"Our Identity In Christ (Iv): We Are Children Of God”

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Jun 2, 2021

Knowing who we are in Christ is vital. Without it, we can be confused, lost, and have no meaning and purpose in our lives, and therefore, fail to accomplish God's plans for us. This is the fourth sermon series on "Our Identity in Christ."

Many in the younger generation suffer from identity confusion. When we ask them “Who are you?” they cannot answer. They do not know where their value comes from. Some even question the most basic things about themselves, like those who suffer from gender dysphoria and do not know whether they are ...read more

Deceived By Sight: The Danger Of Forgetting To Ask

Contributed by Paul Dayao on Sep 24, 2025

Highlighting the irony that pagan Gibeonites acted in fear of God's reputation while Israel did not, this sermon on Joshua 9 warns that we fail when we rely on our own perception instead of seeking God's counsel.

Introduction: The Two Enemies In our spiritual walk, we face two kinds of enemies. First, there is the enemy that comes like a roaring lion—the open, obvious, and frontal assault. This is the threat we see coming, the persecution, the direct temptation. After Israel’s great victory at Jericho, all ...read more

Discovering Your Purpose

Layers Of An Onion

Contributed by Jerry Smith on Jun 28, 2021

I was originally drawn to this passage because of this conversation between Jesus and Peter. I wanted to understand the deeper meaning of what was being said here. I have learned that and much more. I found four layers to the onion.

Have any of you tried a fried blooming onion? They taste great. If you haven’t had one - they cut open a sweet Vidalia onion and dip it in batter and deep fry it and all the layers spread out. You are probably wondering why I am talking about onions and making everyone hungry; it is because onions ...read more

Stay Vigilant

Contributed by Masimba Murisa on Aug 29, 2025

As we navigate life as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ we encounter storms and difficulties. The Apostle Peter warns us to stay vigilant or careful, alert as we have an adversary the devil who does not want to see us win and triumph in life.

The devil is on assignment to take us out and derail our lives. Most believers live their Christian lives not realizing that we have an adversary who is on assignment to steal, kill and destroy their lives according to (John 10:10) -When trouble comes which it will do at some point in our lives, ...read more

Every Word From The Mouth Of God

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jan 15, 2020

The phrase "it is written" is used seventy-two times in the Bible and even four times when Jesus is being tempted by the devil in the wilderness. (The evil one used it once, too.) Why did Jesus and the apostles lean so heavily on Scripture? Is it really so important?

Every Word From the Mouth of God Please stand as we read our newest memory Scripture together … 1 Peter 4:10 “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” And our memory refresher verse(s) for today is(are) … 2 ...read more

Start The Day With A Good Breakfast. Especially When Jesus Is The Cook!

Contributed by Roger Whipp on Jan 27, 2015

Don't be disilluioned or give up the faith. Jesus will always be there in our hour of need. Don't be so super spiritual that you retreat away from the realities of daily life.

When Paul the Vicar told me what passage I was to preach on, at first glance I though it could be an early night and I’ll get home to see the start of Heartbeat!
