Sermons on Self Assessment:

The More The Word The Less The Meaning.

Contributed by Bola Folakemi Praise on May 18, 2020

Believers are created to emulate Jesus; we are to be like him in all our ways, that is why we are being called Christians; that is, we are Christ like.

When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. 4 Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. 5 Likewise, the tongue is a small part ...read more

Not Our Way, But God’s Way

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 22, 2022

Though the Lord had led them out of perilous situations, and taken care of all their needs, the Israelites were still hesitant to trust in the Lord wholeheartedly. While Moses kept the promise of God at the forefront the people kept themselves ahead of everything else.

For today’s meditation we will read Deuteronomy 1:21, “See, the LORD your God has set the land before you. Go up, take possession, as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has told you. Do not fear or be dismayed.'” (ESV) These were the words of Moses to the people of Israel. When the Lord ...read more

God Love.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Feb 11, 2024

Love is a verb, it’s a word of action. The actress Joan Crawford once said “Love is a fire but whether it warms your heart or burns your house down, you can never tell!”

God Love. Psalm 103:8-13 The reason I named this, God love, is because you have to know God love, before you can love God and others appropriately. If you’re ‘one’ that says, “I know God loves me but….” Until you truly understand that nothing can separate you from Gods love, confusion dominates. ...read more
