Between Tradition and Trust: The Warning We Can't Ignore
The ancient scribe dips his reed into ink, fingers stained with years of preserving sacred words, as he carefully transcribes the urgent message of Hebrews 3. Outside, persecution grows while Jewish followers of Yeshua gather in shadows, caught between worlds. This isn't merely documentation—it's a lifeline to wavering believers.Hebrews 3 draws a profound comparison between Moses and Jesus that would have resonated deeply with its original audience. The chapter acknowledges Moses' faithfulness "as a servant in God's house" while establishing Jesus as "faithful as the Son over God's house." This wasn't meant to diminish Moses but to fu...

Confrontation in Antioch: Paul, Peter, and the True Gospel
Tensions flare in the early church as Paul recounts a defining confrontation with Peter, one that would shape Christian theology for centuries to come. Through the dusty streets of Antioch, we witness a clash not of personalities but of principles—where the pure gospel of grace collides with the persistent pull of religious tradition.Paul first takes us to Jerusalem, where the apostles who walked with Jesus extend the right hand of fellowship, affirming his ministry to the Gentiles. But harmony quickly fractures when Peter, initially eating freely with Gentile believers, withdraws when certain men arrive from Je...

Holy Procrastination: Why God Wants You to Start Now
What's holding you back from acting on what you believe? Pastor Cleophas Muyelele of Kenya delivers a stirring wake-up call for believers who have been planning, praying, and postponing rather than taking decisive action on their faith.Drawing from James 1:22, Pastor Cleophas reminds us that "faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead." Through powerful biblical examples like Hannah's persistence that led to Samuel's birth, the hemorrhaging woman who pushed through crowds to touch Jesus' garment, four desperate lepers who risked everything by approaching an enemy camp, and Simon Peter's reluctant but faithful...

It is Finished: The Final Breath of the Savior
The weight of the wooden cross presses deep into torn flesh as Jesus staggers toward Golgotha. Simon of Cyrene, unexpectedly thrust into salvation's narrative, shoulders the burden alongside the Savior. Their eyes meet briefly—a wordless exchange filled with sorrow and unfathomable love. At the hill called "the place of the skull," Roman soldiers methodically secure Jesus to the cross. Nails pierce flesh and bone. The cross rises with a sickening jolt. Between two thieves, Jesus hangs suspended between heaven and earth. One criminal mocks, the other seeks mercy. "Today you will be with me in paradise," Jes...

The Lamb Surrenders: Jesus’ Arrest at Gethsemane

Ambassadors of Christ: Breaking Free from Earthly Limitations
Pastor Jones Britus is from Haiti, where English is his second language. He asks, "What makes the difference between a ministry that creates temporary change and a ministry that transforms lives forever?" The answer lies in where we operate. Drawing from John 6:63, we explore the revolutionary concept that "it is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing." This isn't just a theological statement—it's a practical roadmap for effective ministry. Jesus didn't attempt to reach heaven from earth; instead, He brought heaven's presence to earth in everything He did.Many believers limit their imp...

Holy Ground: When Burning Bushes Don't Burn Out
Evangelist Darrell Richardson brings us back to center when doubt creeps in silently.

After fleeing Egypt and spending 40 years in exile, Moses found himself in a barren wasteland, tending sheep at 80 years old, likely questioning the God he...
