    Repentance, as a word, is mostly lost in today culture, along with the words holiness and sin. As a church word, it has lost its meaning over the years. All Scripture references are from the NASB.

    Repentance, as a word, is mostly lost in today culture, along with the words holiness and sin. As a church word, it has lost its meaning over the years.

    Worship Jesus Only

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 13, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,251 views

    When the opinion of men supersedes the opinion of God, we are focusing too much on people; and there are believers who unknowingly worship people. But the only one whom we should be seeking to please and worship is Jesus.

    John once shared the account of some people who had denied Christ for fear of what the Pharisees would think. In John 12:42-43, He said, “Many believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; for they loved the praise of men more ...read more

    The Smiths

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,166 views

    Demetrius “Smith” represents someone whose judgement is clouded by selfish desires. Alexander "Smith" represents someone who doesn't want to be alone in his sin; who makes it a point to cause other Christians to stumble.

    I’ve entitled our message for this evening, “The Smiths.” Have you heard about the Smiths? Take for instance Zipporah Smith. “Who’s that?” you may say. Well, her husband, Moses, was used by God to deliver the Israelites from their bondage in Egypt. You see, Zipporah was a Kenite, and the word ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,870 views

    Approaching the Lord, especially at His communion table, requires reverence and repentance, as taking communion unworthily can lead to judgment. Our true desire should be a maturing relationship with the Lord, continually surrendering to His will and deepening our devotion to Him.

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Jun 21, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 587 views

    In a world of isolation and shallow connection, true belonging is found not through status, performance, or digital affirmation, but through surrendering to Jesus Christ, being born again by the Spirit, and embraced as a beloved child of God, forever known, loved, and secured by the Father.

    Belonging to God in a Broken World Matthew 19:16-26; John 3:1-18, 17:1-11 "In an age of constant connection, we’ve never been more relationally malnourished—because our hearts were made for more than clicks; they were made for communion" There was a time when a person’s identity, ...read more
