The Rewards Of Giving To The Work Of God

Contributed by Margaret Olubiyi on Sep 11, 2018

Understanding the benefits of giving to God and the kingdom

Slapped In The Face With Love Series

Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Dec 24, 2017

A sermon about taking Jesus to the party, and why God loves you enough to be born as a baby

One little known fact about Father Christmas - and I am not making this up - is that in the year 325AD he punched someone in the face. I am sure he was very sorry about it afterwards.

Humility, Repentance And An Increase Of The Anointing

Contributed by Brett Crosson on May 1, 2019

IT’s TRUE: We MUST keep the main thing the main thing. Walking humbly before God in contrition of heart over our sins and that of our nation ought to be one of these main things. Or else we get caught up in hyper grace, knowing truth but never being set free.
