Seeds Of Discord

It is a sad thought to know that that there is a lot of gossip going on in the church that causes or creates a lot of tension. We must be watch out for them that will try to cause the unity and the harmony to be disrupted.

Romans 16:17 We are living in times when the enemy is viciously attacking the Church. It doesn't matter what devices he may use he will do what it takes. He comes not but to kill, steal, and to destroy. He is seeking your demise and wishes bad for you. One of the weapons in his arsenal is ...read more

Nothing You Can Do To Make God Love You More Or Less

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Sep 25, 2024

Recently I have been hearing quite a few pastors using a quote from Henri Nouwen a Dutch Catholic priest that states, “There is nothing we can do to make God love us more and nothing we can do to make God love us less.” Is that true? Let's see what God's Word has to say about it.

Do you have a Bible? I was once told that in a simple Bible with no maps, no apocrypha and no commentary you would find the Psalms in the center of the Bible. So, I thought maybe it would be Psalm 119 since it has 174 verses and is the longest chapter in the Bible. However, in my Bible it turns out ...read more

Sermon # 18 - Peace-Makers Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 18, 2024

Jonah’s disobedience to God resulted in total chaos and turmoil for all aboard the ship. God’s call to His children is to be peace-makers wherever we are. The word of God cautions those who cause disunity and discord of serious consequences.

We read in Jonah 1:15, “And they lifted Jonah up and threw him out into the sea; and the sea ceased from its raging.” (AFV) The background to this verse is that a sea-voyage which commenced peacefully, with the hopes of a tranquil journey, was suddenly confronted with a furious and violent storm. ...read more

If God Is Love, Why Did He Hate Esau?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Nov 4, 2024

“Yet I have loved Jacob, but Esau I have HATED, and I have turned his mountains into a wasteland and left his inheritance to the desert jackals’” (Malachi 1:2-3 NIV - emphasis mine)

The Bible is very clear that God’s essence is love (1 John 4:7-10). He has always been love, even before He created the first human beings. He has always sought to have a close relationship with them because they were made for this love. The entire story of humanity is wrapped up within it. Love is ...read more
