Don't Be Deceived Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Mar 22, 2015

Don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him. God directs us to His perfect will.

Have you ever been deceived? I have, a couple of times. We have people walking into the church and asking for help. They tell you their sad stories, the great need they are in, and ask for money. It’s really difficult to tell, most of the time, if they are saying the truth. I ...read more

The Devil's Tools

Contributed by Steve Woods (Pastor Woody) on May 2, 2019

It is so important to any believer that we not let the Devil’s tools eat away at us and cause us to go in a direction, down a path, that is far from God.

All too often today I see where people have lost their faith. They either don’t believe at all, have never heard nor understood the word of God or something has happened in their lives to take them away His Word. As we have talked about many times here at our Church, we know what this and, deep ...read more

Devil The Stealer

Contributed by Bala Samson on Jul 10, 2016

Dude, check out your walk with God! When you walk more with the devil, he tends to keep you away from the Savior. Caveat!

Why pull the devil now Luke 8:12”….the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, so that they will not believe and be saved.” Why do we tend to blame the devil and his convoys, every time calamity rattles us, every time a problem needs fixing? Yes, I repeat your ...read more

The Last Discourse Series

Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Mar 11, 2016

Jesus' last discourse in Luke 22:21-38 shows us several areas of failure in the disciples.

Don't Be Deceived

Contributed by Daren Mitchell on May 22, 2012

In order to understand how we can be deceived by the Evil one we need to take a note from Joshua and learn from his experience.

The Problem Of If Series

Contributed by Ken Henson on Sep 21, 2017

I don’t like “if”. If if requires me to do something in order to get something good, I’d rather depend on the certainty of God’s work. God doesn’t require much-all I have to do is continue in the faith Paul serves. That’s easy, right?

A few days ago we talked about our security in Christ. Our salvation and acceptance before God are secure because it is based on Jesus and His work and sacrifice, not on ours. Here Paul presents the other side of the coin of security. If That’s a conditional word. We’re reconciled to God through ...read more

Sinungaling Na Saksi Na Nagsasalita Ng Kabulaanan

Contributed by James Dina on Aug 7, 2020

Ang pagiging isang huwad na saksi ay kumikilos bilang ahente ni Satanas; sa ilalim ng kontrol ng diyablo, isang maling saksi ang nagbubuhos ng mga kasinungalingan at siya ay naging isang insulto sa lipunan. Ang mga huwad na saksi ay parurusahan.

Sinungaling na saksi na nagsasalita ng kabulaanan "Ang isang huwad na saksi ay hindi parurusahan, at siya na humihinga ng kasinungalingan ay hindi makakatakas" (Kawikaan 19: 5) Ang nagsisinungaling na dila ay nagsasabi ng kasinungalingan, ngunit ang maling patotoo ay mas masahol pa: ...read more

Reflection C.1 / Does God Have A Purpose In Coronavirus? Two Wrong Goblets

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on May 23, 2020
