    God Is Our Judge And Joy! Series

    Contributed by Larry Vollink on Nov 28, 2020
     | 1,971 views

    God is our Judge and our Joy! Our daily living must reflect what God wants from us -- following the Word of God, submitting to God, resisting the devil, humbling yourselves before the Lord, purifying your heart, and be peace-loving, considerate, full of mercy, and sincere (James 3:17)

    When the Lord appeared to Abraham and the 3 visitors came to him, to tell him that Sarah would have a son, the Lord told him he would destroy Sodom and Gomorrah with the wicked and the righteous together. Abraham called Him 'The Judge of All the Earth." But the "Judge" was able ...read more

    All Because Of His Grace Series

    Contributed by Saumiman Saud on Jun 9, 2025
     | 342 views

    We often easily say, “All because of His grace,” when we experience good things. But what about when we face difficulties? The Bible teaches us to remain thankful and acknowledge God’s grace in every situation, both in joy and sorrow:

    ALL BECAUSE OF HIS GRACE Several Bible verses affirm that everything is because of God’s grace, including: Romans 3:24: “And all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” Ephesians 2:8-9: “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this ...read more

    After Happily Ever Series

    Contributed by Eduardo Quintana on Oct 13, 2021
     | 1,100 views

    Some of you may think the church’s marital code is hopelessly outdated and irrelevant for today. Many believe the enduring myth that cohabitation works as a sort of trial marriage. The stats tell us that cohabitation actually becomes a trial divorce.

    If you’ve ever read The Little Mermaid story or watched the Disney version, you might think this is every woman’s fantasy. It’s a wonderful, romantic fairy tale of a beautiful girl falling in love with a handsome, rich and dashing prince, overcoming insurmountable odds to be together with a story ...read more

    An everlasting kingdom.

    CHRIST THE KING, OUR ADVENT HOPE. Daniel 7:9-10; Daniel 7:13-14.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,360 views

    We need to trust God and let Him guide us. We need to focus on the future He has for us instead of dwelling on the past. God has a good plan for our lives, and His thoughts and ways are higher than ours.

    Today, we're talking about your future. Now, I know we all have plans, dreams, and goals, but here's the thing: God's got plans for us too, and they're way better than anything we could come up with.

    We all carry worries and anxieties. Instead of keeping them to ourselves, we should give them to Jesus and trust Him to handle them.

    As followers of Christ, we are called to balance our earthly responsibilities with our heavenly ones, reflecting Jesus in our daily lives.

    You know how Jesus was a pretty cool teacher, right? People were always asking Him questions, but some of them had sneaky plans. They wanted to trap Him and get Him out of the picture. In our story today, some religious big shots tried to trap Jesus by asking about paying taxes. But Jesus, being ...read more
