    We would like to think that after killing Goliath, David would be well-liked and admired by everyone in Israel. But the problem with success is it brings its own set of difficulties. How we handle these difficulties shows our character vefore God.

    The Trouble With Success 1 Samuel 18:1-16 How many like to think that when good things are happening that everyone will like us and want to rejoice with us? Most people will.

    This message will be a challenge for many because the church, in general, has become a place where the power of God does not exist.

    Even though Jesus has purchased our complete redemption, Satan tries to make us feel as if we still belong to him. He brings us into situations that confuse us and takes our focus off of the deliverance that now belongs to us as children of God. Christians are often blind to the needs of others ...read more

    Imagine you’re taking a walk on a lonely hillside on a hot summer day. A furze bush catches fire, but instead of burning up it keeps on burning! That would take your attention and make you think, “What’s going on? Is someone trying to say something to me?”

     | 1,060 views

    Brokenness is a spiritual state that draws God's attention. This condition allows us to better understand ourselves and Him. However, we often resist this process as it's challenging to let go of our personal goals, ambitions, and interests. But it's through this surrender that we truly experience God's provision.

    Brokenness is a spiritual state that captures God's attention. It provides us with a deeper understanding of ourselves and our relationship with Him.

    In this section of Mark's Gospel, Mark draws our attention to the wonder and amazement of the people as they see the authority with which Jesus taught, and as they witness Jesus' power over demons and disease. As we put our faith in Christ and walk with Him, He continues to amaze us.

    The first thing Jesus did after His triumphal entry into Jerusalem was to clean house. He cleanses the Temple of it’s sinfulness. What can this teach us about the need for purity and holiness in our churches and our personal lives?

I once read one of his sermons and found the following description of the scene we just read about in Matthew: “It is early morning, but already the temple court is a bedlam of activity and noise. ...read more

    It is absolutely essential that a church perceive itself as an institution for the glory of God. But sad to say, many churches (even here in the Philippines) have descended from a church that focuses on glorifying God into a church that focuses on men.
