    Contributed by Howard Strickland on Oct 21, 2012

     | 4,820 views

    This chapter begins with the word- Therefore. This word is a transition word from doctrine to duty, principle to practice, position to behavior. This is typical of Paul’s writings- (Romans 12:1, Gal.5:1 just to name a few).

    The Worthy Walk Ephesians 4:1-3NAS Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love, 3 being diligent to preserve ...read more

    Defending The Poor Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Mar 3, 2013
     | 6,912 views

    God cares for the poor and oppressed; one of the most prominent themes in the Bible is our response toward the poor. It is the duty of God’s people to provide for those in need as best as we can with compassion, following the example of Nehemiah.

    Nehemiah has resisted outward attacks, but now there’s corruption within. It’s been said that, “No test of leadership is more revealing than the test of opposition” (Boice). Nehemiah wasn’t expecting opposition from his own people. The outcry of the poor reached his ...read more

    Noah- The Ungiver

    Contributed by Jerry Owen on May 25, 2018
     | 6,970 views

    Believers are immersed in a world of sin and temptation. Noah experienced a world such as this or even worse. Our duty as believers in God is to never give in to sin, never give up our hope in Christ, and to never give out in doing good.

    Noah: The Ungiver Genesis 6:5-9 Read Gen 6:5-7 5 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 The Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. 7 The Lord ...read more

    We await a trumpet call: REVEILLE. Can we hear the call: WAKE UP? BE READY? BE PREPARED? Spiritual sleep is hindering the work of the church. Let us arise out of SPIRITUAL SLEEP and answer duties' call!

    THE SPIRIT’S CALL TO REVEILLE! By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com My opinion is that we are living TODAY IN A VERY PERILOUS TIME. History calls China the SLEEPING NATION.

    The only path to the High Life! Isaiah must cry loud without fear or intimidation and show them their sins which they go on in. They have a clear knowledge of good and evil, sin and duty, and the convictions of their consciences concerning their sin.

     | 999 views

    Prayer is not merely a religious duty; it is a divine privilege. Through prayer, we commune with the Creator of the universe. Yet, how often do we approach God with hesitation, doubting whether He hears us or will answer our petitions?

    Go! And Pray with Confidence 1 John 5:14-15 (NLT): "And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him. And since we know he hears us when we make our requests, we also know that he will give us what we ask for." Introduction: The Privilege of ...read more

    Our Spiritual Wealth

     | 54 views

    Paul the Apostle begins his letter not with problems, but with praise. Before speaking about Christian duty, he reminds believers of their Christian riches. Many believers live defeated lives because they forget how blessed they already are in Christ.

    1. The Gift of Grace and Peace (v.2) “Grace to you and peace…” Grace is God’s unmerited favor. Grace starts right from our salvation. Without His Grace we would not even survive. Grace should not be taken as a license to do anything we want. Peace is the result of receiving grace. Grace deals ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 595 views

    The rapture should not bring fear but joy and anticipation for believers. If we are living right, we have nothing to fear. Instead, we should encourage one another and look forward to Christ’s return with hope and readiness.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 Supporting Texts: 1 Corinthians 15:51-52, Matthew 25:1-13, John 14:1-3 INTRODUCTION: The doctrine of the rapture is a central teaching in Christian eschatology, signifying the moment when Christ will ...read more

    Part 4: Active Faith In Passive Seasons. Series

     | 268 views

    : Is your waiting room actually a weight room? In seasons where nothing moves and prayers seem unheard, faith can feel like stagnant waiting. But faith is a verb, not a noun.

    Here's what I've noticed: most of us treat faith like an emergency button. Something you only push when there's a crisis. When the diagnosis is bad, when the job is gone, when everything is falling apart. But what happens in the seasons when nothing is falling apart and nothing is ...read more
