We cannot change the world. But we can change the world of a person.

One Saturday morning a minister was busily trying to prepare his sermon under the most difficult conditions. It was a rainy day, and his young son was restless and bored, with little to do.

How Much Must We Do? Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 30, 2016

It’s ironic that when dealing with these positive commandments, we don’t ever come to a point when we can say, “I have fulfilled them.”

As Jesus Is So Are We In This World

Contributed by Gbemisola Fafowora on Sep 16, 2019

When I realised that as Jesus is so am I in this world I was shocked and amazed at the same time. This revelation has done a lot of things in my life.

This verse in the WORD of God is so powerful and it says a lot to us as the body of Christ. We are not just human beings we carry in us Christ himself. And I believe that it's time to see ourselves has a vessel of honour that God through His Son chose to live in. Our bodies is the temple of ...read more

When Scars Remain Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 31, 2022

David set in motion many troubles from his sin with Bathsheba. He is forgiven, but the consequences of sin play out. Not all problems are a result of sin and we don’t usually see such a one to one correlation between our past sin and our problems but it is explicitly clear in King David’s case.

Fairytales are so uplifting. Prince charming rescues the princes and of course they live happily ever after. A lot of traumatic things happened to the princes before prince charming rescued her. The fairytale ending whitewashes the harsh reality of the remaining scars. Everyone has struggles. Yes, ...read more

Are We Committed?

Contributed by Sean Harder on Jan 21, 2011

The Bible is clear on what a true Christian should look like. Are we committed to being that person?

If there is one thing I have found to be crucial to my Christian walk, it is the constant surrender of my will. When doubt is creeping into my faith - I surrender. When I am afraid, I surrender. When I want Scripture to say something other than what it says, I surrender. When I don’t ...read more

We Are The Church Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 16, 2011

Why would Paul list such a long boooring list of people at the end of such a powerful New Testament book? Why waste the ink? The answer to that question is both intriguing and exciting to those of who belong to Jesus.

I opened the sermon by asking the congregation to join with me in singing: “I’m So Glad I’m A Part Of The Family of God I’ve been washed in the fountain, cleansed by His blood Joint heirs with Jesus as we travel this sod For I’m part of the family, the family of God.” If you’re a Christian here ...read more

We Know In Part Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 10, 2003

We know little about life after death, but we do know that heaven is not possessing things, that hell is about separation from God, and that the love of God will reach even to the most alienated.

We think that having things will make us happy. The truth is that happiness comes from sharing what you have with someone you love. Fulfillment is not measured by how much you have. Genuine fulfillment is measured by who you have it with. That is true in this life. I believe that is also true ...read more
