    Absalom

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Apr 23, 2020
     | 3,206 views

    When something is too good to be true then be careful! From the life of Absalom, we learn a lot of lessons.

    Absalom 2 Samuel 14:25”…Now in all Israel was no one as handsome as Absalom, so highly praised…” When something is too good to be true then be careful! When the offer is too spectacular, opulent and enormous then be cautious, for instance, I got an email stating that I was selected as the ‘best ...read more

     | 2,649 views

    John the Baptist lost his certainty of who Jesus was. We can suffer from the "doldrums," too.

    December 15, 2019 Hope Lutheran Church Rev. Mary Erickson Isaiah 35:1-10; Matthew 11:2-11 Christmas Doldrums Friends, may grace and peace be yours in abundance in the knowledge of God and Christ Jesus our Lord. “Are you the one who is to come, or are we to wait for another?” The John the ...read more

    Guests At The Banquet Or Devils' Food Cake

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 7, 2019
     | 3,535 views

    There is nothing in-between, no middle ground. It’s God or nothing. So let’s follow St. Paul’s advice and count everything other than the grace and peace of Christ as nothing.

    Fifth Sunday of Lent 2019 Finger of God; Finger of Priest Our Lord Jesus was constantly in conflict with the Jewish religious authorities of His day, both Pharisees and Sadducees. The Pharisees were observers of every minute law–even making lay people adhere to the regulations laid down by Moses ...read more

    The Great Banquet

    Contributed by John Ong on Jul 1, 2015
     | 8,214 views

    For this week’s Bible Study, we have discussed about The Parable of the Great Banquet.

    God definitely has a way of speaking with us, even if we forget Him at times, especially when we are distracted with irrelevant things. In the depths of our emotions, He knows how to converse with us and tell us how much He loves us. In times of troubles, God invites us to be with Him. He never ...read more

    The Song Of Resurrection

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Aug 12, 2015
     | 5,067 views

    Sadly we see today the calamities and devastation that fall on nations who have turned from the Living God of Israel. Pray we stay faithful or else we too will suffer those consequences should our nation collectively turn from God.

    Saints; If we want to be effective for the cause of Christ we need a song in our hearts. If we want to assure people that our God provides eternal peace and hope we will need a smile on our face. If we want people to hear the joy of our salvation that comes from knowing Jesus as our Saviour they ...read more

    The Power Of Discipleship Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 4, 2022
     | 7,667 views

    Disciples are formed not informed. Jesus did not just teach the disciples. They learned in the situations like witnessing to the woman at the well. The impressions burned in their mind. This is the “Organic Discipleship” process.

    The gospels record many occasions when Jesus addressed large crowds. But when we take an overview of the Gospels we discover that his speaking to the large crowds is not what made the lasting impact. What carried the ministry of Jesus after his death was the time he invested with small ...read more

    Throw Off Hindrances

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Mar 1, 2022
     | 4,554 views

    Many things are hindrances to our life, spiritual growth, and focus. Unless we throw off hindrances, we are not going to hit the final goal. Usually many start a good start but never ended joyfully.

    Throw off Hindrances, Hebrews 12:1-3 Introduction: Some of us are waiting for this Lent. This season helps us to come closer to the WORD, rectify some of our DEEDs and help grow in Christ. We hope to celebrate the resurrection day (Commonly called Easter) to bring new life, energy, grace along ...read more

    Sometimes We Cannot Hear Due To Pain

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 12, 2022
     | 1,407 views

    If we can learn to be one with Jesus Christ in His communication with the Father, we can be transformed, even if we are not in this life transfigured.

    2nd Sunday of Lent 2006 The mountain we call Tabor rises some 600 meters above the Galilean plain, an impressive, if not awesome height. The experience of climbing it must be pretty exhausting; when we ascended to the summit, it was in a Palestinian taxi whose driver must have had a graduate ...read more

    Surrogacy

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Jun 5, 2022
     | 955 views

    It has become fashion these days, with people opting to ‘outsource’ the birth of children, called Surrogacy and thereby live freely without hustle, bustle and trouble.

    Be fully there…. (SURROGACY IS MY SUB TITLE) I kind of liked the title "BE FULLY THERE" which means ‘ be fully committed to whatever you are doing’, are you listening? 100%. I type this on my laptop at 12.20 pm on Sunday, ( this time would be sumptuous lunch time for many Christians) ...read more

    On With God's Work Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jun 15, 2022
     | 2,774 views

    When we have setbacks we need to hear and cherish the voices that cry out, get on with God’s work. What God’s people need in this situation is the voice of encouragement.

    You may remember the dramatic scene from the movie Chariots of Fire. It is when Eric Liddell Falls in a race, gets up and goes on to win the race. Now that is an inspiration. What about us as Christians? Do we stumble? Do we get tripped up and fall down? Of course we do. But we don’t lay there. We ...read more

    Woman Thou Art Loosed

    Contributed by Larry Grant on Mar 20, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 19,550 views

    As we watch Jesus deliver this sick woman from the bondage of her sickness, we get a picture of what He can do for us, if we will wait on Him! This woman waited 18 years for her healing and the Bible records that it happened while she was in the House of Prayer on the day of Worship.

    Luke 13:10-17 WOMAN THOU ART LOOSED March 20, 2022 Intro: This passage is all about how Jesus can set us free. In John 8:36 Jesus said, “Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” As we watch Him deliver this sick woman from the bondage of her sickness, we get a picture of ...read more

    This is the funeral sermon for a bay boy who had lived for one day after his birth before passing away.

    LET THE LITTLE CHILDREN COME TO ME Luke 18:15-17 INTRODUCTION: 1) As we look at Luke 18 today, I want us to see a bit of the background to this passage of Scripture. A) As Jesus was speaking on the Kingdom of God, prayer, and the need to be humble before God families in the crowd started ...read more

     | 2,503 views

    The demon would ‘quickly’ be in action, before the word takes root in you and grow. The birds (vultures) would come and devour it !

    DEVOURED THE SEED Birds came ….. Matthew 13:4” .. as he sowed, some seeds fell beside the road, and the birds came and ate them up.” I remember a dream I had during the initial days of my salvation, through which God demonstrated the above scripture very vividly and beautifully to me.
