    God has a view of what he expects his children to be. In His view they are a family of priest sent to represent Him in the world.

    You and Me in the world Last week we talked about vision…We tried to see vision via God’s eyes….Which I believe is not limited by the walls of a building or a membership. A church that does not have a vision that extends past the walls or the church property is held back by man made limits and ...read more

    The blooms of the fig tree always appear before the leaves in spring. When Jesus saw leaves on a fig tree, he expected the fruit.

    Let me begin by saying something about Jesus cursing the fig tree. You will also find this story in Matthew 21: 18 and 19. This tree was a fruit-producing plant which could be either a tall tree or a low-spreading shrub. The size of the tree depended on its location and soil. The fruit of the ...read more

That call is not a call to perfection, but a call to consistency and reliability. 3. All of this calls for the need to be faithful in attendance and ...read more

    God listens to our prayers and answers them justly. Sometimes it might be irrelevant to the expectations of the one who prayed, but never a prayer is unanswered.

    In times of difficulty, it is natural to lament, or blame somebody. But a disciple of Jesus Christ would react otherwise. Since his life is devoted to Jesus Christ, he is well informed about his savior. And nothing shakes his faith even in midst of darkness around. For instance, take prophet ...read more

    What God is about to do is so great, and so important and so impressive that what He has done in the past pales in comparison. If you persist in holding too tightly to the greatness of what He did in the past, you will miss the greatness of what He is goi
