    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on May 16, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,570 views

    Think about the questions that were posed to various people in the bible in the Old and New Testaments. The way the people responded brought about major transformation in their lives and that’s exactly what God can do to those who believe in Him wholeheartedly.

    We read in Matthew 9:27-28, When Jesus left that place, two blind men followed him. They shouted, "Have mercy on us, Son of David.” Jesus went into a house, and the blind men followed him. He said to them, "Do you believe that I can do this?" "Yes, Lord," they answered. ...read more

    We often talk about the power of prayer, but we seldom talk about the power of prayer and praise together. St. Augustine said, “He who sings prays twice.”

    Victory of Praise Text: Acts 16:25-34 Introduction 1. “Praise is prophetic power...to change your circumstances and to lift your burdens. Worship is like a victory cry before the victory.” -Gerald Mullins 2. We often talk about the power of prayer, but we seldom talk about the power of prayer and ...read more

    Sermon # 45 - The Two Sons Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 19, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 192 views

    Abraham had two sons, one born according to the flesh and the other according to God’s promise. Both of them were in complete contrast to each other. It is not enough if we are born according to the flesh, because the Lord demands that we are born again through the Holy Spirit.

    For today’s meditation we will look at Galatians 4:22-23, “Scripture says that Abraham had two sons, one by a woman who was a slave and the other by a free woman. Now, the son of the slave woman was conceived in a natural way, but the son of the free woman was conceived through a promise [made to ...read more

    Why do we need to fix our mind’s eyes on His Divine Radiance, especially during this holy week? Or, what can we experience, if we gaze on the Excellence of His qualities?

    “Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. During supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of ...read more

    Sermon # 44 - God Is Mindful Of Us Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 625 views

    Jonah sat outside the city of Nineveh in the blazing heat fuming against God, but God graciously appointed a plant to grow and give shade to Jonah. No matter what our situation is, let’s remember that God is mindful of us and He will never leave us nor forsake us.

    For our meditation let us look at Jonah 4:6, “Now the LORD God appointed a plant and made it come up over Jonah that it might be a shade over his head, to save him from his discomfort. So Jonah was exceedingly glad because of the plant.” (ESV) God gave Jonah a task to go and preach against ...read more
