    The Burden Loader And The Burden Bearer

    Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Jul 26, 2022
     | 3,656 views

    Satan is an unforgiving taskmaster. He loads his subjects with heavy yokes and sits on top them. Jesus is a burden bearer. He takes away the burden of his children and carries and cares for them.

    TEXT: Isaiah 46:1-2 "Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages were heavy loaden; they are a burden to the weary beast. They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into ...read more

    Already Branded

     | 2,256 views

    Madison Avenue is not what God uses to build His Church. He has branded His own. He does not need us to market Him, but we may get to bear His marks as He leads us into His image.

    Are you looking to brand and market your church? If you are truly a church founded by a call of God and a move of the Holy Spirit you are already branded by the blood of Jesus Christ and if the Spirit is moving in your people you need no marketing plan as He will draw people to where He is ...read more

    Jesus told Peter than Satan wanted to sift him like wheat. He would like to defeat us the same way today especially in a pandemic season. Don't let it happen. We do not have to go down under the pressures that come against us.

    Ways to Stay Faithful in a Sifting Season By Dr. Marilyn S. Murphree Jesus told Peter, “Satan has desired to sift you like wheat, but I pray that your faith does not fail.” Confidently Peter said, “Oh, don’t worry about me. I’ll be OK,” but Jesus said, “before the rooster crows ...read more

    If the Apostle Paul were to write a letter to our church today, what would it say? Would it be filled with praise for our faithfulness, or would it include a call to repent and refocus on Christ’s mission

    Someone's Getting a Letter! If the Apostle Paul were on a missionary journey in America today, it's sobering to consider whether our church would receive a letter, and what that letter might say.
