    A Litmus Test Of Spiritual Well-Beng

    Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Mar 5, 2022
     | 1,415 views

    Using the analogy of a litmus test, this sermon juxtaposes the traits of arrogance over against the traits that reflect the DNA of love. It explores the inclusion of 1 Corinthians 13 sandwiched between chapters 12 and 14.

    “Litmus test” is a process used to determine the nature of something. In the 14th century scientists discovered that litmus, a mixture of colored organic compounds obtained from lichen, turns red in acid solutions and blue in alkaline solutions and, thus, can be used as an acid-base indicator. ...read more

    Check the words that people speak with what God says in the Bible. Check the commitment to the body of believers

    1 John 4:1-6 cautions Christians not to indiscriminately acknowledge every single spiritual case. There are numerous bogus instructors (false teachers) on the planet.

    Believers are urged not to sin, but if they do, they have an advocate with God the Father. Believers are told to have love for one another, thereby showing that they are followers of Christ.

    In verses 1-2: John is at this point an extremely elderly person. He has spent practically each of his years in the service of the Lord, and a considerable amount of his readers were for sure his spiritual youngsters.

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on May 29, 2025
     | 621 views

    This message is a reminder that faith is not just believing when things go well, but holding on to God even when everything around us seems to fall apart. Faith is the bridge that carries us from testing to testimony, from tears to triumph, and from brokenness to breakthrough.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: James 1:2-4 Supporting Texts: 1 Peter 1:6-7, Romans 5:3-5, Hebrews 11:17-19, Job 23:10, 2 Corinthians 4:17 INTRODUCTION: Life as a believer is not exempt from difficulties.

    From Dust To Life: Tested And Transformed

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Jan 26, 2026
     | 122 views

    Why did Joseph stir up the pain of the past, what did he constantly awaken the consciousness of their failures? What was the purpose, what did it accomplish? Gen 44 speaks hope into the past so that we do not have to bring into the future.

    In real life, people carry the weight of brokenness—family dysfunction, personal failures, neglect, and wounds that often go unspoken. What do we normally do with the dysfunction? Cover it up and move on. This next chapter in Genesis speaks hope into these areas of brokenness. God shows us how our ...read more

    Earlier in the first chapter of James much has been said about testing and trials but now James turns his attention to temptation. How are they alike and how are they different, especially since the Greek word is the same for both? Let's take a look!

    James 1:1-15 “James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes scattered among the nations: “Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. ...read more
