    Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Sep 5, 2016
     | 12,884 views

    David simply a man who believes God for the impossible. He faces giants like everyone of us does everyday. But David trusted God with the impossible and faith brought out the best out of him. Attributes in private now became public. We are giant killers.

    How long, Lord?

    A CALL TO PATIENCE. James 5:7-10. ‘Patience is a virtue,’ suggests the old adage. Yet when we pray for more patience what do we get? We get more affliction!

     | 11,476 views

    The ultimate judge of a person’s character is their ability to exceed expectations with little recognition from others or when praise is not given. The Bible is filled with unsung heroes of the faith whose names may be obscure to us but to God they are His heroes of the faith.

    Transition video: Serving in prison ministry Theme: Unsung heroes Scripture: Proverbs 27:2 “Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; someone else, and not your own lips.” Sermon 2: Priscilla and Aquila Thesis for Series: The ultimate judge of a person’s character is ...read more

    Death From Christians Perspective Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Nov 22, 2021
     | 3,175 views

    Some deaths people treat as a “tragic end”, but for some deaths, people say “well-earned rest”. Our judgments are not true because those are based on outward known deeds. Death reveals mysteries.

    Message for Memorial Day – Theme: DEATH in Christian Perspective Text: 1 Corinthians 15:56 The Diagnosis A woman accompanied her husband to visit a doctor. After his check-up, the doctor called the wife into his chamber. He said, "If you don't do the following, your husband will surely ...read more

     | 5,012 views

    This is the second in a two-part series on what God’s plan is for us while we wait for Christ’s return.

    I think I’ve told you this before, but a pastor asked a class of Sunday School children, "Who broke down the wall of Jericho?" A boy answered, "Not me, sir!" The pastor was noticeably upset and turned to the Sunday School teacher, "Is this typical?" She replied, "Pastor, the boy is a trusted and ...read more

     | 32,247 views

    We can con our coworkers, fool our friends and family, play charades with church members, and even deceive ourselves, but we can’t masquerade before the Lord because He sees right through our masks.

    Pursuing Purity in an Impure World I remember seeing a cartoon that shows a pastor and his wife deep in conversation. The wife says, “Today let’s do something different. Why don’t you be charming at home and grouchy at church?” Ouch. That really doesn’t apply to me…because I’m often grouchy in ...read more

    The words of an ancient wise man remind us that the "awe" of God is foundational for wise living.

    Be Careful Text: Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 (English) Most of us can relate to having a parent’s anxiety or remembering a parent’s anxiety when we either allowed our children a bit of independence or when we were ourselves allowed the opportunity to do something autonomous.

    How God wants us to be doers not wanters. That we are not entitled but are granted living through his grace.

    05102009 Blessed Are Those… We might shake our heads at such blatant hypocrisy, but the truth is most people fail to live up to their own Words.
