    What you may not know about what happened to Lazarus and the rich man will really surprise you. There is some deeper insight into this.

    In Luke 16:19–31 Jesus told a very strange story about a rich man, whom He didn’t name, and a poor man named Lazarus. The rich man lived in luxury while Lazarus, a beggar who lay at the rich man’s gate, was covered with sores and had very little to eat. In due time both men died. Angels carried ...read more

    The focus of our personal ministries should be introducing and calling attention to Jesus Christ, not ourselves.

    Trust Is Not A Destination

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jun 24, 2014
     | 5,524 views

    God steps into your life to bless you. His promises are meant to be kept. Faith is a willingness to trust God. Time is on God's side. Enjoy His presence in the journey.

    I came across this phrase, “When God hijacks my life” recently in my reading and finds it interesting. • It was used in the good sense. When God surprises you with something that you do not expect and is unprepared for, and takes you on a new path or a new ...read more

    When God Asks For Your Isaac Series

    based on 10 ratings
     | 86,427 views

    God asked Abraham to lay down his Isaac. His story is an incredible picture of the Cross and how God loved us enough to surrender His Son, Jesus, for our sin. Do we love Him enough to surrender our Isaac today?

    It has been said that Christians are like tea bags……they always do best when they get in hot water. In Genesis chapter 22, we find Abraham in the hottest water of his life as God tries his faith. The Bible teaches three key truths about trials in the life of a believer: 1) Trials come to ...read more

    Many live under the illusion that we'll be able to live the good life with the right strategy, the proper techniques, and enough discipline. The reality? James says we are not in control of our lives.

    Opening: One day, a young man saw a sign at a restaurant that said, "Free Lunch Tomorrow." The next day he brought his friends to have lunch at the restaurant. When they finished eating, a waiter came to him with the bill of $100 to pay. He was surprised and didn't want to pay. He ...read more

    The Omnipresence of God means that there is no place in creation where God does not exist. It will take a while to wrap our mind around that thought.

    Our Awesome God Series: GOD’S OMNIPRESENCE OR EVERYWHERE PRESENCE PSALM 139: 7-12 God is unlike anything we know or experience. God is infinite. God is not subject to space and time.
