Most wars are fought for one of three reasons—or a combination of this reasons: territory, ideology, theology. The word “territory” doesn’t always mean land. The Pharisees had carved out a territory, which they intended to defend at all costs (John 11:45-53).

Portrait Of Humility - Philippians 2:5-8 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Apr 1, 2023

We know we are to be servants, but we struggle when servanthood requires giving up something precious. This message will help you see the beauty of a lifestyle of servanthood and giving up precious things for others.

Our Change Of Masters

Contributed by Grant Adams on Apr 15, 2023

Man was made to rule. When God created man, he gave him priority over all things. Yet it is equally true that man was made to serve.

In the beginning, man was placed in the garden to keep it and to address it. He was to serve his maker. We find within man a war, two great forces seeking the mastery of his life. Galatians 5:17. Evil and good, sin and righteousness. If evil seeks to rule man, so also the good spirit. That spirit ...read more

Demonstration Of Royal Service Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 1, 2024

Jesus had so little time left for His disciples to learn that the way to glory is through service and not through position and authority.

Family Services For God

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on May 11, 2024

Joshua said, “But for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15 NLT) I want to use this opportunity to inspire parents to view God's service as a shared family endeavor.

Often, Satan sows seeds of discouragement to deter families from serving God. When a parent is actively involved in God's service, questions may arise about why their children should also be deeply involved. For instance, if one parent is a choir leader, gatekeeper, or priest, and one or two of ...read more

Servanthood

Contributed by Rolando, Jr Pama on Sep 14, 2024
