    Like Isaac being called by God to be a witness for Him and passing on the "calling" to Jacob, Christians are also called and are to pass the baton of Good News of Christ.

    Share how we can live our lives best as possible for Jesus Christ and stop being so concerned about our appearances

    Christains are so often accused of being arrogant when they claim that Jesus is the only way. If you know someting to be the truth, is it arrogant to claim that?!

    Isn’t Christianity Arrogant? Jn 14.1-6 I’m sure we all understand the word ‘blasphemy’ – “using the Lord’s name in an inappropriate way” – perhaps as a swear word or a curse, or even just thoughtlessly. But have you ever noticed that ...read more

    In this world we are told that climbing the ladder, stepping on other people, and even "being served" is a path to greatness - the Bible teaches something entirely different.

    Life’s Great Paradox Galatians 5:1, 13-15 * To define the word “paradox” is an apparently true statement or group of statements that seems to lead to a contradiction or to a situation that defies intuition. Let me give you a couple of examples; * If a compulsive liar tells you, ...read more

    It's hard to find God's will because it's hard to do God's will. While seeking God's will you are being prepared to succeed in it.

    If you say that you are bounds; is that a bad thing? The Bible speaks about being bound in positive and negative terms. To what or by what are you bound?

    The last event in the life of SAINTS, as far as being connected to earth, is after the millennium they go to their eternal home in the glorious place the Bible calls heaven.

    But in this message we are going to study the last thing that will happen to SINNERS, as they will spend eternity in the horrendous place the Bible calls hell! In this day of liberalism, when a preacher preaches about hell he is immediately branded in a negative way as being one of those ...read more
