     | 5,261 views

    If we have accepted the name of Christ as our own, it means we have repented of our sins, given up our desires and our preferences and submitted fully to Him. Are we submitted to Him or still trying to live fulfilling our own selfish needs?

    Are we committed? 1 Peter Sermon Series, Part 12 1 Peter 4:12--19 Introduction - Peter now ties these two chapters (sufferings of Christ and living for Him) -- There is a huge implication here about adopting the same attitude as He did -- He suffered, was broken, and died because of the ...read more

    The rise of Christianity in the West propelled Western nations to great advances in science, economics and politics. This Christian foundation is the basis for America's freedom and greatness, and is in great danger as America turns away from God.

    This week, America celebrates 239 years of political independence. But Freedom is more threatened now than at any time since the General Howe nearly defeated Washington’s army on the shores of Long Island in 1776. Friday’s ruling by the US Supreme Court is not ultimately about ...read more

    Opposing The Opposition

    These are hard times for the churches across North America. We have the greatest message the world could ever hope to hear but people shut their ears and hearts to it. So what are we to do?

    Opposing the opposition - Jeremiah 11:18-20 This week I was drawn to the book of Jeremiah. God called him to a difficult task at a difficult time. Jeremiah was calling out to the people of God but they wanted none of it. In fact they had enough of Jeremiah and planned to kill him because he ...read more

    Perhaps Jeremiah's best-known prophecy was "...I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant I made with their fathers...I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts." What law?

    There is suffering all around us. How do we make sense of all the suffering ? Especially the suffering that good people go through? Where can we turn to when we need to make sense of our suffering.

    Allow me to start with a well-known and (may be poor) joke about marriage. You all know about the three rings of marriage right, It starts with the engagement ring, it gets solemnized with the wedding ring and then continues with… suffering. Right?

    We must understand that our nation is on the verge of birth pangs and there is a desperate cry for revival in the body of Christ. Numerous obstacles do not create a conducive atmosphere for it to birth, so what do we do as a church about it?

Never in my 24 years of ministry and 35 years of knowing Christ personally have I known a time of such ...read more
