    Running Your Race

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Sep 14, 2022
     | 4,991 views

    In this life, every single person is running a race. It’s either a race that will lead to an eternity with Jesus or it’s a race that will separate them from Jesus.

    Turn with me to Hebrews 12 and look at the last part of verse one: “… let us run with patience the race that is set before us.” Each one of us is running a race. And many of us don’t know it. Whether we are sons of God on our way to an eternity with our Father, or whether we are sons of Adam ...read more

Matthew 19:16 Someone came to Jesus with this question: “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?” 17 “Why ask me about what is good?”Jesus replied.“There is only One who is good.

    Courage To Overcome Series

    If you knew that you had the assurance of a new life, eternal life with God, a hope that could not be disappointed, prayers that would be answered in accordance with God’s will, you will have a joy that no one can take and a peace that passes all understanding.

    We are at the end of John 16 today and as Jesus is preparing to leave this earth and return to His Father in heaven, He is making sure that His disciples will be well equipped for their mission. Jesus has given them the promise of the Holy Spirit which assured them of several things: ? that they ...read more

    There is nothing more powerful than the words of God. The words of God can impart eternal life and take you to heaven. Knowing the word of God, taking up the sword of the Spirit is the only offensive weapon that we are given. We fight the devil knowing the word of God and authoritative prayer.

    But if you concentrate, pay attention, you will all really realise that all through these years even you failed to understand the real hidden blessings in the Bible.

    As I was growing in the knowledge of Bible, whenever I came across this phrase I used to think Jesus used this phrase in a sarcastic way. But today when I read this phrase I really mean, that I had failed to understand the heart of Jesus in using this phrase. Today also many must be wondering why ...read more

    Though we were delivered from sin, most of us continue to listen to the voice of Satan. We are deceived by him, we believe what he says, and we are entertained by his schemes. That does not need to be the case

    Dr. Bradford Reaves Crossway Christian Fellowship Hagerstown, MD www.mycrossway.org We just finished a series in the Sermon on the Mount, and if you remember, Jesus started his sermon by listing the Beatitudes for the Kingdom of Heaven.

    In fact if we are really trying our best to follow Jesus, there are times it seems we could say, “The devil wouldn't let me do it.” Let's be sure about this, the devil's power is limited. But even the apostle Paul said that the devil got in his way and caused his plans to change.

     | 618 views

    This sermon from Matthew 13 reminds us that while the Word of God and the Sower never change, the fruitfulness of our lives depends entirely on the condition of our hearts—whether they are hardened, shallow, crowded, or humble and receptive to the transforming truth of Christ.

    The Soil of the Heart Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23 To hear and truly understand the words of our Creator is no simple task. This is the One who knit us together in our mother’s womb. Who recorded every moment of our lives before one of them came to be. Who holds together the seen and unseen, past, ...read more

    Pastors equip the saints for the work of ministry and for building up the body of Christ. This involves guiding their flock to pursue their divine purpose, thereby fulfilling the Great Commission: empowering people to share the Gospel and live out their faith with passion and purpose.

    The Road To Rest

    Contributed by Terry Hovey on Feb 19, 2025
     | 563 views

    Jesus calls us to come and rest in Him. That word "Come" is a call to all who are weary and heavy-laden to come to Him. It's a compound word that means "here" and "come"--so, Jesus is giving His call to "Come here", to "Come here to Me!"

    The Road to Rest Matthew 11:25-30 John Bunyan's classic analogy of the Christian life, Pilgrim's Progress follows the journey of the main character named Christian as he travels from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City, which describes the spiritual journey of a Christian towards ...read more

    Is it not true that in the quiet of our hearts, we often seek a deeper connection with God? Let us learn to listen as His voice calls, bringing wisdom and hope, illuminating our paths, and nurturing our souls.

    When chaos floods our lives, God still reigns—turning confusion into calm as we trust Him to fight our battles.

    When the phone rings at midnight and all you hear is running water instead of a voice—that’s chaos. A friend told me once, “I woke up to the sound of my house drowning.” A pipe had burst under the sink. Water was gushing across the kitchen floor, soaking into the cabinets, pouring toward the ...read more
