    Nehemiah has to face the challenges of doing something he was not familiar with but it is the will of God. He has to inspect the wall, motivate the people and contend with the oppositions.

    We had a remarkable breakthrough in chapter 2 when Nehemiah was granted the opportunity to see the King, after 4 months of praying and waiting. • Even with all that praying, it wasn’t a simple thing for Nehemiah to seek the King’s favour. He was very much afraid (2:2). • Imagine asking for leave ...read more

    Some time back, our denomination’s District Executive minister wanted to get to know me, since I was a new minister in the region. He wanted to treat me to an authentic southern breakfast, so he took me out to a Cracker Barrell Country Store. He ordered “Grits.”

    “Jesus’ Keynote Address” Luke 4:14-21 If you could choose the words that might encapsulate who you are, the words that you would use to communicate the essence of yourself, your life, your commitments—what would they be?

    How To Worship

    Contributed by Alvan Lewis on Sep 21, 2020

    God has given everyone of us something very special to worship Him with. Here we are given instructions on how to do that.

    It has 60 trillion cells most of which are dying. It has an on-board computer which functions at only 6%. It smells peculiar; it reproduces in a very strange way; it ingests dead animals and excretes fertilizer. It takes in oxygen and exhales a poisonous gas. It is subject to all manners of ...read more

    Thanks-Giving Selected Scriptures Introduction- This morning we are only a few days away from a lot of people suffering from over-eating and blaming the turkey we ate as the reason we had to take an all day nap on Thanksgiving.

    How do we fulfill our God-given mission?

    In Acts 10:38, Peter described the life of Jesus by saying, “He went about doing good . . .” If one were to describe the life of many Christians today, however, he would have to say, “He simply went about!” Sadly, too many believers have lost sight of our primary purpose ...read more

    Embracing God’s Promise Of Hope Series

     | 4,125 views

    The Lord gives us remedy for doubts that creep in about His ability to help or His concern to help when we are in a great crisis. God addresses His people, those redeemed by his grace to look away from their crisis (and doubts about Him) and embrace the facts about Him and the Hope they bring.

    Sermon: Embracing God’s Promise of Hope Scripture: Isaiah 40:27-31 “O Jacob, how can you say the Lord does not see your troubles? O Israel, how can you say God ignores your rights? 28 Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He ...read more

    Present And Prevent: In View Of The Lord’s Mercies

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jul 19, 2023
     | 1,158 views

    Romans 12 has two important commands for each and every believer. Paul gave two of them in the first two verses.

    Introduction: Paul’s letter to the Romans is a classic piece of Scripture. Alva J, McClain and perhaps others noted how Paul made four basic divisions: condemnation, salvation, vindication, and exhortation. Chapter 12 begins the final section and indeed begins with a word of exhortation to these ...read more
