Never Give Up On The Lost

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 26, 2006

This is the second part of a two-part message. The two things needed to reach the lost is (1) compassion, and (2) persistent effort. We cannot remain passive and expect the lost to return. We need to make connections with the lost constantly.

The sinners flock to Jesus, not because He preaches a compromising message but for the way they were treated – Jesus loves them. • The first thing needed for reaching the lost is compassion. • We need to show more compassion to those we need to bring to Christ. • Love makes the different. It ...read more

The Anger Of The Most High

Contributed by Dove Inspirations on Aug 10, 2021

YAHWEH our FATHER also gets angry when we persistently do the things HE has told us not to do. HE is holy and does not tolerate sin. HE warns against sin and says there will be hell to pay.

Receiving The Word Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Dec 29, 2008

Jesus is addressing those who think they believe, who think they follow God. They had the notion that they were children of God, but had never yielded to Him the depth of allegiance that is at the core of real belief. It is a dangerous spiritual state.

You've Got Talent

Contributed by Gordon Pike on May 24, 2018

Going With The Flow, Embracing Change Series

Contributed by Timothy Darling on Feb 9, 2008

What God is about to do is so great, and so important and so impressive that what He has done in the past pales in comparison. If you persist in holding too tightly to the greatness of what He did in the past, you will miss the greatness of what He is goi
