     | 1,707 views

    In this sermon I want to look at the Jewish Sabbath. When we start to look at some of the ridiculous things that the Jews taught about the Sabbath, it shocks us

    Illus: This reminds me of a young boy that found himself in the locker room of the local YWCA. When he was spotted, the room burst into screams of horror, with ladies grabbing towels and running for cover. The little boy watched in amazement and said “What’s the matter haven’t you ever seen a ...read more

    When challenged with Jordan like situations that seem overwhelming and impossible to tide over we must not lose heart. When we look back with gratitude, trust God for the impossible and stay grounded on His Word, we too will experience God’s mighty deliverance in our lives.

    For our meditation we will meditate on Joshua 3:13,“When the priests who carry the Covenant Box of the LORD of all the earth put their feet in the water, the Jordan will stop flowing, and the water coming downstream will pile up in one place." (GNB) The place of this incident is at the banks ...read more

    There are so many who are gripped with all sorts of fears, and only the Lord Jesus can help us overcome these fears. Anyone who puts their faith in Jesus will conquer every fear and live a victorious life.

Jesus went on to explain in ...read more

    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

    Most Christains try cleaning Fish before they catch Fish. Even Jesus knew there are steps to take when winning the lost. Let’s examine it together!

    Introduction With so few Christians actively sharing their faith, we may never get back to the heart of the mission of the Church. Winning the lost. How it happened I can’t be sure, many are too often preoccupied with cleaning fish rather than catching fish. We want to look good as if that meant ...read more

    When Jesus says, "A time is coming and now has come when true worshippers will worship the Lord in spirit and in truth," he was giving us some insights into worship.

    “Worship” John 4:7-23 If you were to ask 100 people what worship is, you’d probably get 100 different answers. The primary reason for this would be the wide range of backgrounds and experiences. Another reason for such a wide range of views of worship is the never-ending list of “worship ...read more
