    Are there directions that you sense are God’s will and direction, but you’re not sure? This message will encourage and equip you to deal with the issues that must be resolved in faith.

    In looking at the passage in 1 Samuel, Jonathan seemed to be in a situation of uncertainty. The future, the absolute direction he needed for the present time just was not clear. All he could say in v.6 was "It may be..." He couldn’t be sure one way or the other. He seemed to, and probably did, ...read more

    This sermon is one of a reminder of how the grace of God has brought us out of the darkness of Satan into the marvelous light of Jesus the Christ. We use to be old dead bones but the breath of the living God breathed life in us through salvation.

    Introduction: As I was taking my shower the other day, God Himself spoke a Word into my spirit. He took me to book of Ezekiel when it centered around the dry bones. I said God I’ve heard the story many times about the connection of the dry bones; however, there are unlimited facets to the mind ...read more

    There are enemies who are within the camp of God and pretend to be serving Christ, yet they are deceivers who have been sent by the devil to abuse the flock. In this sermon we will focus on how to identify whether a person has been sent by God or by the devil.

    In the previous chapter we learnt that there are some enemies who are within the camp of God and pretend to be serving Christ, yet they are deceivers who have been sent by the devil to abuse the flock.

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,183 views

    This is a message for anyone who feels like their failure has disqualified them from God’s plans. Through Peter’s story, we see that failure is not the end; it’s an opportunity for God to show His grace and call us into greater purpose.

    Expository Sermon: Restored to Lead Key Text: John 21:17 – “He said to him the third time, ‘Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?’ Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, ‘Do you love Me?’ And he said to Him, ‘Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.’ Jesus said to him, ...read more

    This sermon on prayer points to the character of God the Father as an encouragement to pray.

    The Storyteller: The Parable of the Giving Father Matthew 7:7-11 Before you read this sermon, allow me to make two points. First, not all parables are long like the story of the Prodigal Son; some are only a sentence or two. Second, I have long found prayer to be something of a mystery. To quote ...read more

    Seizing God’s Opportunities

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on Aug 22, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 17,655 views

    This sermon is taken from the Latin expression, "Carpe Diem," or "Seize the Day." It's about seizing those opportunities God gives to us. It extracts nuggets of information about Jonathan's victory over the Philistines found in 1 Samuel 14. (This sermon has been updated)

    Seizing God’s Opportunities 1 Samuel 14:1-15 John Wycliffe lived 200 years before the Protestant Reformation, which ushered in a belief system that moved the church away from Roman Catholicism, and towards a belief in God and the Scriptures as the source of divine revelation. Wycliffe, and ...read more

    The Lord's Supper is the bloodbath of God. For we have the sure Word from the Son of God: “This is My blood shed for you for the forgiveness of sins.”

    Intro “Bloodbath” is not a word that brings pleasant images to mind. If you were to pull some books off the library shelf, you’d find descriptions like these for the word “bloodbath”: Yes, it was a bloodbath, yes it was annihilation of all the inhabitants, yes it was ...read more
