    Contributed by Bala Samson on Mar 8, 2023
     | 1,457 views

    Time was short and we couldn’t afford greetings, this is what Jesus meant as greet no one on the way…..

    Greet no one on the way… Luke 10:4 “Carry no money belt, no bag, no shoes; and greet no one on the way.” The words of Jesus ‘greet no one on the way’ kind of intrigued me, so I set off thinking… I would like to start off by sharing my testimony, which God reminded me that I did myself, even ...read more

    Denying Yourself

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024
     | 1,169 views

    Revival revolves around this very notion and directly balances on the denial of ourselves and the cross we carry. Are we ready to take it on? Are we ready to carry our cross?

    Illustration: Passion Season - Jesus enters Jerusalem on a donkey. What is He denying himself? Jesus is in the garden of gethsemane. What is He denying himself? What cup does He choose? Jesus is put on the cross. What is He denying himself? The path is different because it is the path of ...read more

    Temporal? Eternal? My 90 year old dad sang a song from the '40's: 20/20 vision walking around blind. I googled it. Makes me think: DO WE INVEST MORE IN TEMPORAL THINGS THAN ETERNAL? Consider our focus? Investment?

    20/20 VISION, WALKING AROUND BLIND… By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com (This is a two part lesson, or condense) We are learning more and more about less and less until finally we know everything about nothing! I was recently visiting my Dad. Dad is 90 years old. He has ...read more

     | 4,506 views

    It’s easy to identify others as "lost causes". It’s not nearly so easy for us to see ourselves this way. Nevertheless that’s exactly where we need to be, where we’ll want to be; for empty of all our righteousness we cling to Christ and find life.

    Pentecost 3 A Matthew 9:9-13 Our God: The Patron of Lost Causes 06/09/02 Speaking of Lost Causes, take a listen to these stories. In New Orleans, a man broke into a home and stole, some jewelry and took the home owner’s season tickets to the New Orleans Saints. The police arrested him the ...read more
