    Rahab, a woman of a disrepute, makes it to the list of the heroes of faith. It is in the book of Joshua that we first read about Rahab and the role she plays to help the Israelites conquer a city. Rahab is a Canaanite.

In verse 31, Rahab, a woman of a disrepute, makes it to the list of the heroes of faith. It is in the book of Joshua that we first read ...read more

    Don't Lose What Is Already Good

    Contributed by Ed Lu on Apr 21, 2023
     | 2,686 views

    Nahum whose name means comforter, chosen by God during a time of turmoil to deliver God’s verdict to the Assyrian empire straight into the heart of its capital - Nineveh. Isn’t it amazing when we choose to do what we are naturally good at, God uses us supernaturally to further advance His Kingdom?

    I have been reading and meditating on the book of Nahum for our time today. It’s a book that’s easily lost, often ignored, hardly known, difficult to find, seldom turned (pages crisp) - some even describe it as “a hymn of hate” (NAC). Book about judgment and destruction, but don’t quit there, ...read more

    Jesus displayed His passion for humanity through humility, serving others, and giving up His life as a ransom for many. We are called to follow His example by thinking, acting, and obeying in humility.

    Hey everyone! Today, we're gonna talk about humility. Humility is that thing where we put others before ourselves and don't act like we're the center of the universe. Jesus was the ultimate example of humility, and we're gonna learn from Him today. But first, let's start with a cool object lesson. ...read more

    Using Peter's walk on the water, we can see that our own faith can only be tried by getting out of the boat. Then and only then can Christ use us. Our faith can grow, our trust increase and we can serve our Lord.

    I. Introduction A. What would be the best message for the first of the New Year? 1. I’m sure that every preacher has an answer for that question 2.
