    True Freedom By Pastor John Mateos Ong

     | 11,105 views

    True freedom is when we realize that we are free because we are freed by the Lord.

    There are two definitions of the word FREE, one means having no price and the other one means freedom. So if we think about it, what does being free really mean? What does true freedom really mean? There are times when some of us feels like we are not truly free, like we are still forbidden to do ...read more

    A great Easter message.

    We can only try to imagine the sorrow that gripped the hearts of the followers of Christ that weekend. Their Master had died. The miracle worker. The blind eye, deaf ear, lame limb healer. The Teacher of truth, the Prince of power, laid still in a cold, dark tomb. It shouldn’t have surprised them. ...read more

    The Journey From Life To Death (Part 1)

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Mar 21, 2023
     | 1,766 views

    What if we woke up every day realizing the only reason we are alive today, the only reason we have eternal life, hope, peace is because Jesus loved us enough to lay down His life for us so that we could live.

    This Lenten season we are talking about Jesus' journey from death to life. After Jesus’ time with the disciples in the upper room, He prayed His High Priestly prayer and as Rob spoke about last Sunday. Jesus was praying for unity, indwelling of the Spirit, joy, glory, giving and salvation for ...read more

    In The Garden Of Surrender: Jesus' Despair And His Acceptance Of God's Will

    Contributed by Ronald Moore on Sep 11, 2024
     | 607 views

    In this moment, we see a side of Jesus that resonates with all of us—the side that feels pain, fear, and even the desire for a different path. Yet, in this same moment, we also see the ultimate example of surrender and faith as Jesus submits to His Father’s will.

    Brothers and sisters in Christ, today we gather to reflect on one of the most poignant and human moments in the life of our Savior: His time of despair in the Garden of Gethsemane. In this moment, we see a side of Jesus that resonates with all of us—the side that feels pain, fear, and even the ...read more

     | 11,231 views

    For many Christians, there is a famine for God's Word that can easily affect their ability to face their problems. But it is possible to have spiritual feasting in the insurmountable riches of Christ. Let us learn from these characters from Genesis.

    FROM FAMINE TO FEASTING Text: GENESIS 43:1, 16, 31 Genesis 43: 1 "Now the famine was still severe in the land." Genesis 43: 16 When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the steward of his house, “Take these men to my house, slaughter an animal and prepare a meal; they are to eat with ...read more
