    The True Meaning Of Christmas

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Dec 11, 2024
     | 989 views

    Is Jesus pleased with the Christmas that are celebrated everywhere? Many people celebrate Christmas but do not know the true meaning of Christmas. John 3:16 shows the true meaning of Christmas.

    Every December, hundreds of millions, even billions of people around the world celebrate the birth of Jesus. Throughout history, no one's birth has been celebrated as widely as Jesus. In general, we are happy when friends remember and celebrate our birthdays. Do you think Jesus is happy with ...read more

    Sermon # 36 - Learning To Forgive Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 20, 2024
     | 498 views

    Jonah was happy to receive God’s forgiveness for his disobedience, but was unhappy when God did the same for the people of Nineveh who repented of their sins. Jesus paid with his life for our forgiveness, and God expects us to extend this same forgiveness to those who wrong us in any way.

    For our meditation we will study Jonah 4:1, “Jonah was very unhappy about this and became angry.” (GNB) When the prophet Jonah preached to the people in the city of Nineveh, they took his words seriously, repented, and had a change of heart. God relented from punishing the people of Nineveh, and ...read more

    Time To Engage: "Prioritize To Jesus"

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jan 12, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,144 views

    Making Jesus our priority means that we’re putting Him first on our list. If our priority is Jesus, where we prioritize our lives to Him, then everything else falls into place. And to make Jesus our priority, we need to look to Jesus’s life and see what He prioritized.

    The Spirit As Streams Of Living Water Series

     | 1,361 views

    Another amazing role of the Holy Spirit is to be a stream of living water that flows from within those who put their faith in Christ. We must be thirsty and drink before we will experience the refreshment.

    A. The story is told about a man who got himself lost in the desert and began to search for water to quench his thirst. 1. After countless hours searching, he came upon a well with a big opening at the top. a. He peered down into the well, but couldn't see a thing down there. b. He looked ...read more

    Nothing You Can Do To Make God Love You More Or Less

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Sep 25, 2024
     | 2,281 views

    Recently I have been hearing quite a few pastors using a quote from Henri Nouwen a Dutch Catholic priest that states, “There is nothing we can do to make God love us more and nothing we can do to make God love us less.” Is that true? Let's see what God's Word has to say about it.

    Do you have a Bible? I was once told that in a simple Bible with no maps, no apocrypha and no commentary you would find the Psalms in the center of the Bible. So, I thought maybe it would be Psalm 119 since it has 174 verses and is the longest chapter in the Bible. However, in my Bible it turns out ...read more

    If we don’t set ourselves apart, we are doomed to be no different from wordly people. If we contine to conform with the world, we will be lukewarm Christians.

    Please bring out your bibles. Or your bible app? And if you don’t have one, please feel free to get a bible in the back or to share with your seatmate.

    As Jonah travailed in the belly of the fish he called out to God knowing that only God could help him. In the midst of all the trials, difficulties and challenges that come our way do we call out to God? Here’s what happens when we do so.

    We read in Jonah 2:1-2, “From inside the fish, Jonah prayed to the LORD his God: When I was in trouble, LORD, I prayed to you, and you listened to me. From deep in the world of the dead, I begged for your help, and you answered my prayer.” (CEV) Jonah called out to the Lord his God from inside the ...read more

    Some Thoughts On Depopulation

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Nov 23, 2024
     | 356 views

    The world's current population is somewhere between 7 and 8 billion. Some think that's too many and have openly advocated for depopulation measures. All they need to do is wait for the Great Tribulation and they'll come close to getting their wish!

    Introduction: A number of people, mostly elites, and increasingly calling out for more people to die! The justification, if I understand it correctly, is that there are too many people on this planet to be kept (the “sustainability” argument) and/or there isn’t enough of the right _kind_ of people. ...read more
