    The Priority Of Life

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jul 20, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,669 views

    Jesus did the will of the Father and finished His work. He knows His purpose in life, set the right priority, and has a passion for the lost. We want to know our purpose, set the priority and develop the passion exemplified by Christ.

    Jesus says, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent me and to finish His work.” • Of course, this couldn’t mean that Jesus do not have to eat. • Jesus uses this incident to highlight to His disciples what is important. Someone said, “The greatest danger in life is in permitting the urgent ...read more

    Paul was converted by Jesus, but he needed Ananias too

    Sometimes a Minister can be too busy - with Church Buildings to care for, and money to raise to run and repair them - with meetings to attend, and an area to minister to, he can be too busy. Too busy for his family, too busy for his Congregation, too busy for God. I say this with feeling, for ...read more

    It seems in today's world, things keep getting worse and worse. It's not your imagination. One day soon, the Rapture of the church will occur, and all Christians will go home to Heaven prior to the worst period the earth has ever known. Three messages.

    Rev 4:1-2 1 After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, "Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this." 2 Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne ...read more

    Sunday Is Here, But Monday Is Coming

     | 13,957 views

    At the end of each day of the Holy Week, Jesus withdrew from the city and then returned in the morning with a fresh symbol of who He was. On Monday He used a fig tree to teach a powerful lesson about spiritual fruit.

    While in Israel last month (March 2001) I once again had the privilege of walking down the Mount of Olives in a manner similar to that which Jesus did so many years ago on Palm Sunday. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of that view of city. It is, without a doubt, the best approach to the Holy ...read more

    He Lifts Me Up

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 24, 2025

    God’s mercy lifts us from resentment into freedom; forgiveness is not forgetting the wrong—it’s releasing it to the One who heals

    1 — The Wound That Wouldn’t Heal It’s me, O Lord, standing in the need of prayer. That’s how this message begins—not with triumph but with honesty. Because forgiveness never starts from strength; it starts from brokenness. Maybe you know that kind of breaking. Someone walked away, someone lied, ...read more
