The Place Of Service

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 27, 2025

The place of service is a place of honour, blessings, and spiritual fulfilment. God does not call people to sit on the sidelines; He calls them to serve. Whether in the church, in our communities, or in our daily lives, we must be willing to serve with humility, diligence, and commitment.

Celebrating A Timeless Jesus At Christmas Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Apr 7, 2024

Christmas was just the beginning of a round-trip that Jesus took from heaven to earth and back to heaven. Jesus went from sitting on a throne, to laying in a manger, to hanging on a tree. He went from being a king with a crown, to a baby with diapers, to a criminal on the cross

The Responses To Christmas

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Dec 6, 2006

Three different responses to the news of Christ’s birth: (1) the Magi, passionately seeking Christ to worship Him; (2) King Herod, eager to get rid of Christ, do not want Him to sit on his throne; and (3) Jerusalem, apathetic to the prophecies rega

Matt 2:1-12, 16-18 We see here 3 different responses to the news of the birth of Jesus Christ. • First, we see the Magi in a passionate search for the child Jesus. • Second, we have King Herod also eagerly seeking to find the child, but so that he could kill him. • And thirdly, we see the ...read more

The Story Of God: Regeneration

Contributed by Matthew Morine on Feb 15, 2008

It all went wrong, only God could make it right. We all sinned, only God could restore us again. The story of regeneration is often never told. So sit down in the old chair and listen again to the story from God.

THE STORY OF GOD: CREATION-RECREATION THEME: GOD CREATED BY MAN AND CONTINUES TO RECREATE MAN. TEXT: TITUS 3:3-7 It always seemed like hours in that chair.

Christian Growth Through Spiritual Diet

Contributed by Dr. Nicholas M. Muteti on Jun 15, 2011

Did you know that a Christian must have a spiritual diet? I was blessed to discover it in 1 Peter Chapter 2. I like peter. Peter is quite often pictured on the pages of scripture eating, or sitting at the table. Here, in chapter 2, he is not referring the

Getting A Piece Of Land In Heaven

Contributed by Mike Fogerson on Apr 22, 2014

Heaven is the place where God dwells, & where Jesus sits today at the right hand of the Father. Today, one of the ways to get land is for someone to leave it to you in their will (family member). Someone has to die to give you land. Jesus died so you!

Ant Hill Vs. Mole Hill

Contributed by Dr. Travis Shipley on Sep 19, 2016

Sometime in life we make a big deal out of small things. Ant hills are small and isolated, moles tear up and entire yard with tunnels underground and cause massive damage. Sometimes we need to sit back and ask ourselves , is this a big deal?

The Ant , The Mole Hill During the Civil War, General Robert E. Lee had a shortage of soldiers. His army could be devastated if the Union army discovered this weakness. Since he could not increase the number of soldiers, he decided he could make his army look larger than it actually was. ...read more

The Letter To Sardis

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Oct 7, 2021

This will sit well with those who believe that you can lose your justification because of your actions. The belief of once saved always saved is clearly challenged in this letter. When one comes to be a disciple of Jesus Christ one must follow the words of Him.

The Letter to Sardis Revelation 3:1-6 Michael H. Koplitz The letter to the church at Sardis is a straightforward letter with very little symbolism. The one who holds the seven stars is Jesus Christ. We have read about this symbolism in earlier letters. The reference that is made to those who will ...read more

Blinded By Bitterness Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 11, 2023

Jonah was a bitter man. The question is - why was he bitter, and why was it wrong for him to harbor his resentment of Nineveh?

Most of us have heard the story of Jonah and the whale. We’ve heard how God told Jonah to go the evil city of Nineveh and warn them to repent of their wickedness… or perish. But Jonah didn’t want to go so he got on a boat and went entirely the other direction because he believed he could run from ...read more

Our Fallen Nature Series

Contributed by Jake Kircher on May 17, 2006

The warning of death sits before all of us tonight. God has provided a way out of the death that awaits us but until we truly understand and take ownership of our brokenness and sinful nature we can not fully understand God’s gift of life.

Last week we left Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden just after creation. Everything that God had created was good, and in fact when it came to creating humans, you and I, He said it was very good. Looking around, the world was paradise. Everything was created perfectly. Mankind had everything that ...read more

Step Three - Pursuing Your Purpose Series

Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Jun 18, 2001

Someone who sits idly without a purpose is an easy target for temptation. We are easily drawn away when we don’t have a purpose we are reaching for. When we are reaching ahead, we have to stop and change directions in order to sin.

Step Three - Pursuing Your Purpose The final step I want to focus on in overcoming sinful habits is your purpose. Each of our lives has been created by God for a purpose. As long as we are living outside of that purpose, there will be emptiness and a desire to crowd our lives with pleasures and ...read more
