    Like all Christians, St. Paul was left wondering how to pray in many challenging situations and trials during his ministry as an Apostle of the Lord. Then, he found how to pray best.

    The words of St Paul, “We do not know what we should pray for as we ought,” I know, ring a bell with all of us Christians. When we are faced with situations that are beyond our grasp and capacity to control, we find ourselves without knowing what we should pray for as we ought. I remember my ...read more

    Let's face it church attendance in America is at an all-time low, most Americans avoid church like the plague....WHY?

    Well I have a few reasons: 1. The Church no longer emphasizes the Gospel message (Death, Burial, and Resurrection of Jesus), The message is prosperity, feel good stuff, and political agendas. Jesus said "If I be lifted up I will draw ALL men unto me" , The primary purpose of the church is to ...read more

    How powerful is the Word and the words we use to explain it! We continue in our series as we examine the power of words in the life of our Sunday fellowship.

    For the last few weeks we’ve been talking about how to breath life into the Sunday morning worship experience, so that it’s “not just another Sunday morning” that we feel like we just “have to” come to, but a place that we “want to” come attend. We’ve talked about prayer and its importance, but ...read more

    Paul had a unique conversion, yet every coming-to-Christ is a miracle.

    Introduction What was the origin of Paul’s religion? Paul’s been called “that rascal who messed everything up”, the “angry theologian”, and the “inventor of Christianity”. I believe he is none of these things, and I contend that there is a harmony ...read more

    God is no respecter of persons. He will use whom he will. There is a danger in our Christian lives that we can miss out on God’s blessings because we fail to recognise God’s messenger.
