    Contributed by Allan Quak on Dec 28, 2018
     | 4,983 views

    Our identity which comes, because God-in-the-flesh is also in us, means that we can stand against the ongoing corrupting influence of the old self and constantly be transformed into a new self which is conforming to the likeness of Jesus.

    Message Ephesians 4:22-24 The Miracle of Metamorphosis Through the month of December we have been looking at a series of messages under the working title of “Advent Miracles”. In this series we have been considering the impact of the birth of Jesus on our identity as the people of God. Indeed we ...read more

    What Are You Holding Back

    Contributed by Walter Troup on Apr 13, 2019
     | 17,029 views

    What keeps you from giving everything to God? Check out two sets of people who were following Christ and made two different decisions about their lives, causing two different outcomes.

    This morning I want us to look at two sets of people: one set held nothing back from God, and God used them to change their world and ours too. The other set, not so much. Because they kept something back from God, their lives came to a quick end. Before we look into the lives and circumstances ...read more

    God's Love Language

    Contributed by Judith Hand on May 9, 2015
     | 6,924 views

    God's love language is to love Him and obey him and love others as he loves us. The Spirit enables us to BLOW : Believe, Love, and Obey to Win the victory.

    God’s Love Language (Acts 10:44-48 I John 5:1-6 John 15:9-17) In our first reading in Acts this morning Peter and the Jewish believers were astonished to see evidence that the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. They were “born again” after hearing the gospel ...read more

    "And Then He Raised The Knife...!"

    Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 14, 2017
     | 11,261 views

    It wasn't enough to travel 3 days, or build the altar, or stack on the wood, or bind his son, or even to place his son on the altar. God waited until the great Patriarch raised the knife! Why wait so long? Why does God take us to the edge?

    "AND THEN HE RAISED THE KNIFE...!" Genesis 22:1-14 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. There are times when even doing what is right seems like it will backfire on you. Old habits are hard to break. 2. One guy invariably left off the cap to the toothpaste and for years his wife had hounded him about it. ...read more

    Word Of God: What Is In It For Me?

    Contributed by Dr. Madana Kumar, Phd on Feb 26, 2018
     | 4,061 views

    What is our response to the Word of God? Do we continue to search out to try and see how the word can meet our needs? Or do we have a higher purpose in listening to the word and applying it? The answer to the question "What is In It for Me? " is simple.

    This month’s topic is Word of God and for the past two weeks both the pastors have given us some serious messages on what is the Word all about. I would like to turn the table and focus on “What is our response to the Word?” Whether I am teaching at SAIACS or running a program for my corporate job, ...read more

    Easter & Mary Magdalene

     | 2,580 views

    It was early the Sunday morning of Jesus’ resurrection (John 20:1-18). That time of year, mornings could be a little chilly, so Mary probably wrapped herself up against the cool early air as she headed towards the garden tomb.

    It was early the Sunday morning of Jesus’ resurrection (John 20:1-18). That time of year, Jerusalem could be just over 20°C (about 70°F on the old scale) during the day. Early that morning it may have been about 10°C (50°F), so Mary probably wrapped herself up against the cool ...read more

    What Does Easter Mean To Me?

    Some say that Easter is a pagan holiday and should not be celebrated by Christians. The truth is, I never have celebrated the day. I celebrate that because Jesus got up from the dead, I can live also.

    What does Easter mean to me? First of all, let's see what it means to the world. To the world Easter means money. Because the world turns everything  into a selling point. To the world Easter is about commercial gain. When you walk into the store around Easter, the whole stock changes. ...read more

    True peace only comes from Jesus and only to those who believe on Him. This is a peace that allows us to have peace in the midst of trials.

    I Give You MY Peace John 14:23-29 It was a confusing time. Jesus with the disciples had come to Jerusalem. They had seen the joyous crowds a few days earlier on Palm Sunday, Their expectations of the disciples that Jesus would immediately take charge and set up the Messianic Kingdom and take the ...read more

    Not Worth Comparing -Funeral Service- (For A Person Who Got Saved Before They Died)

     | 2,054 views

    Today we come to this memorial service with sad hearts, grieving over the death of this loved one.

    We do not like to see our friends and loved ones suffer as he had to suffer in the last few years of his life. But sometimes this suffering is a blessing in disguise. It gives: • A person a chance to reflect on the way they live their life • A person a chance to repent of their sins and make ...read more

    A Head Table Mentality Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 26, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,173 views

    A leader is not automatically the honored guest. He or she must take the lowest seat at the table and learn to serve others. Only then, will Jesus move that person higher. If someone grabs the best seat, he or she will be moved lower.

    This evening’s message is entitled “A Head Table Mentality,” and it’s taken from a parable that discusses the valued position of the meek and lowly. This parable promotes Christ-like leadership over the worldly model of leadership in which power and control seems to be the normal style. Kenneth ...read more

    The birth of Jesus was not something that just happened without planning. Not long after the fall of Adam and Eve into sin, God made the plan to save humans (Genesis 3:15).

    The birth of Jesus was not something that just happened without planning. Not long after the fall of Adam and Eve into sin, God made the plan to save humans.

    Come And See Jesus

     | 3,442 views

    John’s Gospel, then, is an invitation to come and see Jesus. In today’s text we are introduced to some of the people Jesus influenced in the beginning of his ministry … people who carried out his mission after he resurrected and went to the Father.

    Come and See Jesus John 1:35-51 Introduction John’s Gospel states a very clear goal. John 20:30-31 “Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you my believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of ...read more

    Is it "Come and Dine" or "Come and Die" as Bonhoeffer stated about the Cost of Discilpeship?

    The Call to True Discipleship: An Exposition of Matthew 16:21-28 Poor Peter! He had just had a most dramatic revelation and confession of who Jesus is. Because of this, Jesus had called him blessed. He had given Simon a new name Peter which means “stone.” Not only this, Jesus had personally given ...read more

    Nothing is a surprise to God. God is in control.

    HE’S GOT THIS—Daniel 8 Do you sometimes feel like the world is spinning out of control? The safe and secure life some of us remember seems more chaotic, less innocent, and somewhat scary.
