    based on 44 ratings
     | 4,187 views

    Respect and Honour are to be earned rather than to be demanded.

    The gospel passage Mt 23.1-12 speaks to the hearts of many people, especially, those who feel dominated and oppressed by others.

    A short talk for the start of the busy Advent season. This talk uses one of may favourite stories to encourage people to rest, stop, slow down in the midst of a busy time to rest.

     | 1,019 views

    Whenever the Holy Spirit is given permission to work, the result is peace, wholeness, harmony, and unity, the supernatural becomes normal, and the blessing of God follows us.

    For our God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints (1 Cor.14:33) Why are there so much church split, in-house fighting, competitions, division, chaos, anger, and bitterness among the Saints of God? Why is it that the sick and diseased are not healed, the ...read more

    Are you a true witness for Jesus? How can you tell? What does it take to be the kind of witness God has called you to be? We’ll answer those questions as we look today at the example of John the Baptist.

    The John that is in our passage this morning is not the same John that wrote this Gospel. The John that wrote this Gospel is the brother of James. Jesus called him a son of thunder. He was the one whom Jesus loved. But that’s not the John in our passage. The John in our passage is the one we ...read more
