Matthew 26:17-35; John 20:19-31 F. W. Boreham has a very interesting essay on the subject, “Seek and ye shall Find.” He takes a different twist on the Scripture and I was fascinated by it. He tells the story of when he was young and lost a little toy. He acquired this toy by exchanging it ...read more

Differently Gifted

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 22, 2018

What you think you know about spiritual gifts, is probably wrong, in ways that actually inhibit ministry rather than encouraging it.

This morning I would like us to think about spiritual gifts: skills and abilities given by God the Holy Spirit to followers of Christ for the purpose of ministry. And my hypothesis is that what you probably believe about spiritual gifts is wrong. Wrong in a way that’s diminishing your joy in ...read more

Occupying In Prayer And Warfare Series

Contributed by Tesh Njokanma on Apr 27, 2018

Prayer is not a mere routine or ritual. Prayer is actually a spiritual confrontation with the kingdom of darkness. When we pray, we are wrestling; we are engaging in a fight, a battle or warfare with forces and powers of darkness.

Introduction In Luke 19:13, the King of Glory gave us a guideline to follow until Christ returns. This verse tells us what to engage in or spend our time on until we meet with the Lord. We are told to occupy till Jesus comes, to put what God has given us to work, to make profitable divine ...read more

Staying Within The Borders

Contributed by Herb Pulse on Jun 24, 2017

Samson is an example that we all need to stay within our borders "spiritually" or face the consequences.

I often find a great reflection of our times as it relates to the book of Judges. In those days, there was no king in Israel, everyone did what was right in his eyes. (Judges 21:25) Today we see our society wanting no part in exercising itself in obedience to God or Gods mandates. Our own eyes ...read more

No Weapon Formed Against You Shall Prosper

Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 31, 2016
