    As pastors, there are certain tasks to which we must be committed. This message lists three vitally important tasks to which every pastor should commit himself.

    My Goals, By God’s Grace Text: I Cor.9: 16; Eph.6: 18-19 Intro: All of us need goals to which we aspire.

    Sermon Title: When Friends Turn Away And People Walk Away: By Pastor Joseph Ondu

    Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Jul 23, 2025
     | 115 views

    Brothers and sisters, We live in a world where relationships are fragile. One day people are with you, and the next, they are gone. The pain of abandonment, betrayal, or silent withdrawal can cut deeper than a knife. It can leave you questioning your worth, your calling, and even your faith.

    SERMON TITLE: WHEN FRIENDS TURN AWAY AND PEOPLE WALK AWAY Scripture Texts: • 2 Timothy 4:16–17 (NIV) “At my first defense, no one came to my support, but everyone deserted me. May it not be held against them. But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength...” • Psalm 27:10 (NKJV) “When my ...read more

     | 4,430 views

    Funeral message for Eva Myers, whose distinctive discipline was six miles of walking daily ... a metaphor for walking with Christ.

    "Whoever obeys [God’s] word, truly in this person the love of God has reached perfection. By this we may be sure that we are in him: whoever says, ’I abide in him,’ ought to walk just as he walked." At first I didn’t believe it. Six miles a day?!

    This message is for a funeral of a godly young man who died after a long battle with cancer. It highlights four ways that death is gain for the believer.
