    The Errors Of Achan- Part 3 Series

    Contributed by Nelson Emeonu on Jul 23, 2014
     | 3,124 views

    God is a faithful God but He hates one thing. It is the lifestyle of Sin. This three letter words tie the hands of God. It makes Him to be in opposition against one He should protect.

    THE ERRORS OF ACHAN- PART 3 JOSHUA 7:1, 20-26 God is a faithful God but He hates one thing. It is the lifestyle of Sin. This three letter words tie the hands of God.

     | 26,201 views

    We are called to fervent prayers over any difficult situation in our lives. Prayer will open closed doors, pull down satanic oppositions and barriers and give victory on every side.

    TRAVAILING TO PREVAIL Study Text: James 5:16-18 Jam 5:16 Confess faults to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous one avails much. Jam 5:17 Elijah was a man of like passion as we are. And he prayed earnestly that it might not ...read more

    Bible believers are sometimes criticized because they believe in heaven instead of facing the real world. The truth is the opposite. Heaven is more real than this present life because it is permanent and this life is temporary.

    Revelation 22:6-9 Purpose: To challenge believers to stay focused on God. Aim: I want the listener to worship God intently. INTRODUCTION: How can we be content in a world where there is so much suffering and pain, especially when it looks like it's only going to get worse? Even if the world ...read more

    You Are A Slave The Question Is To Whom

    Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Jul 4, 2017
    based on 6 ratings
     | 15,223 views

    The Scriptures are clear: We are either a slave to sin or we are a slave to righteousness. The opposite of rejecting God is not a freedom to be in charge of your own life. If you are not a slave to Righteousness you are a slave to SIN!

    For those who are not familiar with an Anglican Service there are four Scriptures that are read before the Message. The Scriptures assigned for today are: Genesis 22:1-14, Psalm 89: 1-18; Romans 6:12-23 and Matthew 10: 40-42. I'm not sure ... who shared this story ... but it says a lot ... about ...read more

    If you make any effort to live for God, you will face opposition. If you’ve never run into Satan, it’s because you and he are traveling parallel in the same direction.

    In the early part of Acts, we are introduced to 5 brief biographies that I want to introduce to you now. If you enjoy reading a biography, then you’ll benefit from these short bios. Think of these five men as the Mount Rushmore of the early chapters of Acts, if you will. A week ago we saw the ...read more

    This sermon is about two aviators on opposites sides of World War II and their conversion to Christianity. (Mitsuo Fuchida who led the attack on Pearl Harbor and Jacob Deshazer who participated in the Doolittle raid).

    TWO DIVIDED BY WAR, UNITED THROUGH CHRIST Text Isaiah 2:1-4 Isaiah 2:1-4 gives us a wonderful picture of God’s peace. Verse 4 poetically states that the weapons of war will be transformed into items that are constructive. Swords will beaten into plowshares. Spears will be beaten into ...read more

    The world is hostile to God and His people. It was to David, son of Jesse, also. How did he face spiritual opposition and what can we learn for the battle we are called to fight today?

    Introduction I read something this week that reinforced a conviction that has been growing in my mind over the past several months. What I read was a news item about a plaque that has been taken away from a tourist centre at the Grand Canyon in the USA. Have any of you been to the Grand ...read more

    Correct Connection In Christ

    If taught correctly these verses will encourage our security in Christ! The Believer in Christ ought to be the most secure person with their relationship with God. Sadly, it seems just the opposite. So it’s time that changes!

    Every person has been put on this planet for two reasons, first, to know God and secondly, to show that God in their life! So basically, everything less is just a waist of time! The average Christian doesn’t know the difference between union with Christ and communion with Christ: (verse 5 is ...read more

    Immediately after Abram gets "back to basics," a controversy develops. Did you know that "blessing" can lead to dissension? Did you know that walking in faith almost inevitably leads to opposition?

    The Head-On Collision Text: Genesis 13:1-18 When a corporation has some bad financial reverses, you are likely to read a press release that says something about getting back to the company’s core business. When a sports team gets outplayed, the coach’s press conference will usually have a statement ...read more

     | 17,935 views

    As the light shines, the hostile opposition to it, & thus to Jesus the light bearer, grows. It was now dangerous for Jesus to appear at the Feast of Tabernacles. Despite the danger Jesus follows His appointed path but with wisdom.

    JOHN 7: 1-13 [The 5th Discourse] THE COURAGEOUS CHRIST [Leviticus 23: 33ff] John chapter 7 conveys the reactions of the world to the revelation of Jesus Christ. Again and again throughout this Gospel John has emphasized the difficulty and ...read more

    One of the great challenges in life is to deal with opposition and the knowledge that not everyone likes us. There are other experiences that are very hard for us to deal with and one of them is when we experience a sense of abandonment. It is then that t

    Have you ever had the feeling that things were not going your way? That it was going to be a "bad hair" day and not much else was going to go well either?

    We all have to face opposition, 'winds blowing against us', but with faith in Jesus and the courage that only the Holy Spirit can give, we can endure and come through the challenges victorious.

    Title: Take Courage! Text: Mark 6:45-52 The context is important here. Immediately before this section of Mark 6 we have verses 30-44 which record the time when Jesus fed 5000 men with only 5 loaves and 2 fish. The disciples had witnessed a great miracle, so why were they terrified ...read more

    Contrast Of Testimonies Series

    Can you picture a contrast of testimonies in your mind? A situation where there was a believer with a good testimony and one with a bad testimony. John contrasts two church leaders and mentions their testimonies that are complete opposites.

    Don’t you like the old western cowboy movies when you knew who the good guy was and who was the bad guy. You can pick them out easily in those old movies because the good guy wears the white hat, and the bad guy wears the black hat. This letter makes it obvious who the good guy is and who is the ...read more
