    The church that Ann and I attend brings us joy and peace – and, sometimes amusement. Like is true with many of you, we sit in the same pew almost every Sunday. We are surrounded by wonderful, friendly people who share our faith.

    Faith On Autopilot – Going Through The Motions Without Heart Series

    Contributed by Dr. John D. Wentworth on Sep 27, 2025
     | 237 views

    There’s comfort in routine. Singing the same hymns, praying the same prayers, sitting in the same pew each Sunday—it all feels safe. But these familiar patterns can lull us into a dangerous place: performing religion instead of pursuing Jesus.

    Title: Faith on Autopilot – Going Through the Motions Without Heart Text: Matt. 15:8-9 ‘This people honors me with their lips but their heart is far from me; 9 in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ “When routine replaces relationship” Introduction: “When faith ...read more

    A message on "God's unlimited prowess in accepting a rueful sinner" wrapping up the same around a red hot current topic "Football World Cup, 2014 in Brazil (from June 12th to July 13th)" to ensure better connectivity with the man in the pew.

    Our nation is into a month where the local church building has gone somewhat dark and we find ourselves preaching to empty pews every Sunday because of this CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC. I am convinced this coronavirus outbreak is possibly the greatest outreach opportunity for the church worldwide.

    Just because you have been brought up in an Apostolic church. Sat on the pew to hear praise, prayer, preaching of the Pentecostal message. So you’ve been a part of the body for a long time. So what? It seems God will tolerate more from one who has not

     | 260 views

    There is a tragic reality happening in churches around the world every Sunday: People can be physically present in church… yet spiritually absent from Christ. You can sit in a pew, lift your hands, sing the songs, carry a Bible, know the language of church life—and still not know Jesus.

    Laodicea: Knock, Knock! Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Feb 14, 2021
     | 4,340 views

    Becoming a tepid or lukewarm church doesn’t take any effort at all … none. All we have to do is sit in the pews, sing the same old hymns, hear the same old sermons over and over again, and eventually you’ll end up with a tepid church full of lukewarm Christians.

    The sun showed them no mercy. Directly overhead, it blazed and beat down on them. They were tired and hungry and very thirsty, so the sight of a well … even a Samaritan well … was a more-than-welcome sight. Jesus and the Disciples didn’t have a jar or a bucket with them, so they had no way to ...read more

    God created man and planted a garden for him in Eden. What lessons can I learn about what God expects of me from what God did for Adam?

    Someone once wrote a poem about their garden: "Our radishes are puny things; Our peas and beans are dying; And as for the potatoes, well, those things aren't even trying And that's the way our garden grows - I tell myself, "Who needs it?" But down inside, it hurts to have it bite the hand... ...read more

    Jesus was born to be our savior. But what does that mean, and what difference can that make in our lives?

     | 653 views

    The efforts of sinful man to obtain his own acceptance with God is no more than sin wanting to shake hands with holiness and to say, “We are the same, just a bit different in appearance.” Judah was found wanting, wicked and ready for judgement. God gave them to Babylon.
