In this podcast, Elders Randall & DeBorrah K. Ogans share biblically based insight, guidance, and advice on Life & Living, Marriage & Relationships, Family & Parenting, Faith & Belief, Church & Religion, Spiritual Health, and more. Weekly episodes encourage listeners to live life out loud, walking/living in the light, doing what the Lord requires of us in every area of life. What does the Lord require of us? To act justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with our God. Jesus said "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life". To walk in the light is to have a daily commitment to living out a righteous life. Blessed(happy) are those who walk in the light of His presence. His word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. For it is in Him that we live, and move, and have our being. This then is the message which we have heard of Him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son, cleanseth us from all sin. Always keep in mind, the transforming power of the Lord, is truth. Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and everything else will be added unto you. If you haven't already, make a commitment today, to start Walking In the Light. Subscribe to the Podcast and let us aid you in your walk with the Lord.

In this episode, we focus on the New Testament book of III John. It contrasts effective spiritual leadership with an immature and self-serving leader who sought preeminence, was unwelcoming to visiting teachers, and lacked genuine hospitality, ultimately hindering true fellowship.
These actions are detrimental because they disrupt true fellowship, create chaos and conflict, hinder the spread of the Gospel, and place personal power ...

Palm Sunday is a day to remember. It is the day the Church celebrates Jesus being acknowledged as the Messiah, riding on a donkey into the city of Jerusalem. Crowds laid down palm branches and cloaks in his path signifying honor and royalty. It marks the beginning of what Christians call "Holy Week".

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
Psalm 2 is a Messianic prophecy that foretells Jesus Christ's coronation and sovereign a...
