    Listen Like Jesus

    Jesus did everything according to the will of the Father because He constantly commune with Him. From His example, we want to learn to (1) LISTEN INTENTLY to God’s Word, and (2) listen WITH A HEART TO OBEY.

    There is one aspect of Jesus that we want to learn today - to LISTEN... to listen carefully to the Word of God. So that we can understand His heart and His will for us. Jesus said in John 8:28-29 "...I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me. 29 The one who sent me is ...read more

    A sermon that shows that Jesus did not procrastinate and neither should we.

    Do It Now! Introduction My wife Clair reckons that in many ways I am like my Dad. I guess in many senses she’s right. I have the same temperament as my Dad, I whistle almost as badly as him and I have a strong sense of family commitment as he had. However there is one trait that I carry that he ...read more

    Jesus reminds us that one of the guaranteed things about being a Christian is that we will encounter troubles. This sermon helps us view troubles from God’s perspective and that we should not be afraid of it.

    When you sense difficulties how do you react? When you sense problems what is your response? Recently I saw some hilarious videos of how people respond when they are in trouble In one video a man was carrying a box of photocopier paper when some jumped out from the behind corner and scared him….he ...read more

     | 74,291 views

    “What makes a good soldier?” I believe that there are three common traits that every good soldier possesses which are necessary in our lives if we are to be good soldiers for the Lord – Fidelity, Focus, and the ability to Follow Orders.

    Three Traits of a Good Soldier 2 Timothy 2:3-4 Introduction: As we think of soldiers past, who have sacrificed so valiantly, I want you to realize that if you are a Christian you too are a soldier, a soldier in the army of the Lord. Looking at our country’s soldiers past and present I ask ...read more

    Peter’s view of handling Spiritual Warfare

    SPIRITUAL WAREFARE 1 Peter 5:8-11 * God uses few things to teach us like He uses “experience.” For instance, in the matter of raising children you might get one kind of answer from a non-parent and an entirely different one from a parent. The reason is because the non-parent offers what the text ...read more

    God comes TO you and He comes FOR you. Let this two simple truths encourage you to trust in His faithfulness and goodness. He has never and will never leave you. He is always for you, and not against you.

    John began his Gospel quite differently from the rest of the Gospel writers. • The rest started with the historical accounts of the events that took place. • Matthew and Luke talked about circumstances leading to Jesus’ birth. • Mark started off with Jesus entering into ministry, and how John ...read more

    Living Through The Nothings Pt. 2 - Rain Man It is one of my least favorite words. Nothing. It is a word that reveals lack. It holds no element of promise. It contains no ounce of hope.

    Conflict is inevitable. Watch your heart in a conflict. Focus on the heart of the matter. Seek to please the heart of Christ.

    Just like to share with you a funny story at the start. A man was stranded all alone on the desert island for years before he was finally rescued. His rescuers asked him what the 3 huts were that he had built on the island. It’s perplexing for one man to have 3 structures. He said one ...read more
