Keep Your Key

Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Dec 9, 2017

When you hold on to what God has given you, eventually you will arrive at your breakthrough, using the key.

This message is meant to encourage you to keep whatever key the Lord has given to you in life. Although the use of the key on the first few occasions may not open any expected visible door, but if you keep using the key, not throwing it away because of frustration, you will eventually get to the ...read more

Ehud And The Fat Man

Contributed by Timothy Enns on Feb 22, 2012

Woe Is Me

Contributed by Ron Kelly on Dec 10, 2011

In this life, we will all experience our share of ups and downs, heartaches and pain. When we go through this pressure cooker called, "life" - we must understand that God promised us that He would never leave us, nor would He forsake us!

(New King James Version) 1 Kings 19:10-13 10) So he said ‘I have been very zealous for the Lord God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek to take my life.’ 11) ...read more

Defense Against Discouragement

Contributed by Grant Adams on Apr 22, 2020

The children of Israel have just had a great victory and deliverance from Egypt. They crossed the Red Sea. They are praising the Lord for what He has done.

In the Baptist churches alone, there are over 1,000 preachers a year that leave the ministry, why? There is no way of numbering the Christians that forsake Christ and His church, just simply give up and quit. Why is this going on? I think the main reason is because of discouragement. I think this ...read more

Not As The Lord Commanded (Leviticus 10)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Oct 4, 2024

Does apostolic succession guarantee that even the next generation of priests will not disobey God? Let's look at Leviticus 10.

As we read through the early chapters of Leviticus, is it important to note how some did not do as the Lord commanded? Is this a weakness of apostolic succession? Where is the guarantee that even the very next generation of priests will be faithful? Jesus gave over 300 commands. Are we faithful to ...read more

Human Governments (1 Samuel 8)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 3, 2025

Do all human governments eventually disappoint? Let's look at 1 Samuel 8.

Are all human governments faulty? Why would people think that the solution is a king when God is the real answer? Let’s look at 1 Samuel 8.

Why Reaching The Top Still Feels So Empty

Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 30, 2025

Success cannot heal the soul; only God’s whisper restores us. When we quit running, God meets us, feeds us, and makes us whole.

Part One There are moments in life when you do everything right—moments when the victory is undeniable, the applause is loud, the outcome is clear—and yet something inside you feels strangely hollow. It’s bewildering. You should feel triumphant, settled, validated. But instead, the deepest parts ...read more
