    Being A Soldier Of Christ

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Nov 16, 2020
     | 5,901 views

    What does it take to be a soldier for Christ? This message ends with a bold statement of being a soldier for Christ and was delivered with soft background music. Very heart-touching.

    This past Wednesday was Veteran’s Day. I don’t want to let that day go by without honoring our veterans and thanking them for their service. After all, if it wasn’t for their service, we might not have the freedoms that we have. But in 2 Timothy 2: 1-4, Paul talks about being a soldier for ...read more

    we must learn to forgive if we want to be forgiven

    “Me? Forgive You? Hah!” Matthew 6:9-13 David P. Nolte It is a dangerous prayer to pray. If the Lord would answer it in the form we ask, we’d be in a bad way.

    Are You Still Throwing Stones At Others?

    Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 9, 2020
     | 12,315 views

    Let me talk about stones. God requires Christians to take care of each other. Not to pamper people in their wrongs, but to encourage them get back up when they do wrong or fall. We must have that Barnabas Spirit – to be willing to help each other when down.

    John 8:1-12: 8 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 Now early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him; and He sat down and taught them. 3 Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery.
