Study the lives of Joseph and Mary to learn how to keep Christ at the center of Christmas.

Has there ever been a time when you had to make room in your life, for someone or something? When Judy and I first got married we lived in a 12’ x 60’ mobile home. When we first moved into that home we felt like we were living in a castle. We had an abundance of room. We did not have a lot of ...read more

Contributed by Victor Yap on Dec 28, 2009

Martha and Mary

WHAT'S THE RUSH? (LUKE 10:38-42) Hong Kong is an extremely busy city. Since arriving in Hong Kong in 2008, I have done my best to keep up, especially for the first year. Every working day, I rushed for the 7:24 am Ma Wan ferry, arriving around 16 minutes (7:40 a.m) later at Tsuen Wan West, ...read more

Unshackled Series

Contributed by Byron Harvey on Jan 18, 2010

This is from my expository series through the book of Romans.

“Unshackled” Romans 3:24 November 2, 2008 Undoubtedly, it ranks as one of the strangest things that Scripture records God asking a person to do; it’s found in the second verse of the book of Hosea; allow me to paraphrase: God’s first word to the ...read more

Abraham’s Children In Trouble Part 2 Series

Contributed by Daniel Olukoya on Jan 19, 2010

Once a person breaks the law of faith, even if he is a child of Abraham, he will suffer. So the first reason Abraham’s children suffer is because of sin.

ABRAHAM’S CHILDREN IN TROUBLE PART 2 Dr. D. K. Olukoya Beloved, this week, we are looking at the concluding part of the message entitled, “Abraham’s children in trouble.” Last week, we looked at various reasons a person could be a child of God and yet be in trouble and why ...read more

"Step Up And Serve The Lord With What You Have"

Contributed by Ray Ellis on Nov 10, 2008

The Lord gives abilities, talents, and spiritual gifts to serve him. To not serve the Lord is to dry up spiritually.

“Step Up and Serve the Lord With What You Have" I Samuel 17:40-50 One of my favorite Old Testament stories is about David and Goliath. I tend to be for the under dog. Even in the business world when a small business takes on a corporation they talk about David taking on Goliath. This morning ...read more

Who Gets Hurt By What We Do?

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 24, 2008

Morality is not just an arbitrary abstraction. God is hurt by what we do, and we ourselves are hurt by immoral behavior. But God in Christ can give us a new heart.

I am a part of a group of five ministers who get together about once a month as a support group. Our intent is simply to share what is going on in our lives and let the others comment with any wisdom they may have. At the last meeting of the group, one of the members was talking about the way he ...read more

Failing, Fruitless, Flourishing

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 7, 2010

We are a part of this world's injustice and brokenness, and need to repent, for we have too often attempted nothing or have given ourselves to pointless activity. "Only what you do for Christ will last" and that is guaranteed by His risen life.

There are just too many things that are not the way they ought to be, and I don’t like it! Are you with me? There are too many things going on that should not be going on, and when I hear about them or experience them, it disturbs me. I don’t like the brokenness I see in this ...read more

Having And Giving Authority

Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 18, 2009

How do we decide whom to help and how, of all the needs presented? Jesus responded to the needs that presented themselves, He discerns what the real problems are, and He trusted others with authority.

The problem is never whether somebody needs help. The problem is always which somebody we can help. The issue is never whether there are any needs. There are always needs. In any given moment there are more needs than anyone person can possibly address. The issue is how to make the choice. Who ...read more

The Legacy Of Cain Series

We all leave a legacy. Some are very noticeable, some not so much. Some good, some not so good.

“The Legacy of Cain” (Genesis 4:1-26) We all leave a legacy. Some are very noticeable, some not so much. The Killarney Hotel will leave a legacy especially for those who have lived in Killarney for a long time. Our parents all wonder what our legacy will be when we are born, as we do of our ...read more

Spiritual Discernment Series

Contributed by Peter Loughman on Sep 22, 2009

Peter is called upon to make a judgment: Is this man, the Centurion for real, or not? To accurately make the decision that is before him, Peter must set aside the ways he has discerned before, and he must step out in faith.

In our Scripture this morning, we see that Peter has a vision where a blanket full of different kinds of food and a voice announces, Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.” “Surely not, Lord!” Peter replies. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.” Peter is very careful about what he eats, and with ...read more

The Insignificant Church

Contributed by Terry Blankenship on Oct 14, 2009

Do we really make a difference in this world? Has the church become insignificant today? Churches have a high calling to honor God in their attitudes and actions.

Hebrews 10:23-25 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so ...read more

The Land Of The Midnight Sun Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 1, 2009

Our culture has lived in sheer optimism, but that time is fading. We must seize the opportunity to minister while it is here; and if we do so, we will see bountiful rewards.

My besetting sin, if you must know, is procrastination. Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow, for somehow tomorrow always seems to be even more than only a day away. It seems to be an eternity away, and so what if I do not do today what my To-Do list says I am to do? Who will know ...read more
