If you are a real born again Christian, you have Jesus Christ living within you. You are in fact part of His body, the body of Christ. You carry His presence with you. The presence of God, with you.

I recall a few weeks back I was trying to get into the mindset of Christmas, so I was watching old Christmas cartoons from the mid 1900s. A fair amount of it was oddly poisonous to my spirit. It was not edifying or encouraging to my inner man. It was a lot of self focused desire for stuff, a lot ...read more

Which Jesus Do You Follow? Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 4, 2025

There's only one true Jesus, but there are many false concepts of Jesus whom people follow. Do you follow a religious Jesus who requires rituals and works for salvation. Then, think again.

As we mentioned in our bulletin this morning, we begin a new series of messages today entitled "Meet the Real Jesus?' And I'm going to begin this morning by asking each of you here, "Which Jesus do you follow?" Now, yes, I'm anticipating some questions or comments which ...read more

Jesus Transforms

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 13, 2025

Transformation is at the heart of the gospel. Jesus does not only save; He changes lives completely. When a person encounters Jesus, they are never the same again. He takes the broken, the lost, and the weak and turns them into vessels of honour.

We Must Choose (2012)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 20, 2022

We did not have a choice in our fist birth, but we do have a choice as to whether or not we are going to be born again. This passage of scripture talks about our rebellion, or God’s remedy and our choice.

WE MUST CHOOSE Text: John 3:14 - 21 How many times have you received one of those mail items where you had a key and a possibility of winning the prize if the key fit?

Why Did God Choose The Shepherds? Series

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Dec 11, 2025

Time and time again in the Scriptures, we see that God chooses the most unlikely candidates to serve him - David the shepherd to be king, fishermen to be apostles, and in this passage, the lowly shepherds to be the first to meet the newborn Christ child. Why?

One of the things I enjoy most about Biblical narrative—that is, the historical accounts in the Old and New Testament—is how often God does something completely unexpected. These can be surprising, or revealing, or thought-provoking. And sometimes they’re quite funny, as when God gave Balaam’s ...read more

Contributed by Ronnie Miller on Aug 25, 2014

Jonah’s name means “Dove” and his father Amittai means “My Truth You put those together and you see that Jonah means messenger of the Truth. All born again Christians are messengers of the Truth. I think sometimes or most of the time we forget that.

Feeling Abandoned By God? (Isaiah 49:14-50:3) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 3, 2025

Lady Zion feels abandoned by God. God comforts her by saying He will make her beautiful again, and give her children. God also says, she feels abandoned because she was-- but that's about to change.

A few weeks ago, in Isaiah 47, we read about the fall of Babylon, the capital city of the Babylonian empire. The city was described using female imagery-- as a delicate virgin daughter, as a queen. She was described as being proud, and boastful, and savage in her treatment of God's people. ...read more
