    It was the depression. The father was able to keep bread on the table, but that was it. When his little boy burst into the house excitedly talking about the circus coming to town, the father knew that he could not afford the $1 admission. The boy had never seen the circus and it wasn’t right that a ...read more

    How To Obey Christ & Have Assurance On The Day Of Judgment

    "As a bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper's cemetery in the Saskatchewan back country.

    The Call To Discipleship Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 2, 2022
     | 2,566 views

    Jesus said go and make disciples. Your task as a disciple is to make disciples. You are to become a fisher of men. Jesus expects nothing less than total obedience.

    Charles Sheldon wrote a challenging book called In His Steps. In this book Henry Maxwell is the pastor of First Church Raymond. A visitor about 33 years old out of work walked to the front of the church and asks what does it mean to follow Christ? He collapsed and died three days later. A group ...read more

    Breaking Cultural Barriers In Evangelism Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 17, 2025
     | 579 views

    Cultural barriers should never stop us from spreading the gospel. Jesus died for all people, and His message must reach every tribe, language, and nation. As believers, we must be intentional in overcoming cultural prejudices, adapting our evangelistic methods, and relying on the Holy Spirit.

    BREAKING CULTURAL BARRIERS IN EVANGELISM By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Acts 10:34-35 "Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with ...read more

    Servant Of All

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Sep 19, 2024
     | 1,019 views

    Jesus lived out and taught us how to become great in the Kingdom of God. We not only deny ourselves, pick up our cross and follow Jesus, but humble ourselves to become servant to all.

    WHEN WE THINK OF SERVICE TO OTHERS AND ALL THE POSSIBLE WAYS TO ENGAGE OUR ABILITIES, I READ A RATHER HUMOROUS WAY OF LOOKING AT THIS WHICH SAID, ““IF YOU THINK YOU ARE TOO SMALL TO BE EFFECTIVE, YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN IN BED WITH A MOSQUITO.” HOWEVER, ON A MORE SERIOUS NOTE, I LIKE THE WORDS OF JOHN ...read more

    When Darkness Triumphed…..for An Hour Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Apr 2, 2023
     | 1,750 views

    There is victory in Jesus. The risen Lord! The hour of darkness has come and gone. The power of God overcame the darkness. He is alive forevermore. Don’t give the defeated enemy victory in your life.

    All of history leads to the cross and everything since follows from the cross. It is the central point in all of time. Yet the cross is a low point in human history. It is the time that God’s anointed was executed. In the timeline of history, the cross is the major event. One of Jesus’ disciples ...read more

    Praying From Victory (Praying From The New Covenant) Series

    Contributed by Christabel N. Onuoha on Apr 21, 2023
     | 2,995 views

    The cross of Jesus Christ and His resurrection changed everything FOREVER! To know this is power. The strength of the enemy’s power over the believer is only to the extent of the knowledge of Christ and His finished work that you know.

    Notice from my topic I did not say, Praying FOR victory, I said, Praying FROM victory. This is critical to underscore because, often times believers come to God in prayer with the notion or mentality of praying in order to obtain victory in the area of their need. This is not a New Testament or the ...read more

    The Name You Can Rely On Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Sep 2, 2025
     | 412 views

    Jesus stepped in, not to handle something minor, but to take on our greatest need—our separation from God. His sacrifice doesn’t just make life “nicer.” It changes everything. Do you see Jesus as someone who did you a small favor or as your Savior who paid your greatest debt?

    Several decades ago, Gary Campman wrote about five love languages. They are words of affirmation, quality time, physical touch, acts of service, and receiving gifts. These five love languages describe different ways people give and receive love. Each of us has a primary love language, and often, ...read more

    The Forgotten Tree

    Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 15, 2021
     | 3,288 views

    The Christmas Tree has become the main symbol of Christmas; baby Jesus has little connection to it. God's Christmas Tree is the Cross of Calvary. God hung His gift on it -- His Son Jesus. I put up a 5-ft. cross with Christmas lights on it.

    THE FORGOTTEN TREE 1 Pet. 2:24 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. In one Dennis the Menace cartoon, Dennis rushes into the living room. His mother is standing there with her mouth open and Dennis is holding a large box. 2. He announces with a loud voice, “We’d better tell Santa Claus to forget about ...read more

    Answering Why

    Contributed by Martin Wiles on Jan 27, 2013
     | 5,082 views

    In tragic times, we are tempted to ask why. The question itself is not wrong-after all Jesus asked it of his Father while on the cross, but it may not be the most appropriate question or lead to the best end.

    Introduction: A. When tragedy strikes, we either grow bitter toward God or draw closer to him. B. Can God prevent tragedy? Yes. Why doesn’t he always? We can’t answer that. C. God is imminent and transcendent, but he’s not always imminent when we want him to be. D. As the writer ...read more
