    The Power Of Choice. The Principle Of Living A Fulfiled Life

    Contributed by Efe Oluwatosin on Jun 26, 2024
     | 755 views

    There is always hope as long as we are alive. The gates to both life and hell are open continuously, allowing for the possibility to transition from one to the other at any given time.

    Matthew 7:13-14 “You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow, and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.” Regardless of how far one may have ...read more

    Notice, our text begins, “It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord...”

    As I preach this message I would like to show you why it is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord. We usually think of being thankful as being connected with good manners.

    Wisdom leaves no doubt about the importance and meaning of her call. She comes near to mankind & seeks to win them by her noble & uplifting gifts. May we heed the call & follow heavenly wisdom's guidance.

    PROVERBS 8: 1-11 WISDOM'S NOBLE CALL Speaking without wisdom is of little value and wisdom without a voice is of little use. So here we have wisdom taking voice and speaking. The Word of God and wisdom go hand-in-hand crying out to be heard. Wisdom's inviting call here in chapter eight ...read more

    The Sermon assures of victory over the forces of evil.

    In our text, Jesus used the terms gates and hell to refer to the powers of evil forces and the physical death. Jesus taught his followers that they were to confront the gates of hell. Christ spoke these words in Caesarea Phillippi, a pagan city that was filled with moral corruption. History ...read more

     | 8,205 views

    God’s kingdom is at work in this world, but many people fail to take advantage of their opportunities. Instead of entering the kingdom, some people only ask questions about it. Salvation is not a theory to discuss; it is a miracle to experience.

    The rich young ruler’s question was off-base. It assumes that we can do one overriding deed to win God over; it is possessive; and it is self-centered.

    I am not very good at giving gifts. I just have a hard time, when Christmas and birthdays and anniversaries roll around, a hard time giving the right gifts. It’s not that the folks I want to give to are picky or unworthy; it’s just that I can’t seem to figure out what they want and get it. For ...read more

    "I Am…. The God Of Israel”

    In the great "I Am" statements, Jesus is stating that He is the "replacement" for the Temple, the replacement for how one receives forgiveness of sins. He is fulfilling the prophecy of Ezekiel 34.

    In Jesus Holy Name Easter IV 2020 Text: John 10:11 Redeemer “I Am…. The God of Israel” Last week I began with a quote from the great newsman, Paul Harvey who told his listeners the “rest of the story.” Today we find Jesus telling some stories which ...read more

    Templegate: Jesus Cleanses The Temple - Easter 2024

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Apr 1, 2024
     | 1,138 views

    The Bible says that many were willing to believe in Him because of His signs, or His miracles. Still, Jesus can see through such false “belief.” If belief were a pool of water, then their belief would have been a puddle.

    Happy Easter to all of you, and we are so glad you are here this morning. Ever since Watergate that took down the 37th President of the United States, scandal and corruption stories often end with the word” gate” as a result.
