    Say this, “Preparation is the key.” An admirer of a famous person said, “So how did you become so successful?” The famous person replied, “About 40 years of training and staying committed.” ( Faithfulness and fruitfulness are synonymous.)

    Finishing A Race With Our Heads Held High Philippians 3:12-14NKJB Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. 13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one ...read more

    In the midst of a rumour accusing Paul falsely, we see him doing what he can to preserve the unity of the church and mission of the church. This is the heart of a servant of God.

    Read Acts 21:15-26. LET US PRAY: Thank you for your written Word. May the truth of your Word inspires us again, to know you and trust you, and to be faithful followers of Christ. May the life and ministry of Paul be an encouragement for all of us who are serving you today. Bless us with your ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 14,118 views

    Very few things in life are unstoppable. The only truly unstoppable force in this world comes from God. The Spirit of God makes His Church, His people, and His purpose unstoppable.

    Lots of people get stopped by lots of things. I remember being stopped in my tracks one day at church – Snake. People are stopped in their tracks by all kinds of things. Sadly, I have known people who were stopped in their tracks relationally. Maybe they got burned in a relationship, or even in ...read more

    A powerful sermon on the true mission of the church, based upon a sermon from the late Dr. E. V. Hill and the iconic skit by Abbot and Costello.

He preached a sermon he called, “A Spiritual Homerun.” Today I want to use that sermon as a skeleton for my own. E. V. told about preaching at a conference in Lucerne, Switzerland. He ...read more

    The Purpose Of The Broad Wall

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 26, 2022
     | 2,403 views

    The verse that we are going to use for our text contains the words, “...the broad wall.”

    God could have said, “...the wall,” but He intentionally use an adjective to described the wall as being a BROAD WALL. WHY DID GOD INTENTIONALLY TELL US THE WALL WAS A BROAD WALL? He did this for a special reason. Illus: If you were to go to the library and do some research on what qualifies ...read more

    Unity in the body of Christ is something that is not always easy to come by. This sermon addresses the need for unity and forgiveness to all. I hope you find it useful... It has not been edited so correct the mistakes

    Unity and Purpose for all Ephesians 1:1-6 One of the most powerful statements that I ever heard was that the Church is always destroyed from the inside and not the outside. It is destroyed by contention in the church. It is destroyed by self interests. It is destroyed by people that are to busy ...read more
