     | 5,372 views

    This message deals with the results of using alcohol. The scripture says that it leads to a loss of control which in turn affects our character. We need to pay attention to this warning.

    “Driving Between the Lines” Ephesians 5:15-18 We see them every day but most of us don’t pay much attention to them. Since I have been preparing this series I have paid a lot of attention to them. They’re called guardrails. Guardrails are that invisible part of the ...read more

     | 8,605 views

    Don't imitate what is evil, but rather what is good. Even in the church and even in leadership we can find poor examples. We shouldn't walk after the example of men and women like Diotrephes. We should instead follow the example of men and women who exhib

    Have you noticed how this world system is constantly trying to influence our decisions?

    1. All of us have a STAMP OF APPROVAL. • That is, by our words & deeds, we either approve of things or we disapprove of things. I like that. I don’t like that. • When people ask our opinions, we often quickly share our feelings on a topic or 2 or 3. • I have to agree that there are times when this ...read more

    A church can only be what God has called them to be when everyone takes on their biblical role of, "minister." Based on a series of messages by John Maxwell, this message confronts the unbiblical notion that the pastor should do all the ministry in a chur

    Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread By Pastor Joseph Ondu

    Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Jul 28, 2025
     | 273 views

    The word “give” is a request. It implies that what we are asking for is not something we can manufacture ourselves. We are not demanding, we are petitioning God, acknowledging that He alone is our Source.

    Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread By Pastor Joseph Ondu Key Text: Matthew 6:11 (NKJV) – “Give us this day our daily bread.” Introduction: Beloved, in the Lord’s Prayer often called the model prayer—Jesus gave His disciples a powerful blueprint for how to approach God.

    Prayer is the believer’s lifeline to God. It is not merely a religious duty or a formality; it is a relationship, a conversation, a connection with the Father. Jesus prayed. The early church prayed. The apostles prayed. And every revival in history has been birthed in prayer.

     | 369 views

    Easter calls us to come and see — to experience the risen Christ personally. Then, we are called to go and tell — to share the good news that Jesus is alive. Like the women at the tomb, we are messengers of resurrection hope in a world full of fear, doubt, and death

    Don’t let a desire for instant gratification disqualify you from God’s best.

    I think the five most nauseating words a person can hear are, “I’m sorry, you’ve been disqualified.” Disqualification means that no matter how hard you try or how well you’ve done, you will not reach your goal. There’s something that you can never have because you’ve been disqualified. ...read more
