    Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 9, 2020
     | 2,155 views

    Marriage, according to God, is the Covenant Union of a man and a woman for the purpose of committing to one another. It was never meant to be a contract. It was never meant to be a place where we bring our 50% and the other person bring their 50%. It is total commitment.

Ruth 4:9 (Good News Translation) Then Boaz said to the leaders and all the others there, “You are all witnesses today that I have bought from Naomi everything that belonged to Elimelech and to his sons Chilion ...read more

    We’ve all needed a second chance at one time or another. Truth is that many of us have also "blown our second chance" and maybe have despaired that it was our last chance. Well, God goes beyond the second chance to the new beginning!

    A NEW BEGINNING . . . A NEW CREATION! Text: Romans 5:20 Moreover, the law entered, that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound.

     | 2,241 views

    All too often our definition for Good News has to do with interesting new Bible stories, or feel good inspirationals. But we may find ourselves one day in the Valley of Despair – Valley of Dry Bones, as a result of sin (birthed within us).

    THE BIRTH OF SIN Revised – 08.20.06 (Edit in text from “Elijah”, Chas. Swindoll, pages 127 – 131) Perhaps you came this morning expecting to hear some “Good News”… How do you define the term “Good News”?

     | 1,265 views

    The joy of the Lord has the power to turn sorrow into laughter and despair into hope. When we look at the story of Sarah, we see a God who turned her years of barrenness into joy, so profound that she proclaimed, “God has made me laugh.”

    Every age has its fools — not because people lack intelligence, but because they reject truth. We live in a world where humanity believes it has outgrown God — yet moral decay, despair, and violence reveal that something has gone terribly wrong.

    based on 15 ratings
     | 6,183 views

    Jesus cry, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me!” is a desperate cry of loneliness. I believe this was the worst and the most horrible moment of the crucifixion for Jesus. When sin invaded His life and the Father walked away! He felt totally alone!

     | 17,349 views

    Hopelessness is a weapon the enemy uses effectively. It is when you come to that place where you have totally given up and you feel you can do no more - that even God or those you depended on have failed you. But this Christmas you can hope again.
