    John wants his readers to know that if any loves the world as a habit of life, the love of the Father is not in him.

    1 John 2:15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world; the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life; is not of the Father but is of the world. 1 John 2:17 And ...read more

    Jesus clears out the money changers.

    Mark 11:15-18 Jesus had just made his triumphant entry into Jerusalem and he went straight to the Temple. For most of us when we think about the Temple we think of a single building much like our church here. But, the Temple mount in the time of Jesus was much more than a building. It was a ...read more

    An encouragement to strive for excellence in Christian living.

    THE PERFECT WILL OF GOD Scripture: Romans 12:1-2 St. Paul knew that anything short of surrender to the will of God would be inadequate.

    Just as Judas betrayed Jesus because of his love for money so many people betray the Lord today for similar greedy reasons. Judas had special abilities to keep accounts of the apostles money as demonstrated by their agreement to allow him to be in charge

    Solomon once wrote,"An unfaithful man is like a foot out of joint or a sore tooth." (Proverbs) Many people do not realize how painful it is when they are not faithful to God or to those who count on them. Actually, unfaithfulness, at its worst, is displayed in the life of Judas. Let us look at ...read more

    Integrity

     | 10,193 views

    A lot of people use this word, but don't know the meaning.

    A good way to define integrity is to examine one’s public versus his/her private personality. In other words, are one the same person in the light as well as in the dark? Consistency and inconsistency are therefore the key factors that determine integrity. "In the Greek original of the New ...read more

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on May 15, 2023
     | 1,424 views

    Jesus endured the cross, despising the shame (Hebrews 12:2) He surrendered his mortal body according to John 10:18, Just as he said: “No one takes [my life] away from me, but I lay it down of my own free will...” The cross is not a religious symbol but an instrument of death.

    Mark 15:34-37 Jesus and the Cross in Mark Introduction: According to Mark, the "theology of the cross" (theologia crucis) is the only way to achieve glory by way of rejection and the cross as explained in the divine parabola in Philippians 2:5 by Apostle Paul. Mark is silent about the ...read more

    More Power

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Oct 13, 2006
    based on 39 ratings
     | 10,722 views

    It is the heart cry of the need and desire for more power in the believer’s life. Without God’s power the church will have little if any impact on others. Why is it that some people don’t experience more power in their lives?

    More Power Mark 9:14-29 Introduction: Many get caught up in the desire for more money, more power, more influence, more prestige. Many who follow this pursuit profess to be dedicated Christians. What they fail to realize is that what they need and should desire most is more of the power of God in ...read more
