    If you are in Christ, if you have repented and accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour then the Bible says you are a child of God. Your relationship with God has been restored, you are reconciled to our Heavenly Father.

    Do you want other people to like you? I think the answer for all of us is yes. In our heart, we all have a desire to be approved – to be liked. Often we allow our sense of self-esteem to be based on the opinions others have of us. Why is it that we so often feel or think badly about ourselves? Is ...read more

    God commended Joseph's faith for the strangest reason - because Joseph "gave directions concerning his bones." Seriously? Joseph's faith was praised because of his funeral arrangements? What's that all about, and what can it mean to us?

    CHILDREN'S STORY: When we get done here I PROMISE you I’ll give you a sucker. Do you know what a promise is?

    This is the 26th sermon in a series we're doing on the Gospel of John. In this sermon we look at the dividing line between Christians and the rest of the world, and how the seed of the serpent and the seed of the woman are distinguished.

    Sometimes we think prayer is a long list of our needs, but mature praying is filled with God’s word speaking it to your situation.

     | 366 views

    Faith gives us access to God's supernatural resources in a natural world. While the world says, “Seeing is believing,” the believer says, “Believing is seeing.” Living by faith means building your life not on human facts, but on divine truth.

    Escaping your Alcatraz is a message of hope for those that are caught in their own prison of addiction, depression or anything that has us bound. All of our efforts cannot set us free. The Spirit of the Lord can.

    On June 11, 1962, Clarence Anglin, John Anglin and Frank Morris tucked papier-Mache heads resembling their own likenesses into their beds, broke out of the main prison building via an unused utility corridor and departed Alcatraz Island aboard an improvised inflatable raft to an uncertain fate, ...read more

    Christ, The Fabric Of Our Lives

    Contributed by Moy Hernandez on Oct 26, 2009
     | 5,937 views

    In Christian Apologetics or defending the faith, it is paramount for believers to know what they believe and why. Our faith in God leads us to believe and have faith in His word which in turn leads us to Jesus and our saving faith in him.

    Christians Apologetics When it comes to the word Christian this days I much prefer to use the terminology “Followers of Jesus” To be a Christian these days is almost like belonging to a club, or some right of passage that we all go through. However to be a follower of Jesus declares a ...read more

    We can measure the size of the God we trust by comparing Him to the situations around us which takes great faith.

    (How Big is Your God?) Acts 16:22-34 Paul and Silas are in jail for preaching the Gospel. Very few of us have ever been incarcerated for preaching so it is hard to say what we would do if we were one of these two men.
