    Celebrate The Victory

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jun 29, 2024
     | 701 views

    Many in our country, even of our leaders, have forgotten God. So can we still celebrate? Yes we can. Over the years God has blessed this nation. That is something to celebrate! And we have even more to celebrate when we know Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord.

     | 6,790 views

    Envy is considered to be the second most deadly sin but it’s known to be the nastiest, ugliest and the meanest of all sins. It is also the most secretive of the 7 Deadly Sins. Many people will admit in public to the sin of sloth or gluttony but envy? Yet

    Envy Galatians 5:13-23 When I served on staff at Rayne Memorial UMC on St. Charles Avenue, a young man named Arthur began attending.

    Be Present Among The Lost Series

    Some believers insist on keeping a safe distance from the lost, afraid of being contaminated by their behavior or being seen as guilty by association; and so they fail to share their faith with the ones who actually need their help.

    It is my desire to preach on real issues that we deal with as believers, so here’s a real observation to start off with: Some believers act like once they have received God’s forgiveness and been saved from their sins by the blood of Jesus Christ that they’re somehow better than the lost. However, ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 29,525 views

    We are all youth. As youth, we encounter the culture of society that continues to redefine sin as something more acceptable to secular eyes. We need to keep God's Word close to remain true to His wisdom.

    The clash between Jesus and the Pharisees intensified during the time of His public ministry. He rebuked and condemned them for their hypocrisy and unbelief, warning them of the eternal consequences.

Now the people brought before Him a man who was not only demon-possessed but also suffered from blindness and the inability to speak. Jesus immediately cast out ...read more

    True Confession

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 10, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,119 views

    The very word to confess has a much deeper meaning to agreeing with God about the whole aspect of what Jesus did on the cross and what sin really is all about. For a person to confess has to do with the person agreeing with God for what He has done for us

    Opening illustration: A woman said to a preacher, "I have a habit that I know is hurting my testimony—the habit of exaggeration. I start to tell something and I go on and on enlarging the story. People suspect that it's not true, and they lose confidence in me. I'm trying to get over it. ...read more
