Peace: The Gift Of Peace Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 23, 2012

God's peace is relational, not circumstantial. It is active and not passive. The Lord actively dispenses peace to those who minds are stayed upon Him. So keep our focus on Him and keep on praying.

Intellectuals And Yokes

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jun 15, 2016

There are many intellectuals who believe themselves to be beyond believing in "simple-minded" Christianity. Is the Gospel found in the Bible just a myth that needs to be reinvented, or, is it the Truth, the whole Truth and nothing but the Truth?

Spiritual Healing Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 31, 2021

So much sickness is psychosomatic, that is, it is in the body but caused by a mind filled with guilt. The cause is spiritual, and so a real healing must also be spiritual. This can only come from Christ.

Opportunity not only knocks, but sometimes it even breaks the door down, but still we miss it. Such was the case in the sad story of the great Viennese surgeon Dr. Lorenz.

Let God Be Judge Series

Contributed by Paul Barreca on Jul 7, 2014

One of the characteristics of a worldly minded Christian is a judgmental spirit. This sermon draws a distinction between speaking the truth about sin, and lifting ourselves up as the judge over other people's behavior.

Rearranging The Problem

Contributed by Daniel Olukoya on Apr 9, 2009
