Daughter Of The Most High

Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Jan 7, 2026

Like the sandalwood tree that imparts its fragrance to the axe that cuts it, a woman can become a blessing to many (even to the one who harms her) through what she has learnt of God in her sorrows!

The beautiful title a woman can have at any time of her life is ‘daughter’. She can rise up to any level with any impressive titles in her whole life. But ‘daughter’ is the title that assures her security, comfort, hope and belonging. When you are confident that you are not only called but are ...read more

The Wonder Of Jesus Accepting Us Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 10, 2013

It’s become fashionable for churches to "target" a specific audience in their messages and ministry. But is that really such a good idea? Is it possible that in targeting specific groups we might be undermining our real ministry?

OPEN: In my files I ran across these nuggets of wisdom from little children: Patrick, age 10 - "Never trust a dog to watch your food." Hannah, age 9 - "When your dad is mad and asks you, ’Do I look stupid?’ don’t answer." Taylia, age 11 - "When your mom is mad at your dad, don’t let her brush ...read more

Come Up Hither.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 4, 2022

Whoever exalts himself shall be abased, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.

COME UP HITHER. Proverbs 25:6-7. This proverb is doubtless what Jesus had in mind when He made His own parable about people choosing the finest seats for themselves at a feast (Luke 14:7-11). There are always ranks in society, any society. Solomon speaks of a king, and of “great men.” ...read more

He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Rich Man And Lazarus) # 18

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 14, 2022
