     | 3,722 views

    Zechariah ends up in Holy of Holies because of a cast lot. Why would God move through something like that?

    What In The World? When it came to which priest went into the Holy of Holies, God’s will was chosen by lot. - Luke 1:9. - This is odd to us. This seems weird. - And yet here it is in the Christmas story. - We want to chase down this line of thought: What does this being part of the ...read more

     | 4,890 views

    Those who assume positions of influence and leadership must be willing to pay the price to hold such positions. In this lesson we'll explore the price Peter paid in Antioch when he played the hypocrite and was rebuked by Paul.

    There are people in this world who possess the natural ability to lead and command the respect of others. Whether you call it charm, charisma, magnetism, or whatever, such people wield a powerful influence on those who look up to them as the embodiment of all they would like to become ...read more

    How to deal with difficult verses

    A. INTRODUCTION: WHY SOME VERSES ARE HARD 1. Because God is truthful, He wrote a Bible that is truthful. Truth is consistent with its self, and correlates with reality (the laws of nature). 2. What appears to be a contradiction, has an explanation. 3. We won’t understand everything. Peter said ...read more

    I will not accept cheap shots at science in order to justify my acceptance of Scripture. Neither will I compromise Scripture by reinterpreting it in ways that may satisfy science

    According to a Gallup poll, in 2012, 44 percent of Americans believed that “God created human beings pretty much in their present form at one time in the last 10,000 years or so.” A second group of 32 percent believed that “human beings have developed over millions of years from ...read more

    I firmly believe in living our lives (here at NEW LIFE) by what the Bible tells us in Romans 12:1. That is - we “present our bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is our reasonable service.”

    REDEEMED BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB Intro: One of the most enjoyable things I know about being a part of NEW LIFE CHURCH is not having to live by a bunch of church rules and regulations. Church life can be simple or it can become complicated. After pastoring complicated churches, I have decided that ...read more

    Death From Christians Perspective Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Nov 22, 2021
     | 3,235 views

    Some deaths people treat as a “tragic end”, but for some deaths, people say “well-earned rest”. Our judgments are not true because those are based on outward known deeds. Death reveals mysteries.

    Message for Memorial Day – Theme: DEATH in Christian Perspective Text: 1 Corinthians 15:56 The Diagnosis A woman accompanied her husband to visit a doctor. After his check-up, the doctor called the wife into his chamber. He said, "If you don't do the following, your husband will surely ...read more
