    The Great Reversal

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Aug 24, 2025
     | 129 views

    In God's Kingdom, our true identity and reason for rejoicing are found not in our financial status, which is temporary and fragile, but in our eternal position in Christ, which is permanent and secure.

    Introduction: The Status Game Our world is obsessed with a game, and it’s a game we are all forced to play from the moment we are old enough to understand it. It’s the status game. We measure ourselves and we measure each other constantly, don't we? We notice the car someone drives into the ...read more

    How To Keep Your Vision Alive

    Contributed by Benjamin Suulola on Mar 13, 2023
     | 4,003 views

    It takes a God-like vision to make positive difference, bring transformation and to impact our generation for the Lord. But having a God-given vision is not important as being able to keep the vision alive.

    Vision is simply the ability to see what God is doing and the role apportioned to you in bringing it to reality. Your God-given vision is one of the most important reasons for your living. When there is no vision of God to be accomplished with one's life, the purpose of living becomes ...read more

     | 5,832 views

    This message discusses the consequences of a negative attitude by looking at a huge mistake made by the Israelites. A positive attitude, or faith, is the very thing that will carry us into receiving what God intends for our life.

    I remember one time walking into a Cracker Barrel restaurant and seeing on a shelf in their Country Store a book called Worst-Case Scenarios. When I first saw this book I thought it was sad that someone could make money by selling a book that contained people’s worst nightmares. I wondered who ...read more

    The Pride Of Thine Heart Will Bring Thee Down

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 4, 2022
     | 1,464 views

    Edom was proud of its accomplishments, but in the long run, God would bring her down. Whether they are a nation, a business, a church, or a family, those in positions of authority should not be overly self-assured.

    Obadiah is the shortest book of the Bible. It is titled The Vision of Obadiah as it prophesies the judgment to fall on the nation of Edom. The Edomites were descendants of Esau which made them related to the children of Israel (Genesis 25:19-27:45). Because of Edom's defiance of God, their ...read more

    Not every act of kindness pays ; it doesn’t always turn out to be profitable. In fact, often times kindness costs us something. But it is fulfilling, it is commanded, and it’s an important attribute of love.

    June 5th 2016 Seaford Christian Church (Homecoming) Express Kindness Luke 8: 40 – 56 I heard about a woman who had just cashed her income tax return check, and as she was standing at a bus stop a man went over to a poorly dressed man, whispered something in his ear, and handed him some money.

    The other day, my son was visiting his fiancee, and heard a noise outside. It sounded a bit like thunder. So he went out to investigate. There he found a mess.

    We are called to follow Jesus, not seek a position. The 3 principles of ’followership’ is (1) hear His call, (2) lay down your own agenda, and (3) fix your eyes on Jesus.
