"For The Glory Of God" Series

Contributed by David Henderson on Oct 30, 2017

When Martin Luther hung his writings on the door of the church in Wittenberg, 500 years ago, everything in the church changed. This gave man a renewed purpose. Now all that we do is for the glory of God. It is all for God and God alone.

Now I believe that to a point but I think that it is more accurate to say that people repeat the same mistakes in the same choices and the same decisions others have made before them and that’s why history repeats itself. Because ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 28, 2025

In this conclusion of the Dragnet Parable, we look at the Church Age that corresponds with it, and it is ours, the modern age of the church. It has the Laodicean “qualities” of apathy and lukewarmness. The modern church to has lost its direction, but the Lord is still calling for repentance.

I don’t know how many might have followed this series but the whole lot is beautiful as the word of God contains all these treasures. In every Parable, we looked at ...read more

Part 2: The Difference Between Optimism And Faith. Series

Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Feb 5, 2026

Stop reading the thermometer and start being the thermostat. Optimism is a fragile wish that things will get better; Faith is an unshakeable trust in who God is. In Part 2, we explore the "Three Unchangeables" of God’s nature.

THE PATTERN INTERRUPT Some of us have a problem we don't like to admit. Our faith is actually just optimism wearing a disguise. We feel faithful when the economy is up. We feel trusting when the test results look good. We feel close to God when life cooperates. But the second the thermometer ...read more
