    Peter struggled just like each of us struggle with our faith but one glorious day we will receive wings and fly.

    Matthew 16:13-20 Without the Struggle, There Are No Wings A family brought in two cocoons that were about to hatch. They watched as the first one began to open and the butterfly inside squeezed very slowly and painfully through a tiny hole that it chewed in one end of the cocoon. After lying ...read more

    You might say we get God’s heart in our hearts. What greater encouragement could there be? And we can expect the infusion of God’s Spirit in our hearts will result in a change in how we behave toward each other. For the fruit of the Spirit is love.

    Colossians 2 1I want you to know how hard I am contending for you and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have not met me personally. 2 My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may ...read more

    A Living Dog Is Better Than A Dead Lion Series

    Contributed by Olusegun Ayobami Sanni on Jan 8, 2018
     | 17,297 views

    There is hope for everyone of us because “when there is life, there is hope” and a dead person, whatever important and noble he could have been cannot change anything.

    Introduction: Dog was one of the most an unclean and despicable creature to the Jews; but a living one is better than a lion that is dead already. The most despicable living man’s state is preferable to that of the mot noble that has died impenitent. Thus it is better to be a live coward than a ...read more

    Do Not Lost Heart 1) Your Lord fights for you. 2) Your Lord fights through you.

    They shook with fear every time he came out to challenge them. And who could blame them? How would you like to face a nine-foot giant in a duel to the death? This giant carried a spear whose brass tip alone weighed 18 lbs. That’s as heavy as eight hymnals. Even if you could pick up eight ...read more

    One Against Thousand!

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Sep 16, 2013
     | 4,182 views

    Do not feel insignificant, small or wormy and curl yourself inside a shell like a snail; look not at the circumstances but meditate the Word that says, ‘One man of you puts to flight a thousand’, and take courage!

    One against thousand! Joshua 23:10 “One man of you puts to flight a thousand, since it is the LORD your God who fights for you, just as He promised you.” One single man stood boldly against the atrocities towards the black in South Africa and brought about terrific changes. Nelson ...read more

    Funeral - Sudden Heart Attack

    My friend, Jon had many health issues and died suddenly of a heart attack. Sudden heart attack is a real pandemic in America.

    In preparation for funeral services I often ask people if their loved one had a favorite bible passage or bible story that I can share. Most don’t have one, but when I asked Linda she immediately said, “Joshua 1:9.” Joshua 1:9 (ESV) 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be ...read more

    Helen Keller said, “"I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do."

    El Peligro De Los Mega-Ídems

    Contributed by Byron Perrine on Apr 22, 2020
     | 1,593 views

    En este discurso, he reelaborado varios sermones de otros predicadores con un énfasis ligeramente diferente basado en la traducción de la versión inglesa contemporánea de Mateo 16: 23, a saber: «estás en el camino porque piensas como todos los demás... ».

    Comparar una variedad de versiones bíblicas puede ser muy útil, y dado el hecho de que los textos originales del Nuevo Testamento fueron escritos en una antigua forma del griego, es difícil extraer el significado exacto del texto y transferirlo al inglés. A través de la ...read more

    A New Year is always an exciting time for us. WHY? Because last year was not a BANNER YEAR FOR MANY!

    A New Year is also exciting because the past year brought many difficult times into people’s lives. It was a year when: • Some suffered a divorce • Some suffered a financial setback • Some suffered some serious health problems So a New Year is a time when people can put all these bad things behind ...read more

    Preaching From Philippians #3

     | 1,963 views

    In the last sermon, we dealt with Paul stating that whether he lived or died, his purpose for living was for the Lord Jesus.

    When he wrote to the Philippian church, he was in prison. In prison he knew that he faced a capital crime and that he might be executed. If you were in prison and you thought that you might die, what kind of letter would you write? We do not have to guess at what kind of letter the Apostle Paul ...read more

     | 1,444 views

    In the previous sermon we talked about Elijah, who was Elisha’s predecessor.

    We learned that Elisha followed Elijah everywhere he went. Elisha followed Elijah from Gilgal to Beth-el, to Jericho, to Jordan. Elijah asked Elisha to “Tarry here...” three times, but every time Elisha would say, “...As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee...” Elijah, ...read more

    Safe In The Arms Of God

    God’s children are secure. They are secure because of the hills we look to; the help we look for; and the eyes we look with. God himself is our hill of protection, God himself is the help we look for and the eyes of faith are the eyes with look with.

    Sermon: Safe in the Arms of God Ps 121:1 “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 2 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. 3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. 4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall ...read more

    Don’t Stop: The Challenge Amid The Pandemic

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Dec 29, 2021
     | 4,807 views

    This sad account of the people of God finds them at one of the lowest points in their rich history. I would like to suggest to you that there is a message of hope hidden in the text and a challenge to keep on keeping on.

    Subject: Don’t Stop: The Challenge Amid a Pandemic Text: Psalm 137:1-6 “By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that ...read more

    Toughen Up

    Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Jan 6, 2025

     | 7,682 views

    Proverbs 24:10 The message Bible says, if you fall to pieces in a crisis, there wasn't much to you in the first place. The intent of that verse is not to condemn us for being weak, but to exhort to toughen up, to stir us up to the action of building ourselves up in the Lord.

    Proverbs 24:10 KJV If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small. Proverbs 24:10 MSG If you fall to pieces in a crisis, there wasn't much to you in the first place. I am sensing something in my spirit that may not make sense in the natural, but that is usually how the prophetic ...read more
