  • When Life Is Hard

    Contributed by Rakesh Sharma on Oct 25, 2024
     | 865 views

    As we navigate through difficult seasons, let us remember that faith is not the absence of doubt but the perseverance through it. Trust in God's goodness, rely on your community, and keep your eyes on His miracles, for in every challenge lies the opportunity for profound growth.

    >> Opening Bible Reading Luke 7:18-23 18 John's disciples told him about all these things. Calling two of them, he sent them to the Lord to ask, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?” 19 When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to you ...read more

  • Re-Visioning

     | 5,329 views

    Our Scripture today is from Proverbs 29:18 “Without a vision the people perish.” With a clear vision from Christ, no ocean of difficulty is too great. Without it, we rarely move beyond our current boundaries or comfort zones.

    Re-visioning Proverbs 29:18 Lynn Anderson tells the story a shipload of pilgrims who landed on the northeast coast of America 350 years ago. The first year they established a town site. The next year they elected a town government. The third year the town government planned to build a road five ...read more

  • Part 2: The Refiner's Fire (Divine Refinement And Trust) Series

    Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Jan 20, 2026
     | 116 views

    In the last sermon, we explored the mystery of God's hiddenness. We acknowledged that God is often silent and our hearts cry out for Him to speak. But silence, we learned, does not mean absence. God is hidden from our perception, but not withdrawn from His work.

    Today, we turn to perhaps the most difficult question of all. If God is silent and yet still working, what exactly is He doing? What is the purpose of the silence? Why does God allow us to walk through seasons where prayer seems unanswered, where Scripture feels distant, where we cannot sense His ...read more

  • The Parable Of The Tares

    Contributed by William Mouser on Jul 18, 2005
    based on 7 ratings
     | 6,345 views

    How does Jesus’ parable, which argues for leaving tares undisturbed, square with admonitions in the epistles to discipline errant members of the congregation?

    Matthew 13:24-30,36-43 As far as the parables of our Lord are concerned, the one before us in today’s gospel is certainly clear. Some of them are not so clear, even when our Lord interprets them for his disciples; and others are left in the gospel record uninterpreted. This one, however, is ...read more

    Jesus leaves "weeds" in place to grow. Why don’t we? Because God loves better than we do!

    Some of Jesus’ parable is lost to us city dwellers. He was speaking to members of a much more agrarian society. They probably understood this in much more vivid terms than do we)but I think that we can learn some valuable lessons from this parable. I know that none of us here are farmers. ...read more
