    Why God Steps Back?

    Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Mar 20, 2026
    based on 1 rating
     | 150 views

    A drowning person doesn’t politely ask for help—he cries out with everything in him. That is the kind of seeking God responds to. God does not ignore sin. He allows people to feel the weight of their wrong choices. Sometimes misery becomes the doorway to salvation.

    Text: Hosea 5:15 “Then I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face—in their misery they will earnestly seek me.” In certain circumstances, God forsakes or turns away as a righteous, direct response to human sin. When man violates the relationship with ...read more

    A sermon about coming to Jesus with our pain.

    “Leaving the Jar” John 4:4-30, 39-42 Some burdens don’t feel like burdens until the moment we finally set them down. I once visited an elderly woman from the church I was pastoring at the time who lived alone. She kept a small wooden box on her kitchen table. When I asked what was inside, ...read more

    King Jeroboam Ii Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Nov 2, 2024
     | 974 views

    I would like to highlight three things from these six verses: Jeroboam II was a magnificent but unspiritual King, Israel was an unsatisfied nation, and Yahweh was all sufficient God. What is your identity.

    Text: 2 Kings 14:23-29 Theme: Jeroboam II Greetings: The Lord is good and His love endures forever. Introduction: Observation of the Text: Jeroboam II son of Jehoash, reigned forty-one years, did evil, did not turn away from sins of Jeroboam I, caused Israel to commit, restored the boundaries ...read more

    The Fall Of The Untouchables

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 8, 2025
     | 196 views

    Even when oppressors seem invincible, God sees and reverses injustice; the righteous live by faith while His glory fills the earth.

    (When pride meets God’s justice.) Picture this: you’re standing in front of the shampoo shelf. You reach for a bottle because you want something that will make a difference — something marketed to change your hair, change how you feel, maybe even change how the world sees you. You read the ...read more

    Jesus Makes Sense

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 31, 2025
     | 213 views

    Grace crosses forbidden borders to restore what systems abandon; Jesus speaks order into chaos, reclaiming the image of God within us.

    There are moments in Scripture when heaven steps across an invisible border, and the entire order of creation trembles. This is one of them. The Gospel of Mark says, “They came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.” That sentence may sound geographical, but it’s ...read more

    God calls His people to reject indifference, embrace compassion, and reveal Christ’s heart by noticing, moving, and loving where others pass by.

    Introduction – When the Heart Grows Numb Our text comes from the Book of Lamentations. Jeremiah stands amid the ruins of Jerusalem and cries, > “How deserted lies the city, once so full of people!

    This sermon explores the story of Jezebel to illustrate the enslaving power of sin and the liberating grace of God's mercy and justice.

    Greetings, dear friends. I'm so glad you've chosen to join us today as we gather, not just as a congregation, but as a family, united in our love for our Savior and our desire to grow closer to Him.

    A classic sermon by St. Augustine.

    1. That virtue of the mind which is called Patience, is so great a gift of God, that even in Him who bestows the same upon us, that, whereby He waits for evil men that they may amend, is set forth by the name of Patience, [or long-suffering.] So, although in God there can be no suffering, and ...read more

    After the death of Joshua, the nation of Israel was ruled by judges, or heroic military deliverers, for about 300 years until the united monarchy was established under King Saul. The era of the judges was a time of instability and moral depravity . . .

    1) The Misinterpretation, 2) The Mandate , & 3) The Motive.

    In His sixth, and last, illustration contrasting the false righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees with the true righteousness of God, Jesus contrasts their kind of love with God’s. Nowhere does humanistic, self-centered system of religion differ more from God’s divine standards than in the ...read more
