    Most couples when they walk down the isle think that it’s going to be Happily ever after because that’s what’s portrayed for us on the screen. But it can be a few days, months or even year, you begin to realize that marriage isn’t all happily evert after

    “Hold on, There’s Hope!” 1 Cor. 13:1-7 Our Scripture today is Paul’s letter to the church at Corinth which was experiencing a lot of turmoil and infighting as a new body of Christ. Paul’s answer was simply one word: love. This was a prescription of how the body of ...read more

    David gives us three great lessons (plus many others) to help us to trust in the Lord more.

    One thing that can so greatly be seen within this psalm is David’s complete trust in the lord. He had a confidence based not in his own abilities, but in the strength of the lord; mounting confidence which his enemies and even armies and war could shake. He knew from his past deliverances ...read more

    An Easter Message that takes a different slant on Christ preparation of the disciples. It calls us to boldly embrace and share the power of His resurrection.

    The gates of hell no longer have a hold on you! Matthew 16:13-19 Easter Sunday 2015 Dr. Jim Bohrer Gates are all around us. Some gates protect a garden, a yard, perhaps a store.

    "Holding on to our Past" is something that can inhibit not only our relationships, our outlook on life, but also our sense of identity and spiritual growth in Jesus.

    If you are not familiar with an Anglican Service there are 4 readings prior to the Sermon. The assigned readings for this day were: Isaiah 43:16-21; Psalm 126; Philippians 3:7-16 and Luke 20:9-19. I will be Drawing from our New Testament reading in Philippians this morning.

    Holding On . . . But Letting Go – Be Steadfast In Hope And Waiting Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 14, 2022
     | 2,683 views

    We have a precious faith and we must hold on to it firmly. Commitment grasps that faith. Holding on to God's promises is essential. We look at the often misapplied verses of Hebrews 6 and who it was who actually let go. They are NOT Christians.

    Message - Holding On But Letting Go Red Cross Hall 19 July 2014 HOLDING ON . . . BUT LETTING GO – BE STEADFAST IN HOPE AND WAITING The subject here may seem like an apparent contradiction (an oxymoron); something we hold on to but let go of it. Well, that gets us nowhere, unless there is a ...read more

    The problem is we don’t know what to worship just by looking at the scriptures. Some people mistake that to be worship creation itself. Some people worship creation instead of the Creator. They misunderstand the message.

    We’re studying the book of Genesis and we start, of course, with Genesis 1 which is creation. Last week we looked at God created the heavens and the earth. We looked at day one where God created light. One of the things we said is here’s what happens when you start to look at creation. There is a ...read more

    May we like Peter, recognise whose hands to hold, who to call on for help, in moments of adversity. Indeed his hands are never too far from reaching us in times of trouble.

    Matthew 14:22- 33 recounts the story of Jesus instructing his disciples to get into a boat heading to the other side. Midway through their journey the disciples encounter a terrible storm. Jesus at this point shows up in the middle of the storm walking on the sea- Peter realising it was master ...read more

    Can anyone relate? Have you ever been excited about what is in your heart, but at the same time felt boxed in, trapped, on hold, or on a plateau in life? Welcome to the crowd! A plan of action for dealing with delays.

    Sermon: When God Puts You on Hold! Scripture: Acts 1:4-8, “Once when he (Jesus) was eating with them, he commanded them, “Do not leave Jerusalem until the Father sends you the gift he promised, as I told you before.

    What Holds When You’re Tested

    Contributed by Lewis Martin on Jun 28, 2025
     | 473 views

    In Philippians 1:12–26, Paul writes from prison—but his faith isn’t shaken. This message invites us to consider what truly holds when life tests us. Is Jesus our comfort… or our everything? Let’s explore the difference surrender makes.

    Sermon Introduction: “What Holds When You’re Tested” Philippians 1:12–26 Let me tell you about two people. Both go to church. Both say they follow Jesus. But one wants just enough Jesus to feel better— to ease the guilt, to call for help when things go wrong. The other? They’ve given Jesus ...read more

    Holding On When It Doesn’t Make Sense

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Aug 14, 2025
     | 119 views

    Holding on when it doesn’t make sense is one of the greatest demonstrations of faith. It is a declaration to heaven and earth that your trust is not in what you see, but in the God who holds your future.

    HOLDING ON WHEN IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Job 13:15 Key Verse: “Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.” (Job 13:15, KJV) Supporting Texts: Hebrews 11:1, Isaiah 55:8-9, Romans 8:28, Proverbs 3:5-6, Habakkuk 3:17-19, ...read more

    Matthew 10:23 says "I tell you the truth, the Son of Man will return before you have reached all the towns of Israel." Reminds me of that song by the Bee Gees in 1968 "I've Gotta Get a Message to You. Hold on! Hold on!"

    Part 16 - Matthew 10:21-42 - GOT TO GET A MESSAGE TO YOU. HOLD ON, HOLD ON!

Fathima Rifqa Bary says her family will murder her in what is known as an "HONOUR ...read more
