Ambassadors For Jesus

Contributed by Sunday Adelaja on Jan 16, 2008

Everyone is trying to find God – just as it was in those days, when Jesus was on the earth, so it is also in our day.

Everyone is trying to find God – just as it was in those days, when Jesus was on the earth, so it is also in our day. Some people say, there is no God, whereas others say that they do not need Him. But people’s attitude to life and behaviour testify clearly that in the heart of every person there ...read more

Can I Be Bold When Sharing My Faith In Jesus With Others?

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Jul 28, 2007

Boldness in ’evangelism’ comes through being filled with God’s Holy Spirit. That’s how we can be bold when sharing our faith with others.

Love Looks Like Something

Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Feb 1, 2004

Epiphany 4: What we say we believe and what we do can sometimes be at odds with each other. If we are to live out the mission that God has given the Church, love looks like his people sharing Jesus with others.

In these words, God gives us a beautiful description of what ‘love’ looks like: "If I speak in the tongues of men and of ...read more

MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK A. I’m convinced that if there is one thing the world really needs to know more about, & to put into practice, it is love. In fact, so important is love that Jesus devoted a whole section of the Sermon on the Mount to it. ...read more
