    Overcoming Obstacles (Part 1) Series

     | 17,475 views

    In this sermon, we wrestle with the doubts, fears and compromise that comes when we face obstacles and opposition.

    Introduction: A. Life is full of obstacles. 1. So the most important question is not: “Will we face obstacles?” 2. Rather, the most important question is: “How will we overcome the obstacles we face?” B. I like the story told of three men who were hiking in the wilderness ...read more

    Facing Opposition Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Oct 21, 2018
     | 7,144 views

    When we do God's work, we can expect opposition. We don't have to be discouraged. God will finish what He has started.

    We started Ezra 1 with the move of God and the edict of King Cyrus, and the start of a long and difficult journey for the exiles returning back to Jerusalem. • In Ezra 2 we have the list of the returning exiles, by families and towns, and the various roles they play. • In Ezra 3 we saw the altar ...read more

    The Move Of God Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Oct 27, 2018
     | 7,758 views

    God moves the remnant through Haggai and Zechariah to restart the rebuilding of the Temple of God. He assures and encourages them.

    The rebuilding of the Temple of God came to a halt, because of the harassment from the Samaritans and the pressure from the Persian officials. • And it stopped for 16 years, until the 2nd year of King Darius’ reign. With the Temple unbuilt, God was left out of their mind and their lives. • The ...read more

    Celebrate Salvation!

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 2, 2021
     | 4,287 views

    This impulse must always live among us: a joyful seeking after the LORD. For we’ve seen how God has saved us through his only Son. We have such great reason for joy, even if we possess little, or even if we have much to grieve. Even so, there is great joy in Christ.

    If there’s ever a special occasion, we like to celebrate it with a meal. If someone graduates from school, or has a significant birthday, or if there’s a wedding, we get together for something to eat and drink. For food can be very festive. We see this in the Bible too. Think of all the feasts God ...read more

    The Call To Rebuild

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Aug 19, 2021
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,296 views

    God is calling the church to rebuild after the Corona Virus pandemic lock-downs. But amidst the challenges, it takes uncommon trust and surrender to tackle what God is asking. This message can be re-worked for a building program.

    Someone once said, “Build. Destroy. Rebuild. I’ve mastered the art of bouncing back. Now, to master the art of not having to” (Dau Voire). This is probably how a lot of us feel. We’re tired of striving and struggling, and we’re tired of having to rebuild. But rebuilding is necessary in order ...read more

    Construction Site Or Warzone?

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Aug 25, 2021

     | 4,714 views

    God is calling the church to rebuild after the Corona Virus pandemic lock-downs. Any church that rebuilds becomes a construction site, which is a warzone for spiritual battle. This message can be re-worked for a building program.

    Last week I mentioned how I believe that God is calling us to rebuild our fellowship after a series of setbacks. This means that our church is currently sitting smack dab in the middle of a spiritual construction site. I remember how I once pastored a church where we built a multipurpose ...read more

    Are You A Church Builder?

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Mar 16, 2021
     | 5,623 views

    The work in Christ’s church will not get done in a hurry. We don’t even have a target date for completion. But this is what makes the difference for our church building: It’s the work of our Lord! It’s the church that Christ bought with his precious blood.

    Are you a church builder? Do you see it as your responsibility to serve the church of Christ? To strengthen it, and to grow it? You should, because that’s the calling given to you by the Lord God! Sometimes we like to leave church-building work to the experts. We leave the physical aspects of the ...read more

    Support From A King Series

     | 2,644 views

    Those who spend their efforts to destroy God’s work are fighting for a lost cause. God will Triumph. A little faith overcame opposition. Through faith the Israelites overcame apathy. There is so much we can do as Christians with the Holy Spirit through faith.

    The noted 18th century French Philosopher Voltaire (1694-1778) was a renowned Atheist. He criticized the Bible and he claimed that “One hundred years from my day, there will not be a Bible in the earth except one that is looked upon by an antiquarian curiosity seeker.” A few decades after ...read more
