are not in agreement with God's ultimate plan. We must covenant to deny ourselves and align ourselves to God's will and ways.

    WE MAY HAVE HEARD THIS FAMILIAR SAYING: “THE ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS.” AN INTENTION IS SIMPLY A PLAN OR GOAL WE HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH. IRONICALLY, INTENTIONS DON’T ACHIEVE ANYTHING. THEY ARE MERELY IDEAS AND DREAMS OF SPECIFIC THINGS THAT WE’D LIKE TO SEE DONE IN THE ...read more

    The River That Flowed From The Temple In Jerusalam

    Contributed by Revd. Martin Dale on Mar 27, 2020
     | 9,043 views

    In Ezekiel 47, The prophet receives a vision of the River flowing from the Temple and he is invited to cross the River at various crossing. What does each crossing signify.

    Ezekiel 47: 1-12 I love this passage of Scripture, not least because in Ezekiel’s time there was no river in the City of Jerusalem and so it would be impossible for a river to flow from the Temple. You may well say to me, not so. And I will concede that in 2011, while Jerusalem was in the ...read more

     | 783 views

    Jesus suffered the ignominy of dying on the cross for the sin of mankind. The riches of the cross is laced with trials and persecutions. Every believer must carry his/her cross daily.

    TEXT: Philippians 3:10 "That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death." CHRIST SUFFERED FOR YOU Suffering is not pleasant but sometimes necessary to ascend to the seat of glory. Christ had to suffer ...read more

    1 Corinthians 15:12-20 I have here some visual aids. I don’t usually do this, but today I’m going to talk about symbols, and I wanted you to see and be able to visualize the symbols I’m referring to.
