When Jesus Comes, Peace

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Jul 1, 2019

It is a bit audacious to talk about peace on earth in our world today, but Jesus, the Prince of Peace gives us hope.

It’s a bit audacious to talk about peace, even on Christmas day, here in the year 2005, or any year, for that matter.

What In Our World Is God Doing?

Contributed by James Snyder on Feb 4, 2013

How God has worked is how He is working and how He will work. To understand this is to begin to weed out of our life the merely good and concentrate on what God has for us.

What The World Really Needs Now

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Nov 4, 2024

What the world needs now is for the Church to be what God intended for it to be. We need to walk circumspectly, carefully and discreetly making sure our steps are order by the Lord, that He is leading and guiding us and that we are not just wandering aimlessly through this world.

Maughmer, Jr. OPENING:- The other week I spoke about the Evangelical preacher that so-called rebuked the Black church for endorsing and voting for Kamala Harris and by now I am sure you know it was Donnie Swaggart that made the statement and people ...read more

Servant Leadership (The World’s On Fire) - Mark 10:41-45 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jan 28, 2024

In 2020, our President was impeached, economy shut down, 40 million people lost their jobs, widespread corruption at the highest levels of our government are being exposed, and there are riots, beatings, and murders across the country. Jesus shows us that all these rise out of the same root cause.

Mark 10:41 When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John. 42 Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 43 Not so with you. Instead, whoever ...read more

The Anonymous Apostles And The World’s Worst Traitor (Matthew 10:1-4)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 9, 2025

Our look at the Twelve apostles concludes with the last four on the list - James the Less, Simon the Zealot, Jude Thaddeus, and the apostle who threw his calling away, Judas Iscariot.

When we look at the lives of the twelve men whom Jesus chose to be His apostles, we need to make a notation. None of these men would be known today except for the fact that Jesus chose to pull them out from obscurity and ordinary situations. None of them were of renown or any type of prominence. ...read more

God uses our ordinary lives and small acts of integrity to shine Christ’s light, making a meaningful difference wherever we are placed.
