Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 1, 2021

Delegate And All For God's Glory Series

Contributed by Paul Clemente on Jul 16, 2018

Moses took on too much responsibilty and was oblivious to the problem!

Jethro was so excited about God that he joined the Hebrews in the dessert to be closer with God! Jethro loved God. We read in Exodus 18:11-12 how ...read more

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 29, 2012

Why We Don't Support Abortion

Contributed by Wayne Solomon on Feb 3, 2020

ABORTION – A POEM From the Baby's Perspective They don't know I can hear them, as they argue once again. My Mom and Dad are yelling, saying, 'what if it's a sin?' I hear my Father pacing, as he walks across the room, But, I am safe and cozy here inside my Mother's womb.

Measure Upon Measure – Guilt And Shame – The Restoration Of God - Part 2 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 19, 2025

Guilt and shame flowed from Adam’s sinful disobedience, and has passed to all, making men sinful cowards. Gloriously, the Lord identified with our guilt and shame, becoming the guilty One and enduring the shame of the cross. We will see how God has brought us into glory.

Feet First: Moving From 'wait-And-See' To 'step-And-Seize'

Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Dec 29, 2025

We spend too much time praying for doors to open and not enough time walking toward them. This sermon provides three physical actions to take during the New Year crossover to ensure you don't just "watch" the year happen, but you "occupy" the promises God has for you.

Most people approach the New Year like a spectator at a swimming pool they stand on the edge, shivering, dipping a toe in to see if the "water" of the coming year is warm enough to jump. They wait for a sign, a feeling, or a "word" before they make a move. But as we stand at the ...read more

Inner Nature

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Oct 7, 2025

The inner man or inner nature has so much power to destroy people and take away the kingdom of God from them. It can cause one to fall on his or her way from this earth to heaven. All of you who have the opportunity to read this write-up should set aside time to fast and pray concerning this matter.

God created us perfectly, in His own image. He created us to be godly, and 1 Tim 6:6 says godliness with contentment is great gain. God created us to be like Him, but the enemy came and messed us up. Jesus described Satan as a liar and chief of liars (a great deceiver), John 8:44 This murderer and ...read more

The God Who Answers By Fire Series

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jul 15, 2025

1 Kings 18 is a divine call to revival. When a nation turns away from God, He raises voices like Elijah—bold, prayerful, and uncompromising. The God who answers by fire is still alive today. He is calling His people back to the altar, back to pure worship, and back to a place of total surrender.
