    Family Services For God

    Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on May 11, 2024
     | 1,925 views

    Joshua said, “But for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15 NLT) I want to use this opportunity to inspire parents to view God's service as a shared family endeavor.

    Often, Satan sows seeds of discouragement to deter families from serving God.

For instance, if one parent is a choir leader, gatekeeper, or priest, and one or two of ...read more

    I wonder how many have a testimony of a time when the Lord said “Go” and you did as directed?

    Sometimes God gives us the opportunity to use the lessons we’ve learned and the comfort He’s given us during difficult times to help others in special ways. God doesn’t comfort us to make us comfortable; He comforts us to make us comforters.

    Part of preparing to celebrate Easter is examining ourselves, whether there is anything not of the new creation in us.

    I’d like to talk to you this evening about humility. Humility has been much misunderstood and, frankly, is quite unpopular today. We can say, “Pride cometh before the fall,” but to really live that out requires radical commitment—a lifestyle that the world is unable to ...read more
