    What I have just read would bear little weight to anyone in the real world if it had been written by some ordinary person in some ordinary book. However, the writer and the book here spoken of are both far beyond ordinary.

    THE HERE AND THE HEREAFTER SCRIPTURE: Romans 8:18 “For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” II Corinthians 4:17 “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and ...read more

    It is a fact of life that we will go through times of trial, pain, and suffering. This is an encouraging sermon that reminds us that God has a plan for us, and that trials give us an opportunity to grow in faith, wisdom, and maturity.

    You know, everything happens for a reason. Even before I was saved, I seemed to have the knowing that nothing in life was a coincidence. I just knew that we encounter experiences in life for a purpose, either to learn an important life lesson, or to grow in some way, but more importantly, to ...read more

    This message looks at how God sometimes uses suffering and always takes longer than we want to accomplish his goals for us!

    In Hebrews 11 we have this great list of people who lived by faith. They were just normal people, but because they trusted God with everything they had they became extraordinary! It wasn’t that they were special...it was that their faith was special. What I love about looking at their stories is ...read more

    The primary focus of this sermon is to help the believer to look at what God is yet doing even in the midst of all that is happening to them; like focusing on the doughnut & not the hole in the doughnut.

    A doughnut is a type of sweet deep fried pastry. The doughnut is often sprinkled with sugar or other toppings, and may be frosted or glazed as well. Associated in some nations with breakfast, the doughnut is generally agreed to be a sweet and delicious indulgence. Some countries also consume donut ...read more

    Believe that your labour is never in vain. Ministry is an investment. Sow and expect to reap a harvest. Believe you are never left alone. Discouragement cannot defeat you unless you allow it.

    Paul was able to stand firm despite the oppositions and the difficulties he faced. • He experienced fatigue, frustrations, fears and failures but he did not give up. • Paul weathered through all these and stood firm. This is what we can learn from him. 1 Cor 15:58 “Therefore, my ...read more
