    Celebrating God Everyday

    Contributed by Lola Olanrewaju on Jan 27, 2019

    Celebrating God should not be a give and take practice with God, but it should be done unconditionally. When Paul and Silas praised God in prison, they have no clue what was about to happen in their life, but God set them free miraculously (Acts 16:25-34).

    It is a great joy for people to celebrate special occasions in their life. People celebrates birthday, wedding, graduation, new job, promotion, new baby, house warming, new appointment, many more. Do you know that God himself delights in celebration. In the book of exodus 12:14 God gave instruction ...read more

    Divisions are never good in the body of Christ. But when the divisions take place over a celebration of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, things get serious real fast. In this lesson, we learn about avoiding the things that separate us, and clinging to that

    Among the many problems of the Corinthian church was division. Earlier in the letter he talked about division around choosing one leader over another. In the second half of chapter 11 he focuses on another type of division that was splitting the Corinthian church: the division of rich and poor and ...read more

    I would propose to you, working as doing our work unto Christ will make you and I a witness for the Lord that surpasses the average wage earner, that causes people to take note of the life we live in obedience to the written Word of God.

    God Working Attitude God's Attitude About Work The Bible says, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Anyone who does wrong will ...read more

     | 37,800 views

    Life can be full of changes and therefore life is unpredictable. People go through changes too. Thus, people can be unpredictable. But there's one whom we can count on to never change-God. Let's take a look at our unchanging God.

    UNCHANGING GOD Life can be full of changes. Sometimes it's for the better; sometimes it's not. Some surprises are joyous; some-not so much. Adjusting to life's curve balls can cause tension and anxiety. Life is unpredictable. Although it would be nice to go through life knowing what to expect it ...read more

    Be Radical For Jesus! Or Other Radicals Will Fill The Void!

     | 4,250 views

    Too many radical people are rising up and attacking Christians! This is in part due to radical ideals sewn in the 1970s. Communism also plays a role. If we are not radical for Jesus then other radicals will take over.

    Be Radical for Jesus! Or Other Radicals Will Fill The Void! by Kelly Durant Acts 2:44-45 Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, 45 and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need. 2. The disciples of Jesus were ...read more

     | 8,083 views

    If the Church of God desires to see the Kingdom of God established within the hearts of all people, then we need to take Jesus command to make disciples very serious. It is discipleship that humanity receives back the creation mandate

    INTRODUCTION Whenever we talk of Disciples and Discipleship, the attention of most of us quickly moves to the Original disciples of Jesus, others like Paul, and or Church leaders/executives. Seldom do we think that we are all supposed to be Disciples of Christ, called to touch each other’s lives ...read more

    Romans 11 lists a "warning" for those who would take their relationship with God for granted. But there’s a tendency to focus more on the "warning" than on the powerfully positive message found in these verses. Do you know what that positive message could

    Over the years, “The Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch” has sponsored an annual contest of the most absurd warning labels.

     | 908 views

    A study of the Beatitudes. Jesus begins His sermon on the mount answering the question: "What will it take to make you happy?" His answer, however, is far different from the way most people will answer. In fact, his answers appear to bring sorrow, not happiness.

    PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS: HARASSED FOR JESUS ILLUSTRATION: In His book, Lords of the Earth, Don Richardson, author of PEACE CHILD, tells the story of Stanley Dale, a MISSIONARY to the Yali Tribe deep in the Irian Jaya JUNGLE of Indonesia in 1968.

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 25, 2025
     | 343 views

    We take up the matter of the sin nature to combat an error. How do the righteousness and justice and forgiveness of God interact? Do I actually have a sinful nature causing me to sin, or is the world responsible for sinfulness?

    THE MATTER OF YOUR SIN NATURE – REAL OR IMAGINED? [A]. PART 1.

    We have to take seriously the judgment texts in the New Testament, but temper them with the parable of the fig tree. God goes to extraordinary lengths so that as many as possible can be saved. God says, "Give it one more year."

    God Doesn’t Give Up Easily October 16, 2005 Luke 13:6-9 Sam was a sad, small little boy and had lived a life that no one, especially someone so young, should have to endure.
