    The focus of our discipleship is on our relationship to Jesus. To be worthy of Christ we are to put him first in all family relations. To be worthy of Christ we are to take up our cross and identify with him.

    Our lives are made up of a finite number of days, each one crafted by God for a specific purpose. Yet how many of us truly enjoy the day, recognising that it is a precious, irreplaceable gift?

    Enjoy the Day, We Do Not Have Many of Them - Psalm 118:24 Psalm 118:24 (NLT) – “This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.” Introduction How often do we let the gift of today slip through our fingers, weighed down by worries of tomorrow or regrets of yesterday? Our lives ...read more

    You have to understand this. If the enemy destroys your house, you can build another one. But if he kills your dreams if he destroys your visions. He can destroy your future. And I come to encourage the saints of God on today. Do not stand by and let

    To the people of Nazareth, Jesus was nobody special...he was just Joseph's boy, you know, that carpenter's kid from up the street. The folks missed the meaning of his life because he was just Jesus.

    Just Jesus Luke 4:14-30 You know the definition of a “church expert?” Answer: Anybody that lives more than 45 miles away from your church! Maybe you get this at home yourself sometimes. Conversation after dinner goes into a topic you think you have some knowledge about and you ...read more

    Jesus calls on us to deny our selves and take up our crosses and follow Him - just as He went to the cross. This sermon delves into that idea of denying the "self" a little more.

    Why did Jesus send his disciples around after everyone was full to gather up the fragments that remained? It is interesting that we are not told what Jesus had done with the leftover fragments.

    TITLE: LEFTOVERS SCRIPTURE: ST. JOHN 6:5-14 What an exciting passage of Scripture that should stir us every time we read it. It has always interest me that this particular Miracle is one of a select few recorded in all four Gospel Narratives. It therefore has significance in its teaching to us ...read more

    When you couldn’t reach up to God, He reached down to you, and He invites you to meet Him in the darkness, away from any idol, at the foot of the cross.

    Leighton Ford, the husband of Billy Graham’s youngest sister, Jean, tells the story of a Russian cosmonaut. He came back from space and said, “Some people say God lives out there.

    Faith Soars! Fear Crawls.

    Contributed by John Gaston on Sep 15, 2022
     | 2,925 views

    Many Christians have settled for survival existence; they’re not expecting the abundance or the supernatural of God. They have been crippled by anxiety, disappointments, or fears. God commands us to wake up to faith.

    FAITH SOARS! FEAR CRAWLS. 2 Tim 1:6-7 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. There are a lot of things in our lives that cause us to worry.

    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?

    The Christian life is not meant to be lived in isolation. We are called to live in community, to stir one another up, to encourage one another, and to keep each other’s faith burning bright until Christ returns.
