    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 3, 2021
     | 1,390 views

    I sense timidity, exhaustion. Why do you look so tired? Why do you look so stretched? You appear as one who lacks hope.

    I sense timidity, exhaustion. Why do you look so tired? Why do you look so stretched? You appear as one who lacks hope. Have you no hope? Have you lost it somewhere? Has hope run off and hid itself? Is it running from you, just out of reach? Many walk in a trance, rigid, furled brows, ...read more

    How to spot and deal with troublemakers in the Church

    (Acts 20:17-30) "shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock." It was not unintentional that God chose to use the illustration of Shepherd, Sheep, and wolves, to speak of the church. It is in fact a very accurate portrayal of life in the church. The Lord speaks of Himself as ...read more

    Saints, there is a colossal invisible war between good and evil taking place around us and just as retired Generals we see on TV explaining the strategy of of our enemy, this message will serve to open our eyes to expose the strength and methods that our enemy loves to use against God's people.

    SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES (Romans 7:14-25) (14) "For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin." (15) "For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but ...read more

    His basic problem with the church in Ephesus is that even though church members had stood fast against evil and false teaching, they had left their “first love”—their basic love for Christ and for one another.

    The Sound Of The Church

     | 14,290 views

    The glory of God carries a sound and that sound has a message. The church must have a different sound than the world. What is the sound and message of the Church of God?

    1 Corinthians 14:7 – 8 1 Samuel 4:1 – 11; 7:2 – 11 I believe that everyone here will agree that every sound carries some sort of message. For instance, if your teenage child slams the door of his/her room, it carries the message of someone that is angry. Or, if you asked your children to wash the ...read more

    Peace comes hard for some at Christmas. We must be open to what God wants to give, we must get down to what God wants us to be doing, and we must find meaning in our ordinary pursuits.

    National Baptist Memorial Church, Washington, DC, Dec. 19, 2004 These are stressful days. There is too much going on. Too much work, too much to think about, too many demands. Stressful. We’d really like some peace, wouldn’t we? Just a moment or two of quiet – ...read more

    The Church at Laodicea, a church, it seems, with no redeeming qualities. Luke warm, every church was commended for something, except the Laodicean church. Are we like the Laodicean church?

     | 6,954 views

    I cried to God and He has heard me, and attended to the voice of my prayer; Blessed be God, who has not turned away my prayer, nor His mercy away from me.

    WHY PRAYERS ARE NOT ANSWERED "I cry unto you, and you do not hear me: I stand up, and you didn't regard me" (Job 30:20) I prayed and cried to "the God that answers prayer" but He does not answer; Maybe He didn't hear me. That's the question that goes on in the ...read more
