    As the season of Advent begins, many people are preparing for Christmas. That’s good, but ...we are primarily being called in this sermon to be alert, to watch, to be awake, preparing for the return of Jesus. So, are YOU awake ?

    I came across a suggested prayer for all preachers this week, and it goes like this: “Lord, fill my mouth with worthwhile stuff and nudge me when I’ve said enough.” Well, here we go! Are you ready? Are you prepared? Put your hands up if you are ready and prepared ... did you get done yesterday ...read more

    A Godly, Honorable Work Proverbs 14:23 All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty. 12:14 From the fruit of his lips a man is filled with good things as surely as the work of his hands rewards him.

    Elevate To The Next Level - "The People God Uses”

     | 1,031 views

    One of the greatest needs in the church is for people who will not only serve, but who will also lead. It is about those who will invest themselves in the lives of others. I see four examples in Nehemiah’s first actions that separates him, not only as a leader but as a person that God uses.

    Isaiah points out how God became disappointed with those to whom He gave a great privilege. God gave them all that they would ever need so that they could take it, invest it, cultivate it and make it prosperous in a way that God had intended.

    Isaiah 5 Now let me sing to my Well-beloved A song of my Beloved regarding His vineyard: My Well-beloved has a vineyard on a very fruitful hill. 2 He dug it up and cleared out its stones, and planted it with the choicest vine. He built a tower in its midst, and also made a winepress in it; so He ...read more

    Paul Addressing The Ephesian Elders Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 3, 2022
     | 3,047 views

    Paul is ready to pass the baton of leadership to the elders of Ephesus. Paul mentioned he had invested three years at Ephesus. Paul was handing off full responsibility to elders with very little experience. He did need to send Tychicus and then Timothy later to help the elders.

    Background of Paul addressing the elders This discourse of Paul addressing the Ephesian elders takes place near the end of his third journey. He already spent two years at the hall of Tyrannus in Ephesus. He mentions that in total he poured into the elders for three years (Acts 20:31). This exit ...read more

    Even when you get old, you are not a throwaway. God shows us through the life of Caleb that there are many things still worth living for.

    “I Want That Mountain” Joshua 14:6-13 You may have heard the news that Sir Edmund Hilary, the first white man to ever scale to the peak of Mt. Everest, passed away on Friday at the age of 89.

    We are divided into "Have Knots" and "Have Nots". Knot-tied or single, there are relationship principles we must know.

    Knots Pt. 2 - Knot Work We talked about how our relationship status is the number 1 way of categorizing people in our society. We are either a "have knot" or "have no knot".

    The Lord’s Patience Is Only Giving Us Extra Time To Be Saved

    Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on May 17, 2021
     | 2,022 views

    This is an exposition of 2 Peter 3 as we learn not to become swayed by scoffers who cast doubts in our minds about the return of Jesus Christ. Jesus is coming as He promised; what seems like a delay is only a chance for us to repent. In the mean time, we should live godly as we await His return.

    1. In the last days, there will be scoffers (v. 3) 2. The scoffers will be following their own evil (sinful) desires (v. 3) 3. They will mock the promise of the coming of Jesus Christ saying “Where is the promise of His coming?” they will ask. “Ever since our fathers fell asleep, everything ...read more

    Sadly, Christians are some of the most gullible, naïve folks around. Almost every week you read another story about how some trusting Christian was bamboozled by a scam where he gave away his life’s savings in some “sure-fire investment.”
