    Life with Jesus should never be in addition to the lifestyle we led before we met Jesus. If that is the way it is in your life, then it will be very apparent to everyone that He’s only an addition and that He isn’t Lord and Savior of your life.

    Life, Everlasting, Part II – Who is your Lord? In Part I, we determined from Ezekiel 37 that, through the breath put in us by God when we give our life to Him, we have life. And through that breath we will know that He is the LORD. We also briefly touched upon those that claim activities, ...read more

    Our Seasons Of Grief

    Contributed by Ryan Sato on Dec 12, 2004
    based on 38 ratings
     | 11,910 views

    Here we try to understand how David coped with the loss of his best friend Jonathan. Through David’s reactions we are challenged to embrace our seasons of grief in ways that would show that we are relying on God rather than relying on ourselves.

    Opener: This week we reflect on David’s real life struggle with grief. With last week’s teaching on fear, and this week’s text focussed on the theme of grief it seems like we’re wading through some heavy waters aren’t we? But this is good for us. Because I firmly believe that we (as followers ...read more

    1 Lose, 1 Win, Your Turn

    Contributed by Oliver Wong on Nov 26, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,609 views

    The sermon takes a look at the cosmic struggle between evil and good - between Satan and Eve (and Adam) (Round 1), Satan and Jesus (Round 2), and finally Round 3...Satan vs. YOU... Special attention is paid on 1 John 2:15-17 concerning Satan's 3 weapons.

    Think of Satan… What comes to your mind immediately? Did an image of an angry-looking red being holding a pitch fork come to your mind? Or maybe you see a plump guy with horns and a fanatical smirk on his face? Whatever it is, we have to ask ourselves: Is our mental picture of Satan fuelled ...read more
