    Everybody wants something from us. We hurry through life but then run out of time and energy. Where are our priorities and values?

    It appears like everybody needs something from us, relatives, businesses, schools, chapels, or clubs. Before long there is brief period left to give, as we run out of time and energy.

    What can I give back to the Lord for all the good things He has done for me? This question forms the basis of our sermon, encouraging a personal and thoughtful reflection on our relationship with God.

    Today, we will explore a deeply personal and practical question: "What can I give to the Lord for all His blessings towards me?" This question arises from a heart filled with gratitude and a desire to respond to God's goodness. Let us delve into the content of Psalm 116 to find answers. First, we ...read more

    Prodigals, those who rebel and step away from God's blessings, still exist today. They indulge in reckless living, ruining their lives. But when they reach total desperation and are willing to repent, God runs to meet them and welcome them home.

    In this sermon, we will explore the parable of the Prodigal Son, which actually reveals the character and nature of our loving Heavenly Father. Jesus used this story to teach us about God's unconditional love and His willingness to embrace those who have strayed away from Him. It is important to ...read more

    Sometimes, the most detrimental thing God can do is to grant us our desires. The prodigal son's journey to a 'far country' symbolizes a place that first exists in our hearts. This journey and his eventual return home teaches us about the dangers of desire and the power of forgiveness.

    Today, we will explore the parable of the Prodigal Sons, which is the third story in a series of parables told by Jesus. This parable, along with the stories of a lost coin and a missing sheep, teaches us important lessons about God's love and forgiveness. Let us dive into the story and uncover its ...read more
