    One interesting truth of scriptures is that the invisible God can be seen. The bible says that 'Moses endured as seeing Him who is invisible' (Hebrews 11:27). But how can someone who is invisible been seen?

    We live in a world with thousands of voices of distraction. All trying to push their own agenda. Only one voice truly has our best interest at heart. How do we pull that voice out from the noise?

    Distracted! Are You Listening? We live in a time with more distractions then ever • And we love it that way… keep me entertained/ quietness = boredom in many people’s minds • Let there be a few moments of silence and out comes our little distraction boxes (phones) • Google/Alexa/Siri, Entertain ...read more

    This sermon aims to inspire us to seek and embrace God's new vision and renewed interest in His works. As we navigate the post-pandemic world, how can we welcome the new things God has in store for us?

    In these challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is crucial for us to seek a fresh vision and renewed interest in God's plans. How can we embrace the new things that God wants to do in our lives? Isaiah 43:18-19 says, "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new ...read more

    Hope In The Last Days Series

    Contributed by Patrick Nix on Oct 22, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,435 views

    People don’t wear parachutes because they are comfortable, they wear them for security. So many Christians today have ditched their parachute because it didn’t bring them happiness on the flight of life. God is not near as interested in pacifying or pleas

    So much of what we call hope is temporary. It is fleeting. At most, it lasts in this life only. Paul said (1 Cor. 15:19) that if Christ brings a temporary hope only, we are the most miserable of men on the planet. I would agree. Most people don’t wear parachutes because they are ...read more

     | 9,329 views

    A look at spiritual warfare, based not on the popular ideas on the subject, but on the biblical text.

    I am sure that nearly all of us are aware that our country, though not in a declared war, is still fighting two campaigns half a world away. What these campaigns have in common is that the enemy, while defeated, is still waging a war of insurgency against our troops and against our ...read more

    Do you know any "Very Draining People" who say things that set you on edge, & you’re convinced that they enjoy doing it?

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER CENTRAL CHRISTIAN, BROWNSVILLE A. Do you know any VDPs, "Very Draining People?" They’re the kind who say things that set you on edge, & you’re convinced that they enjoy doing it? They come into your home & say, "Where did you find that ...read more

    Giving Love To Get Love

    based on 404 ratings
     | 26,508 views

    "Love One Another" is repeated again and again throughout the pages of the New Testament. Why dwell so heavily on this command when it would seem there is so much more to learn about God?

    OPEN: "That’s marvelous, having a lion and monkey in the same cage," said the visitor to a small zoo. "How do they get along?" "Okay, usually," answered the zookeeper. "Occasionally they have a disagreement, and we have to get a new monkey." APPLY: Now, why do they need to get a new monkey? ...read more

    The Secret Of Spiritual Power

    Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Apr 3, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 491 views

    Christians today are encouraged to seek more power, more anointing, and more gifts. Indeed, as the Lord calls us back to the Cross to become disciples of Jesus, He intends to first humble us before empowering us.

    The basic need of a disciple of Jesus Christ is not seeking for more power from God, but more brokenness. Apostle Paul says in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 “Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in ...read more

    Fear Of Failure Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Apr 11, 2025
     | 346 views

    As believers, we must recognise that failure is not final, and it is certainly not fatal when God is involved. We are called to live by faith and not by fear.

    FEAR OF FAILURE By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 2 Timothy 1:7 “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” Supporting Texts: Joshua 1:9, Isaiah 41:10, Romans 8:15, Philippians 4:13, Matthew 25:24-30 INTRODUCTION: The fear of failure is a ...read more

     | 336 views

    Shyness and timidity may seem like harmless traits, but they can hinder the believer’s full expression of God’s purpose.

    Guilt And Shame Series

    Contributed by Robert Butler on Nov 7, 2024
     | 698 views

    If we are ever to fully recover from Guilt and Shame we must choose the spiritual experience of accepting God’s offer of grace and mercy via Jesus’ actions on our behalf.

    We continue our series of escape by looking at another area of ourselves that keeps us from experiencing the freedom Jesus’ coming, suffering, dying and rising offer us. The last couple of weeks we spoke about escaping bad decisions, this week I’d like to explore overcoming the lasting effects of ...read more

     | 10,970 views

    When believers are controlled by the Holy Spirit, they manifest: 1) Upward Fruit (Galatians 5:22a) 2) Outward Fruit (Galatians 5:22b) and 3) Inward Fruit (Galatians 5:23)

    What qualifies someone for a task? There is a story of the testing of a candidate for missions work: One snowy morning at 5:00 a.m., a missionary candidate rang the bell at a missionary examiner’s home.

    Our Subjective Spiritual Struggles: They Matter Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Mar 18, 2019
     | 2,828 views

    Although many of our struggles as followers of Jesus are with the world, the flesh, and the devil, sometimes they are about monitoring our inner affections and deep seated thoughts.

    Our Subjective Spiritual Struggles: They Matter (I John 3:19-24, 4:7-21) 1. Today I begin my message with some comments about modern art. It’s easy to understand modern art. If it hangs on a wall, it’s a painting. If you can walk around it, it’s a sculpture. How many surrealists does it take to ...read more

    Different Freedom, Different Father And Different Faith Series

     | 11,260 views

    If you are in Christ, if you have repented and accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour then the Bible says you are a child of God. Your relationship with God has been restored, you are reconciled to our Heavenly Father.

    Do you want other people to like you? I think the answer for all of us is yes. In our heart, we all have a desire to be approved – to be liked. Often we allow our sense of self-esteem to be based on the opinions others have of us. Why is it that we so often feel or think badly about ourselves? Is ...read more
