    Whatever Happened To Repentance? Series

    Contributed by Doug Fannon on Feb 28, 2022
     | 3,595 views

    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. We hear the word, “but what,” we may ask, “has it do with me?” Everything. We are called to be much more kind, and gentle, not wanting to ...read more

    The Prophecy In The Upper Room

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 19, 2022
     | 1,499 views

    Questions abound as to whether the Lord Jesus was referring to the Rapture in John 14:1-3 and later taught by the apostle Paul in his letters to the churches at Corinth and Thessalonia. It is an issue worth examining.

    The Synoptic Gospels, the writings of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, with their similarities in content and narrative all present the apocalyptic teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ as He met with His disciples across from the city of Jerusalem upon the Mount of Olives. Each Gospel tells of troubling ...read more

    The Sodom and nearby cities refer to the prospered persons keep sinning with complacency. God is a righteous judge. He will retribute according to the deeds of everyone. The habitual offenders will not be spared by God. Judgement awaits.

    Jude 1:7-8 - Sodom and Gomorrah Jude 1:7-8: “just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire” (NASB). “In the same way ...read more

    The Proof Of Extravagant Grace

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Apr 16, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 502 views

    Grace is the unearned, undeserved, and unmerited favour of God. When it is described as extravagant, it refers to the overwhelming, boundless, and radical nature of God’s mercy that reaches the worst of sinners and restores them to sonship.

    THE PROOF OF EXTRAVAGANT GRACE By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Luke 15:11–24 "And he said, A certain man had two sons: And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. And not many days after the ...read more

    Build On A Sure Foundation

     | 3,757 views

    Notice, Jesus doesn't use bricks to build His church. He uses people. Imperfect people at that. We are those transgressors and sinners that are referred to at the first of this chapter.

    Alba 2-26-2023 BUILD ON A SURE FOUNDATION Ephesians 2:19-22 Here is a brick. I suppose you figured that out. Originally I used this brick with others and some boards and made a book case about five shelves high. It wasn't very steady, but it worked for me when I was single and no children ...read more

     | 1,024 views

    The fifty-third chapter of the book of Isaiah is one of the clearest pictures of the person and mission of God's Servant, the Promised Messiah. It is often referred to as "The other gospel".

    "BEHOLD, My Servant shall deal prudently. He shall be exalted and extolled and be very high. Just as many were astonished at you, so His visage was marred more than any man, and His form more than the sons of men, so shall He sprinkle many nations.

    It's Not That Complex!

     | 6,564 views

    We often have a tendency to mask our failure to love others by referring to it as a “complex issue”. It’s not true. Jesus shows us how utterly simple the issue actually is.

    “It’s A LONG STORY; A COMPLEX ISSUE; A GRAY AREA”. You have heard statements like this haven’t you? Perhaps you used them yourself. Phrases like this are often used as a way to bring an end to a discussion. More often then not, those who say them are trying to bring an end to a ...read more

    The inclusiveness expressed in verse 20 reveals that, although He was referring to His disciples in particular in verses 13-19, He expanded His intercession to include all the church throughout time.

    Throughout the Gospels we find references to Jesus’ work of redemption, and often we read, “His hour had not yet come.” But now it was at hand. These words of Jesus were prayed in the shadow of the cross.

    “The Time Has Come” Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts “These things Jesus spoke; and lifting up His eyes to Heaven, He said, ‘Father, the time has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son may glorify You’.” (John 17:1) “Some people pray by the yard; but ...read more
