Are We There Yet?

Contributed by Anthony Hodge on Jan 13, 2003

This sermon declares that being in ministry can be just as exciting as going on a family trip and just as children ask the question in the sermon’s theme, the church should continue to ask it as well.

Are we there yet? (Matthew 25:34-46) Our theme for today’s message can help many of us reflect back to our youth when we were with our parents, grandparents, other relatives or guardians. I’m referring to occasions when we were going on some type of family outing. It could have ...read more

Sharing What We Have Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on May 15, 2009

The early church was exemplary. They relied upon the power and grace of the Lord Jesus, and in concerted prayer experience victory in a harsh environment. They expressed their love for God by a sincere love for people, in meeting everyone’s needs.

Do You Have A Sabbath Rest?

Contributed by Greg Nance on Jun 25, 2011

God gave us the Sabbath for our good. We need to rediscover what is lost when Sabbath is neglected or broken. There is a blessing for us that God has given when we set asside our legalism and simply hear His word on this matter.
