    The Reason We Submit To Authority Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 15, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,923 views

    Obedience that originates from this kind of fear of penalty is not true obedience. That is the reason why the apostle Paul exhorts us in Romans 13:5, that our obedience must stem from our conscience and not because we fear the consequences of disobedience.

    The Reason We Submit to Authority In Romans 13:5 we read, “We must obey therefore, not only in order to escape punishment, but also for conscience' sake.” (WNT) All of us are familiar with the principle that if we don’t obey rules and submit to those in authority, we will get punished, and ...read more

    Timothy (Paul's Disciple) Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 3, 2022
     | 3,628 views

    This young man was so closely associated with the Apostle Paul that they shared his thoughts and work. However, we must assume the more profound knowledge of him conveyed by the Acts and Epistles and by the letters of counsel addressed by St. Paul to him personally.

    Timothy Acts 16:1 Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman… ________________________________________ This young man was so closely associated with the Apostle Paul that they shared his thoughts and work.

    Could Even Judas Have Been Forgiven? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 13, 2025
     | 412 views

    Did Judas have to lose hope? On the third day after Jesus died, when the apostles gathered in the Upper Room, would there have been room for Judas Iscariot? He was, after all, one of the Twelve, chosen by Christ.

    Monday of Holy Week 2025 St. John the Evangelist probably had three or four decades or more to contemplate the life and fate of his fellow disciple, Judas Iscariot. He then wrote his clear and crisp description of the man’s moral character. The incident described Mary of Bethany ministering to the ...read more

    Perhaps you have a calling; and yet, you haven’t heard from the Lord in a while and feel directionless. This message explores how the apostle Paul had to undergo both a three-year and a fourteen-year down-time consecutively.

    When you are down to nothing, God is up to something! - Barbara Franklin(1) Have you ever been assigned a task from the Lord, or been asked by Him to do something specific? Perhaps you’ve been called to pastor a church, become a missionary, attend seminary, or even start a new outreach in the ...read more

    Real Men Do Cry

    Contributed by Paul Green on Mar 13, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,243 views

    The Apostle Paul is renowned for being a woman-hating, doctrine-making, emotionless, rock hard, ice cold; Gospel preaching machine, but in reality he was a man who was never very far away from a good cry for the sake of the Gospel.

    In our reading this morning the Apostle Paul is writing to the church he had planted in Philippi and he says, ‘Join together in following my example, brothers and sisters, and just as you have us as a model, keep your eyes on those who live as we do. For, as I have often told you before and now ...read more

    Do Not Ye Judge Them That Are Within?

    Someone says, “Do not judge lest ye be judged.” Another says, “You cannot judge me. The Bible says not to judge.” yet Apostle Paul says, “Do not ye judge them that are within?” 1 Cor. 5:12.

    Someone says, “Do not judge lest ye be judged.” Another says, “You cannot judge me. The Bible says not to judge.” yet Apostle Paul says, “Do not ye judge them that are within?” 1 Cor. 5:12.

    Instructions For Ministry (Matthew 10:5-42)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 10, 2025
     | 343 views

    In these verses, Matthew describes the responsibilities given to the apostles by the Lord Jesus. He anointed them with special powers and abilities to show people the power of God but also warned Mark 13;9-13of coming persecution for the cause of the Gospel.

    The Lord Jesus gave the apostles specific responsibilities and gifts to minister to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. His role as the Promised Messiah would be to not deliver the nation from the bondage of Rome, but to free them and all people from a far worse bondage, that of sin and it ...read more

    Personal Evangelism: One-On-One Witnessing Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 16, 2025
     | 795 views

    Personal evangelism is a divine assignment that every believer must embrace. One-on-one witnessing is a powerful tool for winning souls, as it allows for personal engagement and addressing individual concerns. Jesus, the apostles, and early Christians used this method effectively.

    Today we are going to focus – maybe refocus on Love – John was called the apostle of Love and He knew love and truth had to be linked together to be able to live in a world which distorted both love and truth! The two are a dynamic duo!

    God's Call To Unity--A Missing Priority Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 12, 2026
     | 67 views

    Gaurding our unity in Christ is not often considered a priority for believers. And yet it is the very first thing the Apostle Paul addresses when he talks about how to live according to our high calling in Christ Jesus in the book of Ephesians.

    I was a fourth-year student at Dallas Seminary, a dedicated Bible student for 15 years, before someone suggested to me that the issue of pursuing unity in my ministry could be a very significant issue. But I remember the day like it was yesterday. The venerable Professor John Reed, the Head of ...read more

    Paul the Apostle in writing to the Corinthian Church in 1 Corinthians 6 places a question before them. Six times they have been asked " Do you not know?" Let us ponder over those few points.

    When there is a repetition of a particular question "Do you not know?", the clear indication is that I am supposed to be knowing something or I am supposed to be aware of certain facts or things which is very vital and beneficial not only to the Kingdom of God but to self as well. They ...read more
