    Don't Quit

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024
     | 999 views

    Our victory is assured because Christ was victorious. We are “more than conquerors through Him who loved us” (Romans 8:37). Quitting is a shortcut leading to failure. We can finish strong when we focus on Christ.

    Opening illustration: In 1952 Florence Chadwick attempted to swim 26 miles from the coast of California to Catalina Island. After 15 hours, a heavy fog began to block her view, she became disoriented, and she gave up. To her chagrin, Chadwick learned that she had quit just 1 mile short of her ...read more

    What Is Greatness?

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Oct 10, 2024
     | 544 views

    Jesus our God came to serve. And even to die, to give his life as a ransom for many! To die for us, to empty himself of divine power and authority and serve those in need. That is true greatness.

    I recall a meme I saw online, it had a picture of a janitorial supply cart and it said, "Called to ministry? This will be your first pulpit." Truer words were never spoken. My first five years in ministry I mopped a lot of floors, and believe me, I expect more floors in the future. ...read more

    Kamran was a violent man who sold drugs & weapons in Iran. A friend gave him a New Testament, & for 5 consecutive days, Kamran devoured it. He soon gave his life to Christ. Where Kamran used to sell drugs and weapons, a church now met in his home.

    Gratitude Is Due To God

    Contributed by Zacch Olorunnipa on Dec 13, 2020
     | 8,845 views

    God deserves to be given gratitude because He desires it and for the great and innumerable things He has done for the human race. Six (6) major reasons why gratitude should be accorded to God and the blessings that can accrue for doing so are discussed in this ministration.
