Revelation 13:11-18 11 Then I saw another beast, coming out of the earth.

Attitude Of Gratitude

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Nov 21, 2025

| 602 views

Paul is urging believers to live out their new identity in Christ by cultivating hearts overflowing with thankfulness. Why? Because gratitude is a response to God’s grace. It reminds us of His faithfulness, aligns our hearts with His will, and demonstrates that we trust in His sovereign goodness.

OPENING ILLUSTRATION: One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people live.

Is There Not A Cause?

Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 5, 2026

God’s word is never idle—it creates purpose and calls for response. Like David, we are not defined by the roles others assign us, but by the word God has spoken over our lives. When that word becomes a cause, faith moves from observation to obedience.

As David stood in the Valley of Elah, the battle between Israel and the Philistines was nearing a breaking point. For forty days, the giant Goliath had stepped forward to issue his challenge, defying the armies of the living God. And for forty days, no one answered him. The silence was not caused ...read more

Part 3: When Praise Is A Protest Series

Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Feb 10, 2026

| 204 views

Your song is a weapon, not just a reaction. We often think of worship as a response to comfort, but the most powerful praise is a rebellion against circumstances. From Habakkuk’s barren fields to Paul and Silas’s midnight jail cell, we examine the "Midnight Mandate."

THE PATTERN INTERRUPT Here's what we've been taught about praise. We sing when life is good. We worship when circumstances cooperate. We lift our voices when we feel like it. That's conditional worship. That's circumstantial faith. And that's not what the Bible teaches. In ...read more

In Joel 2:12-17, the prophet renews his impassioned plea to return unto the Lord through a call for repentance. This call has two facets in first a 1) Personal (Joel 2:12–14) then a 2) Corporate response (Joel 2:15–17) to God.

Joel 2:12–17. 12 “Yet even now,” declares the LORD, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; 13 and rend your hearts and not your garments.” Return to the LORD your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love; and he ...read more

The impulse to follow God originates with God, but it’s our responsibility to follow. We are told throughout the Bible that we’re to seek the Lord. As we purpose to follow hard after God, He upholds and strengthens us as seen in the Psalmist description of a deer in search for water.

John Eats The Little Book

We see in John’s actions indications for what God desires His church to know and do: [1] feast on His Word; [2] understand the two-fold effect of God’s Word (bitter-sweet); [3] take the responsibility to pray & study & preach His Word.
