    Failure Is Not Fatal Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Nov 20, 2005
    based on 31 ratings
     | 14,578 views

    Failure is not fatal if we remember that (1) everybody fails, (2) God’s love is not dependent upon your success, and (3) the lessons learnt from it.

    Have you ever made a mistake? Welcome to the human race. It just means you’re alive. Everyone wants to succeed. The society wants us to succeed. It puts undue pressure on us. People will do anything – lie, cheat, steal – in order to succeed. Striving for success is good. There is nothing ...read more

    Jesus died for you and me– True or False? Well, today is Good Friday, the day that we remember Christ’s death on the cross. Have you ever stopped to wonder about this contradiction in terms.

    A road map to New Life in Christ - from being Dead, Enslaved and Condemned - through the Grace of God, telling us What God Has Done,Why God Did It and What We Are Now (Or Should Be).

    The Bible is great literature but to the Christian it’s more than that – it’s God’s Story of His self-revelation to mankind. The story-line is God’s working out of His sovereign purpose in effecting a re-creation of what was fundamentally damaged by the sin of our first parents. God chose to do ...read more

     | 6,849 views

    Increasingly Christ has been pushed out of Christmas... but there is a deeper struggle and a higher objective for us who love Jesus. No matter how successful the world may be in removing Christ from Christmas... our Jesus is "on the move."

    You see, it turns out that much that we think is reality is illusion; and things which seem of little significance may play the key role at the end of all time. A sermon in three parts.

    (This message was preached in three parts separated by singing.) I. Finding Our True Place (This first segment is taught as a children’s object lesson. In preparation a number of chairs was set out equal to the number of children with one being especially nice and another being very shabby. ...read more

    based on 10 ratings
     | 10,311 views

    The chastening of God often goes unrecognized in the lives of his people, but the only true way to "find rest" is to yield and repent.

    The Chastening Of God Text: Amos 4:6-12 Introduction: • Amos the prophet lived and ministered during the reigns of : i) King Jeroboam II in Israel ii) King Uzziah in Judah a. The kingdom was split i. 10 tribes in the north - Israel ii. 2 tribes in the south – Judah • He himself lived in a town ...read more

Where are the nine?” Good questions. And I’m happy to be here to tell you tonight that we finally have answers. Through ...read more

    James teaches us how to Practice Pre-Christmas Patience by: I. Patiently remembering that the Lord is in control, and II. Patiently remembering that the Lord wishes to bless us.

    Advent 3 James 5:7-11 Do you know what two of the most dreaded words a teacher can hear from one of their students are?

    Ironic isn’t it? We can do so well in our Christian walk, we depend upon our Christian competencies rather than the Holy Spirit.

    Was Jesus kidding? “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” Come on, what does that mean? Certainly Jesus is speaking in metaphors, certainly Jesus is exaggerating, certainly Jesus means something else….. In the city of Jerusalem ...read more
