Contributed on Jul 17, 2024

6. Sermon # 6 - Lessons From Three Kings
Contributed on Jul 19, 2024
Are we at peace with those around us? Do we remain content or is there a spirit of covetousness? Are we overcomers or do we give in to temptations? The record of three Kings will help us examine our own lives so we can realize where we stand.
In the previous sermon we studied in depth about the need to make wise, and godly choices. We were reminded that while some decisions are inconsequential, others have a permanent effect on our lives. We considered Abraham and his nephew Lot. Lot made some wrong choices that landed him in Sodom, ...read more

Contributed on Aug 1, 2024
Do we wait for God’s timing or do we rush ahead of God? What happens when we speak words of doubt and disbelief instead of faith and trust in God? If we can learn to speak right and stay silent when we have to we will be blessed and avoid many pitfalls.

We must abide in Christ and those who choose to do otherwise will be cut off. Also the Lord has chosen us so we can lead others into His kingdom. Like Abraham, every believer must also have a burden to pray and intercede for those who are lost without Christ.

12. Sermon # 12 - God's Grace And Man's Responsibility
Contributed on Aug 15, 2024
God’s grace and His justice are like two sides of the same coin. Both go hand in hand and if we underplay one or overplay the other, we will err and miss out on God’s eternal reward. The life of Lot and his family will help us understand this better.
We read in Genesis 19:16, When Lot still hesitated, the angels seized his hand and the hands of his wife and two daughters and rushed them to safety outside the city, for the LORD was merciful.
