    Why should I seek first God’s Kingdom and His righteousness... and how can I know I’ve done so?

    OPEN: There was once a rich man who was very, very miserable. He had all he could buy, but nothing seemed to please him and he didn’t know why. So, one day he visited an old friend and explained his misery to him. The old friend smiled and said “Fred, I know what your problem is, and I can show ...read more

    How Christians Are To Serve Others

    Contributed by Craig Condon on May 29, 2015
     | 11,018 views

    We need to redirect our culture away from ourselves to the needs of others and the glory of God. Culture must not be used merely for self-interest.

    The readings we heard from Deuteronomy 15:1-11 and Acts 4:32-37 this evening talk about how the Christian community is supposed to act. The events in the reading from Acts take place immediately after the coming of the Holy Spirit. The people had an uncommon experience of the life and death of ...read more

    If we want to be truly blessed and be a blessing to others, we must let God break us of our self-sufficiency and our sin.

    Recently, I came across an interesting set of statistics on sanity. According to the study, one out of every four Americans is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Now, think of your three best friends. If they’re okay, then it’s probably you. (Rita Mae Brown, Church Champions Update, ...read more

    Jesus is not impressed with an outward show of self-righteousness, but with an inner heart of dependence upon Him, which he found among the Gentile "dogs."

    I like this thought posted by Mike Atkinson in his daily email humor list some time ago. If you can start the day without caffeine; if you can get going without pep pills; if you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains; if you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles; ...read more

    True acceptance with God comes not through self-righteousness or comparison, but through humble confession and receiving His mercy offered in Jesus Christ.

    Some stories slip into the room and sit right beside us. This is one of them. It whispers to the weary, “You can put down the mask,” and it nudges the proud, “You can put down the measuring stick.” Picture it: two people walk into God’s house—one with a polished prayer and a proud posture, the ...read more

    Evangelical Congregations do not observe the practice of fasting during Lent. But is there meaning beyond the ritualistic nature of the Lent season? How are you preparing to meet the resurrected Lord of the Easter?

    Lent: A Ritual or Preparation? We are part of an evangelical congregation and hence many of us do not observe the Lenten season as done in the mainline churches. But many of you who have grown up , or are used to the ways of the mainline churches will certainly remember the Lenten season. Those of ...read more

     | 1,094 views

    Pride is a dangerous attitude that leads to downfall and separation from God. It is characterised by self-exaltation, a lack of dependence on God, and disregard for others. Scripture warns that pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.

    Title: THE DANGER OF PRIDE By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Proverbs 16:18 Supporting Texts: James 4:6, Isaiah 14:12-15, 1 Peter 5:5, Daniel 4:28-33, Philippians 2:3 INTRODUCTION: Pride is a dangerous attitude that leads to downfall and separation from God. It is characterised by ...read more

    The real content of hope is the immortality of the self in eternal life. Spiritual hunger is a hunger within that nothing physical will ever fill. It is a longing to be connected to our Creator.

    18B There is a folk saying about food that we’ve all heard, “You are what you eat,” by which what is usually meant is that your body takes on the characteristics of the food you consume. In ancient times, it was basically thought of in reverse, ‘You eat what you are.” We are immortal beings. The ...read more

     | 4,243 views

    We know little about life after death, but we do know that heaven is not possessing things, that hell is about separation from God, and that the love of God will reach even to the most alienated.

    We think that having things will make us happy. The truth is that happiness comes from sharing what you have with someone you love. Fulfillment is not measured by how much you have. Genuine fulfillment is measured by who you have it with. That is true in this life. I believe that is also true ...read more

    In a self oriented society that couldn’t care less where should the believer turn? and what should he do?

    Yesterday, I took my son and 3 years old grandson to the city dump with a load of my wife’s accumulated ’treasures.’ As I was waiting to give this message I associated that experience with the person who has the feeling that nothing is going right, problems are everywhere, coping is impossible, and ...read more
