Before It’s Too Late

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 19, 2018

As a spiritual people it is important for us to realize the spiritual signs of the times that we are living in. By the time that Jesus arrived the Jews fell into a kind of spiritual numbness that led to complacency. For them it was just another day.

Before it’s too Late Luke 12:54-59 54 He said to the crowd: “When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, ‘It’s going to rain,’ and it does. And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It’s going to be hot,’ and it is. Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the ...read more

Vigilar Y Orar

Contributed by James Dina on Jul 21, 2020

Vigilad y rezad, para que no caigáis en la tentación. Observar excita la oración, porque cada enemigo que veamos nos moverá a rezar con más fervor. Si hay una verdadera vigilancia, la vigilancia en sí es una oración.

VIGILAR Y ORAR "Entonces se acercó a los discípulos y los encontró durmiendo, y le dijo a Pedro: "¿Qué? ¿No podrías vigilar conmigo una hora? Vigilad y orad, no sea que entréis en ...read more

Feet First: Moving From 'wait-And-See' To 'step-And-Seize'

Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Dec 29, 2025

We spend too much time praying for doors to open and not enough time walking toward them. This sermon provides three physical actions to take during the New Year crossover to ensure you don't just "watch" the year happen, but you "occupy" the promises God has for you.

Most people approach the New Year like a spectator at a swimming pool they stand on the edge, shivering, dipping a toe in to see if the "water" of the coming year is warm enough to jump. They wait for a sign, a feeling, or a "word" before they make a move. But as we stand at the ...read more

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on May 4, 2022

We, as believers of God and His word, should be on the lookout for deception in the realm of religion, for we are warned about it several times in the Scriptures. And if it is such a danger, we need to know what forms of deception may be used against us and prepare ourselves.
