Apodidomi

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Oct 19, 2023

Jesus teaches a lesson of "rendering" or "giving back" to both our Country (as good citizens) and the Kingdom of God (as good stewards). May we give ourselves fully to God.

WE AGREE WITH PSALM 47:7, THAT “THE LORD IS KING OVER ALL THE EARTH.” WE MAY SHOW RESPECT TO EARTHLY TITLES SUCH AS PRESIDENT, KING, SULTAN, EMIR, SHAH, OR CHANCELLOR, BUT OUR TRUE ALLEGIANCE IS TO GOD AND HIS HEAVENLY KINGDOM. JESUS PROCLAIMED IN JOHN 18:36, “MY KINGDOM IS NOT AN EARTHLY ...read more

Unity Through Prayer

Contributed by Delray Lentz on Oct 31, 2023

I love it when someone calls me or texts me asking me questions about God’s Word. I don’t know all the answers, but I know the One who does! When I get these questions, it helps me grow. I believe it impossible for a church to grow, if the pastor and congregation are not growing in Christ!

Years ago, when Lisa and I joined a church that had just started, I invited some friends to church. They came, and one of them said “now that’s my kind of sermon, 13 minutes long”. Well, it wasn’t the short sermon that hooked him, because they never returned. Today may be the shortest sermon you ...read more

Are You Ready?

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Nov 9, 2023

Are we ready for Jesus? Does He even know us?

Are we prepared for Christ’s Coming? Let’s learn how in the Parable of the Ten Virgins in Matthew 25:1-13. Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. (Matthew 25:1-2 ...read more

THE UNIQUENESS OF JESUS. Hebrews 1:2-3. As we return to Hebrews 1:1-4, I want to emphasise that the first four verses in the book of Hebrews are all one sentence.

8 Reasons Why People Leave The Church

Contributed by Sheryln Miller on Apr 11, 2019

Are you surprised when you hear that a once faithful Christ follower has turned away from the faith and now doubts whether scripture is true or not? If you are like me, you wonder how this happens but then you remember this is nothing new. Apostasy appears throughout the bible.

In Hebrews 6:4-5 the writer notes some will turn away from the gospel although they once tasted the good Word and received the Holy Spirit. Jesus knew we would be tempted to turn away from the truth but He reminds us to remain faithful to the end (end of our lives) if we want to receive the ...read more

The Solemnity Of The Most Holy Trinity

Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 7, 2023

In Latin: Esse deus dare: To be God is to give.

Someone once said, “If you deny the Trinity, you will lose your soul. If you try understanding the Trinity, you will lose your mind.” For example, have you ever heard of "Trinitarian math"? Normal math is 1+1+1=3. But Trinitarian math is 1+1+1=1. As the Nicene Creed begins, “I believe ...read more

The Most Powerful Institution On Earth

Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Jul 4, 2022

There are many powerful institutions on earth, but one of the most powerful is the body of Christ - the Church. If the body of true believers in Christ can unite as one, there is no institution on earth that can withstand the church of Christ.

TEXT: Matthew 16:18-19 "And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

The Transfiguration: A Preview Of Christ’s Glory (Matthew 17)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 6, 2026

Peter, James, and John, the” inner circle” of Jesus’ disciples, saw Christ in His Divine persona, with Moses and Elijah, “the Law and the Prophets” by His side, representing the whole of Scripture and a preview of His redemptive mission.

Verses 1-13: J. Vernon McGee, teacher and author of the “Through the Bible” commentary, called the transfiguration of the Lord Jesus Christ a “miniature” portrait of the Kingdom of God, later confirmed by Simon Peter in his second letter to the churches (2 Peter 1: 16-18). Dr. W.A. ...read more

Pray for strength and dress appropriate as you enter the battlefield.
