    Hippolytus Of Rome Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 29, 2022
     | 1,177 views

    Hippolytus was elected as a rival bishop of the Roman Church for a while. For these doctrinal differences and the bishops' relaxing of moral standards, Hippolytus bitterly opposed both bishops and Callistus' successors, Urban and Pontianus.

    Hippolytus of Rome Who was Hippolytus? I have never heard of this man, and for a good reason – He is a Catholic saint; I am a Baptist. However, he has a part to play in the development of the Catholic Church, and I hope this article provides you with enough information that you can answer the ...read more

    Humility

     | 10,244 views

    Ministers are reluctant to preach on humility. How do we promote humility without sounding like we think we’ve attained it? Needless to say, my sermon title isn’t “Humility and how I found it.” We are all "works-in-progress".

    Winston Churchill was reviling a political opponent at a press conference. A reporter interrupted him asking, “But surely, Mr. Churchill, you must admit that he is a humble, modest man?” To which Churchill replied: “He is a humble man, but then he has much to be humble about!” Ministers are ...read more

    The story of Hannah is not well known and today it is given as an alternative reading to the more familiar story of Samuel’s call. So, let us dive into this tale of Hannah.

    Hannah is a young woman, married to Elkanah. But she is not his only wife, Elkanah has another wife called Peninnah. Hannah is his first wife, but she has not been blessed with children, we are told twice that the Lord had “closed her womb” (vs. 5, 6). In contrast to Hannah, Peninnah (whose ...read more

    We should turn our worries into prayers. While we are in prayer and with thanksgiving in our hearts, we should learn to give it to God and leave it there.

    Matthew 6:25-34 closes this piece of the Sermon on the Mount with Jesus teaching about worrying. Indeed, even to the extremely poor, Jesus says not to stress over food or garments. God takes care of the birds and garments the lilies in a beautiful manner, and God’s children are definitely more ...read more

    Are You Of The Truth?

    Contributed by Reggie Corfield on Nov 22, 2024
     | 517 views

    Truth is the very character and essence of God which makes him trustworthy. The word of God and the incarnate word of God (Jesus) is truth. Truth is absolute and timeless. We cannot bend or twist the truth. It does not change from time to time to fit the circumstances.

    When Jesus stood before Pilate, one of the questions Pilate asked was: ““Are you a king, then!” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.” And then in the next verse, ...read more
