    Being a Christian, living a Christian life is not something which occurs spontaneously or automatically. It doesn’t just happen. We don’t just sit back and do nothing about it.

    The Blessing Of The Ascension Series

    Contributed by Billy Ricks on Apr 15, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,290 views

    Why did Jesus bear the burden of the cross, why the resurrection the breakthrough? So that we coud experience the blessing of God. The best definition of the Holy Spirit is Christ in us. Easter is over but the word and work of Jesus are still ongoing.

    Intro: Thus far we have examined the burden of the cross, the breakthrough of the resurrection, now we come to the blessing of the ascension. How can it be that I would say that Jesus, the embodiment of God leaving this planet would be a blessing? Because the bodily incarnation of God cannot ...read more

    Living the Foolproof Life James 3:13-18 13 Who is wise and understanding among you?

    Our Heavenly Father

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jun 18, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,011 views

    When we pray, we see the Father’s love (the basis of our prayer), the Father’s control (our assurance), and the Father’s heart (our goal in life).

    The Lord’s Prayer we recite is a prayer Jesus taught His disciples. • It is not His prayer to God but a prayer meant for us. • Jesus need not have to pray “forgive us our sins” for He had no sins. In the Scriptures, the longest prayer of Jesus is found in John 17. • This prayer was made just ...read more

    based on 14 ratings
     | 18,811 views

    The transfiguration answers the question: "Who is Jesus?" It also helps us to see that the Kingdom of Heaven is not out there for when we die, but right here, right now for when we live.

    I remember a time when I had misplaced my good pen and I was looking for it everywhere. I looked in drawers. I looked under things, behind things and in things.

    Secret Sin

    Contributed by James Dina on Jul 21, 2020
     | 7,024 views

    Your sin is not a secret; the eye of God has seen it; you have sinned before his face. God's eye pierces through the darkness; the brick walls which surrounded you were as transparent as glass to the eye of the Almighty God.

    SECRET SIN One of Satan's biggest lies is that there are some sins that God does not either care about or know about (David Scudder). Not only does God know about our secret sins, but sooner or later, one way or the other, ...read more

    Being Prayerful Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Aug 23, 2019
     | 2,996 views

    Recognising that many prayers in the New Testament are in the plural and focus on community, not just individuals, this messages gathers many New Testament Scriptures to teach from Scripture how a church in fellowship together is to be a prayerful church.

    Note to preachers This sermon is a collecting of verses all about prayer. I used a power point presentation as I preached so the verses easily followed one another. On the power point I underlines where the words were in the plural to emphasise the community fellowship aspect of prayer. ...read more
