The Stain Of Sin

Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Feb 22, 2022

Sin is like a stubborn stain. It is difficult to remove. Money and earthly sacrifices cannot remove sin. The stain of sin can only be washed off with the blood of Jesus.

TEXT: PSALMS 51:1, 14-17 (NLT). "Have mercy on me, O God, because of your unfailing love. Because of your great compassion, blot out the stain of my sins...

Peter Teaches Us To Walk On Water

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Aug 11, 2023

Peter's attempt at walking on water shows us two powerful lessons about our own faith!

FAITH REQUIRES FEARLESSNESS! FAITH CALLS FOR US TO PUT AWAY OUR FEARS AND TO EMBRACE RADICAL OBEDIENCE SO THAT WE CAN TAKE OUR FIRST STEPS AWAY FROM “SELF” AND HEAD IN THE DIRECTION GOD WANTS TO LEADS US. FAITH EXPECTS US TO ABANDON SELF, HUMAN UNDERSTANDING, LOGIC, DOUBT, AND DISTRACTIONS. OUR ...read more

The Power Of Forgiveness By Pst. Joseph Ondu

Contributed by Joseph Ondu on May 2, 2024

But when we choose to forgive, we break free from that cycle. We release ourselves from the burden of anger and resentment, and we open ourselves up to healing and reconciliation. When we forgive, we let go of the past and make room for a brighter future.

The Power of Forgiveness Introduction: Today, I want to talk to you about a subject that is close to the heart of God and essential for our own spiritual well-being — forgiveness. The power of forgiveness is one of the most profound aspects of the Christian faith. It's not just a nice idea; ...read more

Thirty-First Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year A- Hypocrites

Sibling Jealousy: James' (Eventual) Turning To Jesus

Contributed by Jessica Linde on Sep 1, 2024

By considering how sibling relationships can often be contentious, this sermon's ultimate message is that we can't rule out God's ability to radically change people's hearts, because He ultimately radically changed the heart of James the "brother" of Jesus.

Have any of you made it as far into the watching The Chosen as season 3…? Okay, a handful of you. That’s okay. I promise no spoilers from me today! Well… I mean… we do know how the Gospel stories conclude (with Christ’s death, resurrection, and ascension), so I guess the biggest spoiler is already ...read more

The Gaurdian Jehosheba Series

Contributed by Charles Payne on Oct 15, 2025

Jehosheba’s name barely appears in Scripture, but her act altered history. She wasn’t a prophet like Elijah, or a warrior like David — she was a guardian.

THE GAURDIAN JEHOSHEBA TEXT (2 Kings 11:1–3; 2 Chronicles 22:10–12) “But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Jehoram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king’s sons which were slain; she hid him… even him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah, ...read more

It Is Finished – The Loudest Whisper

Contributed by Michael Hobday on May 13, 2025

The loudest victory in history was spoken in a whisper: “It is finished.”

How To Know That You Are In The Light

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Jun 14, 2025

You know you are in the light if you do not harbor hatred against anyone. 1 John 2:9 says, “He who says he is in the light and hates his brother, is in darkness until now.” Hatred is a poisonous heart condition that makes us treat others as enemies.

Song: I have the light of God in me /2x I have the spirit of the Son of God I have the light of God in me. This is one of the choruses we sing as Christians. Let us think through this song and measure ourselves against the scale of the word of God. Let us read 1 John 2:7-11, which ...read more
