    Moses had witnessed those who had lived many years, carrying the wealth and riches of Egypt, but they all died in the wilderness and failed to receive the promises of God. Moses prays "So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom."

    One of my favorite preachers, John Piper said, "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him." Do you agree? We are to love God with all of our being and desire Him more than anything or anyone else in this world. Let’s examine Psalm 63 t

    Finding Satisfaction in God John Piper has said, "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him." Do you agree? Let’s first look at what it means to “glorify God.” What exactly does this mean for us today? What do we mean when we say the “glory of God”? God desires to make Himself ...read more

     | 433 views

    Jonah did not perceive God’s heart and thereby failed to rejoice when God’s purposes were accomplished in Nineveh. We as a church must have our hearts beat as one with that of God’s and fulfill His purposes to reach the lost and bring them into God’s Kingdom.

    We read in Jonah 4:5, “Jonah went out east of the city and sat down. He made a shelter for himself and sat in its shade, waiting to see what would happen to Nineveh.” (GNB) In this series we are studying the life of Jonah and comparing it with the church of today, thereby trying to learn some ...read more

    In his letter to the Church at Philippi, Apostle Paul emphasizes the connection between our gratitude towards God and the peace it brings to our mind.

    Most of us think we have worshiped when we have felt the music has been uplifting and the sermon challenging... but Scripture seems to say something else. What do you think God believes is the mark of true worship?

     | 8,345 views

    We often pride ourselves in our work ethic, but we are addicted to work! This sermon takes a look at our need to find rest in the midst of a chaotic world and a myriad of responsibilities; using Jesus' practice of finding rest as our example.

    IMMEDIACY IN MARK When we read the Gospel of Mark, we read a story moving at breakneck speed.

And once he is baptized, it seems like he is ...read more
