     | 3,081 views

    We are created in the image of God, and when we choose to reflect His image through our lives we may be hated or even persecuted. Let’s see how God’s justice and righteousness will always prevail over every evil plot of the enemy.

    We read in Genesis 1:26, And God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.” (KJV) Why was man ...read more

     | 2,273 views

    When our situations are gloomy and dark and there seems no hope, remember the Lord Jesus is close at hand and He specializes in transforming lifeless situations to those brimming with life and fruitfulness.

    In Mark 16:1, we read, “And when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.”(KJV) The Lord Jesus as He had already predicted to His disciples on several occasions, was crucified on a cross at ...read more

    Authentic Servants Of God Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on May 3, 2023
     | 2,028 views

    Paul took us on a look at the message of the Gospel, its messengers, ministry and our trust in the Master of the work of the Gospel. He helped us understand the endurance we need, the character and nature of the ministry.

    2 Cor 6:3-13 Authentic Servants of God Paul has been writing in answer to his critics and in defence of his ministry. • This was necessary because false teachers had sown discord among them, challenging Paul’s authority, questioning his motive in ministry and casting doubt on his character. • Why ...read more

    If your cry of “Lord, Lord,” is a cry for help, not a boast of power, his answer is, “Come unto me.”

    I could have called this sermon Identity Theft, or Forged Documents, or Illegal Entry, or any one of a number of buzz-words regarding one of today’s hot political topics, illegal immigration.

    Jesus is stripping the Jews naked of their self-righteousness and hypocrisy related to their worship. Jesus uses a Greek word that describes them as a stage actor when it comes to their worship, and he does the same for the way they pray

    Dr. Bradford Reaves Crossway Christian Fellowship Hagerstown, MD www.mycrossway.org This morning we’re continuing our study of the Sermon on the Mount.

    The stubbornness of Judah was so great, it severed any contact with the LORD. They refused to repent. Jeremiah tried to reason it out, but God set out the charges against the nation with the promise certain judgement was coming. Also look at is faithfulness and commitment in our lives.

    The Extraordinary Goodness

    Contributed by Efren V. Narido on May 2, 2024
     | 1,016 views

    We should not equate the Goodness of Jesus Christ, who is fully and truly God, with our ordinary understanding of what is good. As the Divine Shepherd, then, what made His Goodness extraordinary?

    “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees ...read more

    Fear is real and there are many situations that disturb us and create a sense of fear in our hearts. If we recognize that God is our shield, and put our faith in Him, all our fears are annulled and will be replaced with courage and peace.

    We read in Genesis 15:1, Later the LORD spoke his word to Abram in a vision. He said, "Abram, don't be afraid. I am your shield. Your reward will be very great." (GW) God knows our name There were certain events that transpired in Abram’s life that left him with a sense of fear and ...read more

    The sermon challenges believers to reject hollow religiosity and instead pursue a Spirit-filled life marked by inward transformation, daily surrender, and the visible fruit of the Holy Spirit.

    Powerless Religion or Spirit-Filled Life 2 Timothy 3:1-5; Ephesians 5:15-18; Galatians 5:22-26 In an age when appearance often replaces authenticity, and spiritual reputation can mask spiritual emptiness, we must ask ourselves how does one identify the highly religious among us?
