God's Calling Israel To Worship In The Covenant Terms

Contributed by Barnabas Park on Jan 8, 2021

God saved Israel from Egypt so that they may worship in truth, not in the way of Egypt or of the Canaanites.

Today, I just want to focus on the last verse, verse 10 “But they did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so the Canaanites have lived among the Ephraimites to this day, but 1they have been forced to work as slaves.” The last verse of the chapter tells us that the tribe of Ephraim ...read more

Fighting God Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 7, 2021

The prophets made it clear that God had a universal love, but the people paid no attention to the prophets. Having this attitude caused them to fail in being God’s servant in reaching the rest of mankind.

The first act of aggression by which one man attacked another with intent to kill was motivated by religious intolerance. Cain could not stand to see Abel in better harmony with God than himself, and the result was murder. This attitude of intolerance is found all through the Old Testament. ...read more

Show Us The Way

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 12, 2015

In the OT times the leaders would come to the prophet desiring God to show them the way for the nation through his prayers. They were willing to obey God even if it was unpleasant for them so that they would have a good relationship with their Father.

Opening illustration: A mother was teaching her three-year-old daughter ‘The Lord’s Prayer.’ For several evenings at bedtime, she repeated it after her mother. One night she said she was ready to solo. The mother listened with pride, as she carefully enunciated each word right up ...read more

The Most Important Exam

Anointing Of The Holy Spirit Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Vivek Gundimi on Sep 4, 2023

"What is the anointing of the Spirit of God? What does it mean to be anointed?" Is it necessary to be anointed by the Spirit of God in the Post Modern Culture such as today?

I want to trace back briefly into history of the practise of anointing and then come to its relevance for us today. The origin of ‘anointing’ was from a practice of shepherds. Lice and other insects would often get into the wool of sheep, and when they got near the sheep's head, they could ...read more

Signs Of Life

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Sep 9, 2023

Taking, hoarding and passivity are signs of death. But the signs of life are the opposite: receiving, giving, and acting.

There was a popular song about 30 years ago which some of you might remember. It went, “They’re rioting in Africa, they’re starving in Spain, there’s hurricanes in Florida and Texas needs rain" ...and ending with “What nature doesn’t do to us will be done by our fellow man.” It only needs a ...read more

The Eternal Word Became One Of Us

Contributed by Vicki Williamson on Feb 28, 2022

Since before the beginning of all things, that is before the beginning as defined by the creative energy of the Eternal Voice, before He spoke light into the darkness and form into the void, He was there. God was there before the beginning.

God,the eternal, all knowing and ever present one. The Father, the Son and Spirit, ?the three are one. One God who is spirit. Only God can create something out of nothing. Before He created, He already knew humanity would give power to their selfish desires and activate evil into His perfect ...read more

Tested In The Wilderness Premium Sermon

Sermon – The Cost Of Having Your Way - Do You Really Want A King?

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Feb 4, 2025

But they wanted a king “the same as all the other nations” (1 Samuel 8:5). So they rejected their true King, the God of heaven and earth. God granted their request and gave them over to their desires, but not without a warning.

To The Sent Vessels Of Mercy,dont Lose Your Definition Series

Contributed by Boniface Simiyu on Nov 8, 2024

Gods children today are surrounded with so much politics that they get drawn into defining their mandate on earth wrongly.

Our good is not necessarily Gods good. And above all things we should remember that our definition of everything about us should be that same definition found in Gods mind: Hence despite wanting good for the nations we live in remember that Jesus lived in Israel but identified himself with his ...read more
