Redeeming One’s Life From Meh! Series

Contributed by Charles Wilkerson on Dec 8, 2009

Growing our hearts three sizes larger takes not only giving but a redemptive type of giving. It seeks the best for others and is carried out with a sense of rejoicing

A few of you understand the sermon title but some will be mystified by the word "meh". Is there someone who would like to try to define it for us? It is a slang term that communicates an attitude of apathy or indifference toward something. My favorite definition is that meh is a verbal shrug. What ...read more

A Blessing In Disguise

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Feb 19, 2024

I wonder if a person truly understands what it means when they respond, “I’m blessed.” There are two types of blessings: worldly blessings and spiritual blessings.

Judgment against those who violated God’s law (Jeremiah 36:1-6), especially regarding the stealing and lying (5:1-4). The woman in the ephah (basket) exemplified wickedness, thus this vision showed that ...read more

We Need Increase

Contributed by Ricky White on Jun 5, 2021

It is impossible to please God without faith. Faith is the way that operate as true believers. Life comes at us in all types of ways and there will be times that we need an increase in faith.

The bible tells us that faith is a gift from God. The bible also teaches us that without faith it is impossible to please God. The Word teaches that • By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain • By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to ...read more

Spiritual Weapons

Contributed by Daniel Olukoya on Jul 8, 2009

New birth is a spiritual thing and those that are born again are the true children of God. They no longer have the urge for things of this world. Vices like drinking, smoking, telling lies, womanizing, anger and the likes are no longer part of their lives

SPIRITUAL WEAPONS Dr. D. K. Olukoya Beloved, the thrust of our message today is that our weapons of warfare are not carnal, and fights with our adversaries are never in the physical but in a realm that is invisible to the naked eye. Therefore I implore you to open up your spirit as you read ...read more

Do You Know Him?

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Nov 7, 2014

More of an exhortation type proclamation on who Jesus is. The better we understand Him, the more we will be able to trust Him, and the more we will be able to surrender to Him.

As Christians, we are always energized when we see others coming to Christ and surrendering their own wills over to His will for them. But as glorious of a thing as that is, it is also the main reason why more people do not come to Christ: Because they would have to surrender their own wills to ...read more
