"Pausing For The Blessing”

Contributed by Bubot Parago on Feb 21, 2019

In this hurry-up world, fast-paced technologies, waiting for anything can cause us to lose our temper, our patience and our good sense—more frequently than we care to admit!

Remember Your Leaders Series

Contributed by John Newton on Nov 16, 2022

It seems to me that this concluding chapter is something of a catch-all. I can imagine that the author’s hand might be aching after all this writing. So now he is packing as much as he can into his concluding words.

Wow! We’ve been reading and making our way through Hebrews for a long time. It was way back in January that we started. Now it seems almost as though that is shrouded in the mists of history. And I want to express my gratitude to Pastor Marvin, who has steadfastly and faithfully been leading us ...read more

The Church Of Smyrna: Possessing The Wealth Of Heaven (Revelation 2:8-11)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 18, 2023

Within the city of Smyrna, there existed a struggling Christian community undergoing intense and withering persecution. The Lord Jesus came to them with a word of comfort for their dark days. Even though they were poor, they were, in fact, rich beyond imagination.

In our look at the seven churches of Asia Minor described in Revelation, Chapters 2 and 3, we come to the second church the Lord Jesus addresses in terms of testimony and steadfastness to the Gospel. This is the church in the city of Smyrna, which was located about 35 miles north of Ephesus. ...read more

The Miracle With A Purpose

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 30, 2023

Matt 14:13-21 - The Miracle With A Purpose Jesus did many miracles in the course of His ministry but the feeding of the 5000 is the only one recorded in all the 4 Gospels (Matt 14, Mark 6, Luke 9 and John 6). • All four writers find it significant enough to record it down.

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Jun 27, 2021

Loosing your focus on God, always leads to the enslavement of some kind of sin! And like any other circumstance, if you set up a cot there you’re going to be staying enslaved longer, than you can imagine!

Set The Captives Free

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 24, 2024

Jesus came to set the captives free from every form of captivity imaginable, so why are we not free? In order to experience freedom from captivity, we must receive the free gift that Jesus has given us.
