    The Prayer Of Our Savior

    Contributed by Brad Stone on Aug 23, 2019
     | 7,419 views

    Christ, while facing His crucifixion, offered a prayer to the Father for His disciples as well as you and I that ends showing Christ' desire for us to be forever with Him in Glory someday. His prayer is a beautiful reminder of His love for us and a desire for us to do well.

    THE PRAYER OF OUR SAVIOR John 17 Text- John 17:9 INTRODUCTION Looking at our text, it is important that we understand what is occurring during this time in the life of Christ as well as what his disciples are about to encounter in their walk. It is important to understand that this is potentially ...read more

     | 15,615 views

    During His first visit, the people of Decapolis desired Jesus to depart from them. When He returned, they were glad to see Him, and desired healing. They declared: He has done all things well. No doubt our Lord does all things well.

    Doing all Things Well Mark 7: 31-37 In our text today we find Jesus on a journey, making His way from the Gentile cities of Tyre and Sidon to the Sea of Galilee. He had taken a route that brought Him through the region of Decapolis on the east side of Galilee. This is the same region where Jesus ...read more

    Sermon # 9 - Seek The Lord Series

     | 555 views

    Those who seek God and desire to have an intimate relationship with Him, will truly be blessed and will become a blessing to many. Abraham and David are great examples to us of men who truly desired God and sought after Him with all their heart and thereby became a great blessing to many.

    We read in Psalms 53:2, “From heaven God looks down to see if anyone is wise enough to search for him.” (CEV) As we read Psalm 53:2, we realize something very important, that God is looking down from heaven to see if there is anyone among the mankind whom He has created, who are truly seeking ...read more

    How To Live By The Spirit's Leading: The Spirit Vs. The Flesh In Galatians 5-6 Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Feb 5, 2024
     | 2,124 views

    If you do allow the Holy Spirit to lead your life, then you naturally won’t want to gratify the desires of the flesh. But, if you allow the flesh to lead your life, then you will naturally begin to gratify the desires of the flesh. Live by the Spirit's leading!

    I recall an episode of Star Trek Voyager that always hit me very hard. It was called Timeless. The Voyager was a spaceship that had ended up far, far from home, and it was slowly making it’s way back through unknown territory. It reminds me of us, as Christians, lost in the wilds of this fallen ...read more

    Receiving Treasure In Heaven

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 5, 2022
     | 1,562 views

    Our treasure on earth eclipses our desire for "treasure in heaven." Only God can give us a desire for "treasure in heaven." Therefore, we must forsake our treasure on earth and follow Jesus to receive "treasure in heaven."

    You will notice how this passage begins. We are told that Jesus ‘was setting out on his journey’ (v. 17). And we know where that journey will lead. It will take Jesus to Jerusalem, where a cross awaits Him. He has already foretold His death twice in recent days, and He will speak of it again—in ...read more

     | 1,584 views

    Sometimes, the most detrimental thing God can do is to grant us our desires. The prodigal son's journey to a 'far country' symbolizes a place that first exists in our hearts. This journey and his eventual return home teaches us about the dangers of desire and the power of forgiveness.

    Today, we will explore the parable of the Prodigal Sons, which is the third story in a series of parables told by Jesus. This parable, along with the stories of a lost coin and a missing sheep, teaches us important lessons about God's love and forgiveness. Let us dive into the story and uncover its ...read more

     | 15,868 views

    Defeat the flesh by depending on the Spirit: live by the Spirit and so conquer the desires of the flesh; be led by the Spirit and so conquer the deeds of the flesh; and walk with the Spirit and so enjoy the death of the flesh.

    Jo Guerrero’s five-year-old daughter, Barbara, had disobeyed her mother and had been sent to her room. After a few minutes, Jo (the mom) went in to talk with her about what she had done. Teary-eyed, the little girl asked, “Why do we do wrong things, Mommy?” Jo replied, “Sometimes the devil tells ...read more

    Pursuing Righteousness

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jan 28, 2025
     | 554 views

    Righteousness is a journey that requires dedication and dependence on God. By pursuing righteousness, we grow closer to God, reflect His character, and become lights in a dark world. Let us prioritise righteousness, trusting God to guide and sustain us in this pursuit.

    Title: PURSUING RIGHTEOUSNESS By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 2 Timothy 2:22 "Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart." Supporting Texts: Matthew 5:6, Proverbs 21:21, 1 Timothy 6:11, Isaiah 51:1, ...read more

     | 21,209 views

    “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it” Mat. 16:24-25.

    Theme: Take up your cross daily and follow Christ Text: Jer. 20:7-9; Rom. 12:1-2; Mat. 16:21-27 An important question we all need to ask ourselves is how a person becomes a Christian and what is expected of Christians?

    “Whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave – just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many” Matt 20:26-28.

    Theme: Achieving greatness God’s way Text: Ex. 12:21-28; Matt. 20:20-28 The purpose for Christ’s coming to earth is contained in the statement, “The Son of man came to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many”.

    If we do not desire God's will for the life of the church, then we will see the Body of Christ fall far short of God's will.

    "Let The Body Beware!" 1 John 2:18-28 The human body gives us one of the most awe-inspiring illustrations of a deep biblical truth that all of us should aspire to live out as we seek to be obedient to God's call upon our lives.
