Humble Yourself Series

Contributed by Kamalanathan Francis on Feb 20, 2021

Humble life is part of a disciple, a command from the Lord himself. A proud heart is an abomination to the Lord, honour comes after humility.

There is a reward to anyone who humbles before God. Peter insists that we humble in the hand of God and not before humans. Christian Scholar and author C. S. Lewis, said, "a proud man is always looking down on things and people;" As a result, such people lose the opportunity to serve ...read more

From Inward Seeking To Outward Serving

Contributed by Russell Brownworth on Feb 22, 2021

The very best place to be is in a church that is unified and handling well the threats to unity. The very worst is a church that is splintered, full of cliques and getting worse each year.

Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and compassionate? Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and ...read more

I Serve A Savior

Contributed by David Nolte on Feb 25, 2021

We all serve someone or some thing.

We are all servants of something or someone. We are either enslaved to the sin we have committed or we are servants of Jesus to Whom we are committed. Serving either one is a personal choice. No one can force your service to either master. No one can prevent your service. But whom will you ...read more

Grace For The Humble Series

Contributed by Jim Keegan on Mar 18, 2021

If pride is the deadliest of sins, humility is the greatest of all Christian virtues, because it honors God’s rightful place of authority and serves his good and perfect will above all else. "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble."

Lent 2021 - Who Has Believed Our Message Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Mar 20, 2021

Isaiah 53 is one of the most profound messianic prophecies found in all of the Old Testament and it asks a simple but convicting question, "Who has believed our message?" What message are we declaring? Is it the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

Living A Humbled Life (Palm Sunday) Version 2

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 22, 2021

When we become Christians, hopefully, we come to the realization of our own vanity when we realize how the world really does not revolve around us! The day will come when every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.

Preaching From Philippians #6

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 31, 2022

In this passage of scripture, Paul talks to the Philippian Christians about salvation. That may seem strange because these people said they were Believers.

A good pastor deals with the subject of salvation for two reasons: (1) He knows it is a possibility that many are deceived about their salvation. The Lord Himself dealt with this deception in Matthew 7:22-23, we read, “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy ...read more

Preaching From Philippians #4

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 31, 2022

In Chapter one, Paul let these Christians in Philippi know that he wanted to come to them, but couldn’t because he was in jail.

He also wanted them to know that his being in jail might bring about his death, but if it did, they were not to let it shake their faith in the Lord Jesus. He did not want them to feel sorry for him or for themselves, because Paul let it be known that for him “TO LIVE IS CHRIST AND TO DIE IS ...read more
