    Building Godly Character

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Nov 1, 2025
     | 312 views

    Our culture often tells us to avoid suffering at any cost, to seek pleasure and ease above all else. Paul declares with the authority of heavenly insight that suffering is not without purpose. In God's kingdom, character is currency.

    In our culture of non-committal this message encourages us to look trouble, trials, difficulties in the face and not compromise or be moved from the will of God for our lives. Instead of running from trouble, we run to Jesus and find His strength and grac

    based on 8 ratings
     | 2,234 views

    James’readers must have been amazed when he told them to count it all joy when they fall into trials. James was not kidding and explained how trials can be a friend and not a foe.

    YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING! James 1:2-11 There are times in life when you hear something that sounds so outlandish that your first remark is "You have to be kidding!" You think that what the person is telling you has to be a joke or a lie, but certainly not the truth. This had to be the thoughts of ...read more

    God has called us to be constantly fanning the spiritual flames inside us, and it is up to us to train ourselves to make the Spiritual Disciplines part of our routine, or lifestyle. This sermon is a variation on my "Pursuing Purity" teaching.

    Be Led By The Spirit

    Contributed by Jeff Van Wyk on May 25, 2013
     | 4,022 views

    We need to be open to the leading of God’s Spirit. We can so easily be bound by religion and follow rules that are either man-made or man-interpreted.

    Be led by the Spirit Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Peter was bound by religion and in order for him to be open to change, God showed him a vision of unclean animals that descended from heaven.

    Why would people be unhappy to see Jesus? He taught love for all people, forgiveness of enemies, kindness, gentleness, and meekness. He suffered and submitted himself to punishment. There may be two reasons, and probably many more.

    Look! He is coming with the clouds, and all eyes will see him, even those who pierced Him, and will all the tribes of the earth wail because of him. Even so, Amen. “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, says the Lord God, who was and is and is coming, the Almighty.” -Revelation ...read more
