    This sermon explores how embracing the light of Christ can guide us through life's darkest moments and illuminate our path forward.

    Good morning, folks! It's a beautiful day to gather here, isn't it? It's always a blessing when we can come together as a community, sharing our faith, our hopes, and our struggles. Today, we're going to talk about something that touches every one of us, at one point or another. We're going to talk ...read more

     | 74 views

    God meets us in our questions and ordinary moments, inviting us to respond in faith, obedience, and public confession through Jesus Christ.

    Some of the most beautiful moments in Scripture happen on ordinary roads. Dust on the sandals. Sun on the horizon. A heart with honest questions. That’s where we meet a man in a chariot and a disciple named Philip. And that’s where so many of us live these days—somewhere between questions and ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 124 views

    The sermon emphasizes cultivating a life of continual prayer, gratitude, and joy, trusting God’s presence and power in every ordinary moment and circumstance.

    Friends, welcome. Some of us walked in with bright hearts, some with tired eyes, and some with questions that kept us awake last night. God sees every sigh, every secret worry, every small smile of hope. He gathers it all, and He meets us here. I once watched my grandmother hum hymns over a sink ...read more

     | 92 views

    Gratitude and praise, even in ordinary or difficult moments, enrich life and draw us closer to God, making worship a daily, heartfelt practice.

    Some mornings the world wakes humming. A sparrow announces the sun before it peeks over the rooftops. Coffee warms your hands while the quiet of the house rests on your shoulders like a soft shawl. On other mornings, the forecast in your heart feels gray. Bills, doctor visits, deadlines. The melody ...read more

    How Do We Live With Joy? PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 66 views

    True joy and belonging are found in knowing Jesus personally, sharing fellowship with God, and experiencing His life-giving presence in everyday moments.

    Have you ever noticed how the best news often arrives in the simplest package—a note on the counter, a text from a friend, a voice that says, “I’m here”? First John opens like that. It’s an old apostle’s steady hand reaching for your shoulder, a pastor’s calm voice speaking to a crowded room and a ...read more

    Gratitude opens our hearts to God’s presence, transforming ordinary moments and burdens into opportunities for praise, hope, and deeper relationship with Him.

    Some of us walked in today with full hearts; some with heavy ones. Either way, here you are, and here God is—nearer than the breath you just took. Picture an old, sturdy gate swinging open. Hear the hinges creak a welcome. On the other side? Not a cold courtyard, but the warm smile of a Father who ...read more

    Walk Worthy Of God

     | 1,598 views

    You may have heard of a rather pompous-looking deacon who was speaking to a class of boys about the importance of living the Christian life. “Why do people call me a Christian?” the man asked. After a moment’s pause, one youngster said, “Maybe it’s because they don’t know you.”

     | 896 views

    Have you ever had a moment where God felt silent? A moment where prayers seemed to echo into nothingness? You searched for His presence, but He felt distant? If that’s you today, you are not alone. The Bible is full of people who loved God deeply yet endured seasons of divine silence.

    Go! And Trust Him When You Can’t See Him - Job 23:8-10 Job 23:8-10 (NLT): "I go east, but he is not there. I go west, but I cannot find him. I do not see him in the north, for he is hidden. I look to the south, but he is concealed. But he knows where I am going. And when he tests me, I will ...read more

    To be a Christian, it takes a life-time of effort, obedience, and sacrifice.

    IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT “THERE IS POWER IN THE PRESENCE OF A RISEN SAVIOR TO SOLVE OUR DIFFICULTIES, REMOVE OUR PERPLEXITIES, CALM OUR FEARS, EASE OUR BURDENS, DRY OUR TEARS, MEET OUR EVERY NEED, TRANQUILIZE OUR MINDS AND SATISFY EVERY CRAVING OF OUR HEARTS.” THE POWER THAT RAISED OUR SAVIOR FROM ...read more

     | 196 views

    David did not take advantage of Saul’s fall to promote himself, nor did he speak evil of the dead. Instead, he mourned with dignity and expressed honour to God’s anointed.

    God will get our attention and force us to make choices, despite our desire to avoid decisions or our wish to be secular. When the lightning strikes it may be painful but it will be about grace.

    You can most certainly expect God to attract your attention. I cannot tell you exactly how He will do it, but I do know that He will do it. He will attract your attention. Many of us face a spiritual issue called inattention. Distraction. Inattention. We are not paying attention to what God is ...read more

    If you could use a single word to define Jesus what would it be? Love comes to mind, maybe forgiving, merciful, kind? How about the Word “grace”?
