1 PETER 5:5-6 Pride takes root in different forms and shapes. For some people, it’s overconfidence in their abilities, for others, self-supremacy over peers, yet for others, it’s an overarching self-righteousness. Regardless of it’s form, pride is a deadly sin that can easily go undetected in our lives. A simple pat on the back can […]

Liberty Breakfast by Luke Barson (Rev)-Traits Of Pride Pt. 2
1PETER 5:5-6 Many people are usually blind to their own faults, and this is extremely dangerous, especially for those in higher positions of life, and in particular those of us in ministry positions in the church. Let me remind you that ministry simply means service. Very sadly, we have all witnessed great preachers go down […]
Liberty Breakfast by Luke Barson (Rev)-Traits Of Pride Pt. 1
1 PETER 5:5-6 “IN THE SAME WAY, YOU WHO ARE YOUNGER, SUBMIT YOURSELVES TO YOUR ELDERS. ALL OF YOU, CLOTHE YOURSELVES WITH HUMILITY TOWARD ONE ANOTHER…” One of the things that brings people from the top to the bottom of life is pride.

Liberty Breakfast by Luke Barson (Rev)-Why Are You Still Bitter? Pt. 3
PROVERBS 20:22 I can’t tell you how many times I have been offended, hurt, betrayed and blackmailed. I chose to free myself because I do not want to be devastated by bitterness. Growing up, one of the things that nearly broke my heart was when I would graze my cattle by the only primary school […]
Liberty Breakfast: by Luke Barson (Rev)-Why Are You Still Bitter? Pt. 2
PROVERBS 20:22 One thing I have realised over the years is that, bitterness blows out the candle of joy and leaves both the spirit and the soul in darkness. Usually, the seed of bitterness is a HURT that is planted in someone intentionally or unintentionally. In most cases, people do not really want to hurt […]

PROVERBS 20:22 “DO NOT SAY, “I’LL PAY BACK FOR THIS WRONG”, WAIT FOR THE LORD, AND HE WILL AVENGE YOU”.

Liberty Breakfast: by Luke Barson (Rev)-Needless Comparisons Pt. 2
2 CORINTHIANS 10:17 It appears many people find it difficult to avoid comparison, though they claim to be full of the Holy Spirit. They know it isn’t godly, but it’s so difficult to avoid. We hear it every day in Ghana, between our political elite, who, instead of spending time to improve the lives of […]
Liberty Breakfast: by Luke Barson (Rev)-Needless Comparisons
2 CORINTHIANS 10:17 “AS THE SCRIPTURE SAYS,”IF YOU WANT TO BOAST, BOAST ONLY ABOUT THE LORD” I sincerely believe without a shadow of doubt that, God wants us to be ourselves. It is actually far outside of God’s will to start comparing ourselves to others. About three years ago I preached at a programme in […]
Liberty Breakfast by Luke Barson (Rev)-Deceptive Friends Pt. 2
JOSHUA 9:9(10-27) One of the biggest strategies of deceptive friends is their ability to shower praises. Notice how the Gibeonites started praising the exploits of Joshua and His God. (Joshua 9:3-8) There are genuine friends who will genuinely praise you in your success, but they are also quick to rebuke or correct you when you […]

JOSHUA 9:9 “THEY ANSWERED:”YOUR SERVANTS HAVE COME FROM A VERY FAR DISTANT COUNTRY BECAUSE OF THE FAME OF YOUR GOD..” (KINDLY READ FROM VERSE 1-27 NIV) Two significant things happened to me that shook the foundation of my ministry. A young man came to live with me. He was a member of a church I […]
Liberty Breakfast: by Luke Barson (Rev)-Don’t Judge So Quickly Pt. 2
JAMES 4:11-12 Sadly, most Ghanaians are so quick to pass judgement on others. This quick judgmental attitude has led to instant justice meted out to innocent people, some of which are very sad and unpleasant deaths. Christians should be known for how deeply we LOVE. My many years on the pulpit has however shown the […]
Liberty Breakfast: by Luke Barson (Rev)-Don’t Judge So Quickly
JAMES 4:11-12 “BROTHERS AND SISTERS, DO NOT SLANDER ONE ANOTHER. ANYONE WHO SPEAKS AGAINST A BROTHER OR SISTER OR JUDGES THEM SPEAKS AGAINST THE LAW OR JUDGES IT. THERE IS ONLY ONE LAW GIVER AND JUDGE. One of the many things I have learned over the years is that; sometimes people can be too clever […]
