    Effectively Waiting On The Lord Amid A Pandemic

     | 2,853 views

    Genesis chapter 18 teaches us how to effectively wait on the Lord. We all tend to struggle most when we are watching the clock and waiting for time to past. If you have ever gone on a road trip with Children, the one question asked again and again is, “Are we there yet?”

    In Genesis 17-19, we have a revealing story of an interview between God and Abraham, His friend. Abraham proved to be a true Friend of God, while Lot proved to be a friend of the world. Not only is God Abraham’s friend, God is a friend of Sinners. After years of holding on to a promise from God, ...read more

     | 1,154 views

    No city, no nation, no culture deliberately sets out to become a society of depraved miscreants, to be forever remembered as abhorrent, to give its name to an unspeakable sin.

    Homily for Monday of 13th week in Course Gen 18; Mt 8:18-22 Have you ever wondered how Sodom and Gomorrah got to be the way they were in the time of Abraham and Lot? In their day gangs of violent homosexuals roamed the city night after night, invading the homes of law-abiding citizens, ...read more

    Shall Not The Judge Of All The Earth Do Right Series

     | 2,729 views

    Paul went into this question and answer section to debunk the wrong thoughts of the Jews, affirming the value of the covenant, God's faithfulness to His promises, and His righteous judgment for all people.

    The truth of the Gospel is that all men have sinned and come under the wrath of God. • Everyone will be judged by the same measure, for God does not show favouritism (2:11). Both the Jews and the Greeks will be judged for their sin. • Paul took extra efforts to draw attention to the Jews because ...read more

    “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened” (Luke 11:9-10)

    Introduction: Our theme for today’s sermon is “ask and it shall be given”. It is a teaching on prayer and its various dimensions that include the need to pray, the way to pray and the results to expect.

    Thoughts And Prayers Matter

     | 12,278 views

    In the wake of the mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio, politicians and many Christians are repeating “Thoughts and prayers are not enough. We need action.” Could it be that they, like many Christians, don’t truly understand prayer and what it can accomplish?

    In 2015, after a shooter left 14 dead in California, the cover of the New York Daily News shouted “God Isn’t Fixing This! As the latest batch of innocent Americans are left lying in pools of blood, cowards (referring to politicians) who could truly end gun scourge continue to hide behind ...read more

    Did Sodom and Gomorrah exist? Were they destroyed as Scripture says they were (short answer: yes, and yes). And what lessons can we learn from this story from Genesis?

    OPEN: Just like today, back in 1690s Jamaica was an island paradise. Palm trees in the sand, tropical breezes, beautiful beaches. People of wealth sought it out then just like they do now. And many of them built huge mansions at a town called Port Royal. Now, Port Royal wasn’t a “tourist trap.” It ...read more

    Pray Boldly!

     | 3,052 views

    Can our prayers really change an all-powerful and all-knowing God’s mind? How does prayer work? We’re going to see prayer in action as we examine a prayer offered by Abraham to the Lord. He prayed boldly and the Lord responded. What can we learn from that prayer about the prayers we offer?

    Nearly 1000 years after Abraham lived, the Lord wrote through the psalmist, “Call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me” (Psalm 50:15). The invitation was not a new one from the Lord. It was an invitation that God had extended to his people from the beginning of ...read more

    When You Hit A Wall, Look For A Door

     | 6,445 views

    As we grow older we will face walls, walls that old age all by its self produces. Some may be walls that we may have thought that were only for other people, like the wall of “Old Age.” Old Age is for others and not me.

    “When You Hit a Wall, Look For A Door” Gen 18:11-14 11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. 12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also? 13 And ...read more

    Why did Sarah laugh? And what does her laughter tell us about our relationship with God?

    OPEN: Dr. Short (one of the men who teaches Sunday School here) loves to share short puns in his classes… and I’m jealous so I decided to share a few of my own with memes. #1 - squirrel spreading his arms heavenward “I tried to come up with a squirrel pun, but everything I thought of was ...read more

    This prayer of Abraham seems to be the 1st recorded prayer in Scripture. Why did God preserve it for us, and what can we learn by how Abraham prayed?

    OPEN: In Europe in the Middle Ages, people had a strong belief in the power of prayer. They also believed that the purer and simpler the life you led, the more God would listen to you. And since Monks were supposed to live purer and simpler lives than anyone else their prayers were seen as a ...read more

    When Sarah laughs and scoffs at the Lord when He promises her a son, she is asked, is there anything too hard for God. As Christians, we must also realize that there is nothing too hard for God.

    Doing The Impossible Genesis 18: 1-15 (NLT) Intro:How many of you like magic? I guess ‘m a kid at heart when it comes to magic. I’m not a big fan of America”s Got Talent but it seems that every time I surf through that channel, (that’s what I do, I surf. We have to buy me ...read more
