    Let the promises of God drive you. Take action to fulfil the promises of God.

    Have you ever suffered because of someone else made a wrong decision? • You wasted money, time or efforts because someone made a mistake and opted for a wrong choice. The sad thing is, you were made to pay for it too. • I’m sure you understand how that feels. It’s sad but ...read more

    Change, if the world is not the way it needs to be---what is our response

    One of the pressing questions of our day, or any day, is how do we make lasting social change which reflects the values of God’s Kingdom. The short answer for many is the ballot box. Yet there are plenty of issues which demand more nuance than legislation. From the Temperance movement of the 1820’s ...read more

    The parable of the Sower story with four responses by the hearers: Pay it no mind, A Passing Interest, Too Preoccupied, Perceptive and Productive.

    Most of the time in church, the focus is on the speaker and how well they are prepared to present the message. But today we have a parable about the HEARERS and how they receive the word of God. So listen up because it is all about YOU this morning. Hearing is an act of responsibility, so ...read more

    Many people enter this year with pessimism and worry. God wants us to enter this year with an optimistic attitude, even though there will be many challenges that we will have to face this year.

    Happy New Year! Let's read Joshua 1:1-9. Many people enter this year with pessimism and worry. They see how the situation is still bad right now. They may also read or watch the news about the predictions for 2023, which are primarily pessimistic. For example, Bloomberg's Kristine Aquino ...read more

    How Do We Overcome Temptation? (Luke, Part 3) Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Feb 7, 2022
     | 1,785 views

    None of us is immune to being tempted … but we all can overcome by following the same model that Jesus provided for us. When you resist him, you are choosing the things of God; you are choosing to turn away from the quick pleasure fix (of sin) and seeking His way to guide your life.

    Introduction / Recap - We know that Luke was a physician – helped Paul throughout his ministry -- He was most likely a Gentile from Antioch (Syria) addressing a Gentile audience - Examining the language of the text indicates that he was well educated -- Familiar with Greek; well versed in ...read more

    All We Like Sheep Series

     | 4,725 views

    We, as Christians, can go astray like sheep. Sin keeps zapping us like an electric fence, but we eventually become numb to it and cross over to enter the dangers of the world. The Shepherd will then react. So, how will He react?

    To begin this evening’s message, I would like to share a verse from the Old Testament. Isaiah 53:6 says, “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” All of us have gone astray from God at some point in our ...read more

    Overcome the challenges and seek after God's Wisdom

    Introduction People in hard hats working underground is what often comes to my mind when I think about how gold is mined. It is challenging work. According to what I read; it takes a long time from prospecting to mining to producing the finished product- refined gold. On the other hand, fool’s gold ...read more

    See the longing and faith of the devout awaiting for the fulfilment of the Messianic prophecies. The devout believes God, are led by God and sees Jesus.

    How much can you trust God? How much do you really believe the Word of God? • Christmas didn’t come easy to believe.

    Sleepwalkers may look awake, but they're asleep, even if they're driving a car! In this message we look at what spiritual sleepwalking is, the characteristics of such a person, and why it is so serious.

    God wants our hearts to be at rest and established by His grace toward us! That’s where and when we find inner peace! It’s not about what you can do, it never has been about what you can do...

    Illustration by Alan Tison Children have a way of controlling our life do they not – I heard about a young boy who received a harmonica for Christmas from his uncle.
