    We never quite know what to do with the emotion of sadness. Here's a biblical look at dealing with sadness.

    God took what man cannot overcome, sin and death, and showed man that He could overcome it! What is in your life that you have not been able to conquer? Allow God to show you His power!

    A Voice From The Beach

     | 6,763 views

    A perspective on John 21: 1-14. Like the disciples in the boat who listened to the voice of a ‘stranger’ from the beach, somehow you too will know at the right time where to ‘cast the net.’ At that time, you too will say with joy, “It is the Lord.”

    John 21: 1-14 A Voice From The Beach The Gospel according to John closes with one more miracle given by Jesus. Although it is the final miracle recorded in the Gospel, it is the first of his resurrected life. It happened this way: Some of the disciples of Jesus were sitting about on the shore by ...read more

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Aug 11, 2021
     | 4,749 views

    Depression affects how you feel, the way you think, and how you act. It is affecting more than 264 million people, Christians and non-Christians alike. This sermon talks about symptoms and factors that cause depression and what the Bible says about it.

    Last Sunday, we learned about grief. Today and next week, we will learn about depression. Depression is different from sadness or grief. The death of a loved one, loss of a job, or the ending of a relationship are difficult experiences for a person to endure. But being sad is not the same as having ...read more

    Memorial For A Christian Lady

     | 22,683 views

    A short reflection I used for an active Christian lady who passed at the age of 90 years.

    One of the major themes in the book of Ecclesiastes, and certainly a theme that is reflected in our passage this afternoon, is that everything in this life, including life itself, is temporary. The author wrote that, “For everything there is a season. A time to be born and a time to die.” Words ...read more
