Children - Gifts From God

Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Feb 16, 2022

Children are gifts from God. Christian parents should recognise that they are care givers, trusted with a charge to raise and nurture godly children for God. It is an arduous but rewarding task if properly executed.

TEXT: PSALMS 127:3-5 (NLT) "Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a reward from him. Children born to a young man are like arrows in a warrior’s hands. How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them! He will not be put to shame when he confronts his accusers at the city ...read more

Lessons From A Dollar Bill

Contributed by Perry Greene on Apr 1, 2021

There are many ways we can learn to "see" God and His hand. Jesus used nature at times. He also used a coin to point to God. Our money points to Him, too.

1. Matthew 22:15-22 15 Then the Pharisees went and plotted how to entangle him in his words. 16 And they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are true and teach the way of God truthfully, and you do not care about anyone's opinion, for you ...read more

Sermon On A Gift From God

Contributed by William Meakin on Nov 16, 2021

A gift from God is defined by the Longman Dictionary as: “Something good you receive or something good that happens to you, even though you might not deserve it.”

Eckhart von Hochheim OP, commonly known as Meister Eckhart, a German theologian, philosopher and mystic once remarked: “Above all else, know this: Be prepared at all times for the gifts of God and be ready always for new ones. For God is a thousand times more ready to give than we are to receive.” ...read more

Death From Christians Perspective Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Nov 22, 2021

Some deaths people treat as a “tragic end”, but for some deaths, people say “well-earned rest”. Our judgments are not true because those are based on outward known deeds. Death reveals mysteries.

Message for Memorial Day – Theme: DEATH in Christian Perspective Text: 1 Corinthians 15:56 The Diagnosis A woman accompanied her husband to visit a doctor. After his check-up, the doctor called the wife into his chamber. He said, "If you don't do the following, your husband will surely ...read more

Preaching From Philippians #1

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021

In Paul’s writings, his greetings varied from church to church. He made the greetings fit the church he was addressing and the things he wanted to talk about.

For example, when he wrote to the Corinthians he stated that he was an Apostle in his greetings. Look at 1 Cor. 1:1 “Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother.” He did not mention that he was an Apostle in his address to the Philippians! He ...read more

Preaching From Philippians #4

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021

In Chapter one, Paul let these Christians in Philippi know that he wanted to come to them, but couldn’t because he was in jail.

He also wanted them to know that his being in jail might bring about his death, but if it did, they were not to let it shake their faith in the Lord Jesus. He did not want them to feel sorry for him or for themselves, because Paul let it be known that for him “TO LIVE IS CHRIST AND TO DIE IS ...read more

Preaching From Philippians #5

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021

This little passage of scripture is loaded with wonderful teachings about the Lord Jesus Christ. Some believe it is one of the greatest passages in the Bible concerning the Lord Jesus Christ.

It gives us a picture of the humility of Christ like we have never seen before. If the church today is ever going to accomplish anything for the Lord, we are going to have to know and possess the humility of Christ. Illus: Some of the New Testament Christians caught this vision. The attitude of ...read more

Preaching From Philippians #6

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021

In this passage of scripture, Paul talks to the Philippian Christians about salvation. That may seem strange because these people said they were Believers.

A good pastor deals with the subject of salvation for two reasons: (1) He knows it is a possibility that many are deceived about their salvation. The Lord Himself dealt with this deception in Matthew 7:22-23, we read, “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy ...read more

Preaching From Philippians # 13

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021

Today we conclude our study in the book of Philippians by looking at some of the professional secrets of Paul’s success in the Christian life.

Everyone has trade secrets in their profession. Illus: A married couple shared some marriage secrets about why they had a happy marriage. • They said, “One reason we have a happy marriage is that we go two times a week to a nice restaurant, she goes Tuesday's, I go Friday's.” • Another ...read more

The Lamb Slain From The Foundation

Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 19, 2024

Jesus’ sacrifice on Calvary didn’t just happen 2,000 years ago, but before time began. He's the Lamb slain from before time. Today, His blood is still speaking. In Rev. 5 He's seen as a wounded Lamb & in His 2nd Coming wears a vesture dipped in blood!

THE LAMB SLAIN FROM THE FOUNDATION Rev. 13:8 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. I heard a funny story about the dangers of falling asleep in church. One man said, 2. “I fell asleep in church.
