What's Your Excuse?

Contributed by Esther Collins on Mar 20, 2023

When God calls us for a task, do we accept it joyfully or do we give excuses? Here are some common excuses that we should avoid so God can fulfill His great purposes through us.

The Lord wants to use each one of us, and only if we are available and seriously desire to do so can He use us. Every believer in Jesus has a purpose to fulfill and sometimes we miss out because of some excuses that we make. Interestingly, the bible gives us many examples of those who made such ...read more

The Harvest Is Plentiful

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 12, 2025

Jesus modeled how we should be sensitive to the needs of others, be moved with compassion, and see people as ready for the harvest. Rather than praying for others to do the job, we should be engaged too.

Allow me to open our message with an illustration. In his book entitled The Kingdom Focused Church, Gene Mims shares the following account: “After Marco Polo returned from the magnificent imperial court of Kublai Khan in 1926, he wrote that the mighty Khan asked him to request that the Pope send ...read more

A New Era Begins In Israel Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Dec 25, 2025

The government of Israel was administered in the name and authority of God – Israel was a Theocracy and God was their king. His earthly representatives, from Moses to Samuel, had no authority of their own. Their job was to uphold and enforce the Laws of God before the people.

Eventually, however, he was forced to share the responsibilities of government and he chose his 2 sons – Joel and Abijah – to assist him. He appointed them judges and sent ...read more
