     | 2,491 views

    We are only given a brief interval to repent, so we need to know what repentance is, who needs to repent, and when our chance to repent will expire.

    As Jonah fled from the presence of God, he had no idea as to the consequences he would face. We as a church too must be cautious in many ways so that we do no lose out on the awesome presence of God and His Holy Spirit.

    We read in Jonah 1:3, “But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. And he went down to Joppa. And he found a ship going to Tarshish. And he paid its fare, and went down into it, in order to go with them to Tarshish, away from the presence of the LORD.” (AFV) As we continue ...read more

     | 1,849 views

    "He that ears to hear, let him hear.” Why did Jesus say this about the purpose of parables and what does it mean for us today?

    I am going to open the message with the first part of John 16:13 from the Amplified Bible. “But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth).” During the Last Supper, which is recorded in John chapters 13 through 17, ...read more

    The Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and whose feet are like fine brass, says these things: I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience, and that your last works are more than the first.
