    Jesus' Brothers Get It Wrong Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Mar 4, 2023
     | 2,123 views

    Jesus' brothers gave Jesus some advice. It wasn't very good advice. But we can learn from it, about assumptions, about accepting Jesus as Lord, and about dealing with pressure from our families.

    Today, we’re continuing in our series ‘Encounters with Jesus in John’s gospel.’ I’m going to focus on the first eight verses of John 7. These tell us about an encounter Jesus’ brothers had with him. As usual, I’ll try to give the context. Then we’ll look at what happened. After that, we’ll ...read more

    Sermon # 35 - Prayers That Please God Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 11, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 253 views

    Are our prayers pleasing to God? What are the things that we ask God for when we go to Him in prayer? May our prayers be faith-filled and our petitions in accordance with God’s will so that our prayers are pleasing and acceptable to God.

    Our meditation for today is based on Ephesians 5:10, “Try to learn what pleases the Lord.” (ERV) The above mentioned verse exhorts us to find out what are those things that are pleasing to God, and to lead such kind of lives that God would delight in. It is an unchanging fact that God loves us, ...read more

    Pass The Buck? Blame Game!

    Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Aug 27, 2025
     | 141 views

    From the beginning of time, humanity has the tenancy to not accept the responsibility for the words and actions . Adam blamed Eve. Eve blamed the serpent. Cain ask: AM I MY BROTHER'S KEEPER? We must quit blaming others!

    The Problem is not if we can believe, but the problem is are we willing to trust and accept God’s plan? Shall Jesus find faith? The apple is fact, the apple seed is a tangible sign of faith. In the seed is a plan of God to bring forth fruit. You can count

    Pointing To The Light Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 11, 2009
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,471 views

    John the Baptist knew who he was not and who he was, and accepted his task of pointing to Christ. Our mistakes are imagining that we are more than we are, or that we are less than we are. The real task is: just point to the light.

    My son and his wife live in a five-level townhouse in Reston, Virginia. You enter into a kind of combination corridor and stairwell at the second level. Typically I turn right when I arrive and go into the kitchen area. But when I leave that level to go to another one, I walk out of that kitchen ...read more

    Repentance

    Contributed by Fran Van Hoven on Jun 28, 2007
    based on 2 ratings
     | 13,348 views

    According to the New Testament, there’s a difference between repentance and remorse.Part of the problem may be our mistake in thinking that sorrow and confession are enough to produce change. Another part is the misunderstanding of the process of change-

    Repentance Many changes come naturally as we mature. Sometimes, though, negative habits form deep ruts, and it seems we can’t change, no matter how much we want to. Friends urge us to alter our course and warn us of dangers ahead if we don’t. We read in Scripture about God’s path of ...read more

    The Call: Come By Pastor John Mateos Ong

    Contributed by John Ong on Nov 16, 2017
     | 8,184 views

    God offers us a great banquet that sometimes we doubted for being too good to be true, but we can prove to ourselves that our Lord’s offer is far more than what we thought if we only surrender to him and accept His calling.

    Many of us have been blinded by unnecessary things that life itself offers. Prestigious car, jewelry, and a feast of delicious food are just some of what we believe are the best things to receive and attain in our lives. And because of these unnecessary things that we tend to value, we have ignored ...read more

    We as the Body of Christ need to follow Jesus example to serve others so as to make an eternal difference in a person’s life. We need to go the extra mile like Jesus did!

    Anyone can draw a crowd if they try hard enough, but it is something quite different to build a church (body) and have the Lord to call is successful. Surely God is calling more Titus's to follow this calling

    "Christ" was not Jesus' last name. It was a description of WHO He was. So what does it mean that Jesus is the Christ, and what difference can that make in our lives?

    OPEN: St. John’s University is a private religious college in the state of New York, and sometime back someone apparently wrote some graffiti on one of the walls which said this: “Jesus said unto them: ‘Who do you say that I am?’ And they replied: ‘You are the eschatological manifestation of the ...read more

    Unexpected Events (Part 1) Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 7, 2021
     | 5,816 views

    Pivotal events can happen unexpectedly in our lives. If we are able to accept that fact and (at the same time) trust God with the changes that accompany those events, we will manage life better. This message explores unexpected events in Moses's life.

    Today I want to talk about two unexpected events in Moses’s life. One was a glorious encounter with God that set him on the course for the last 40 years of his life. The other was a painful experience that equipped him to fulfill the mission given to him in the first encounter. In both cases the ...read more
