    The crossing of the Jordan River reminded us of the need to have a heart to follow God, a faith to believe Him fully, and the courage to act on His Word. God will do His amazing works, very often, beyond what we can see or imagine.

    [The sermon thoughts here taken and adapted from Edmund Chan’s book Growing Deep in Faith] God has promised to give His people the land of Canaan and to guide them there. • It does not mean, however that the journey will be smooth and easy. In fact, the opposite is true - there are obstacles and ...read more

    What a beautiful letter from Paul to the Philippians! Chapter four points to the peace of God from the God of peace and the power of contentment through the strength of Christ. A must read for all Christians looking for joy and encouragement in Christ!

    (Read the entire letter of Philippians as if hearing it’s loving message for the first time). What a message from God!

    Pliny, the Roman governor of Bithynia, who sent a report of the activities of the Christians to Trajan, the Roman Emperor, in which he said, “They meet at dawn to sing a hymn to Christ as God.” The gratitude of the Church has always gone up to God in praise and song.

    Many times, we get swayed away from the truth or the right path, only to regret later.

    I watched a movie titled “The Last Kingdom” where two groups of plunderers met in a certain Kingdom. One group made a deal with the King that if they helped him to destroy his enemies, he would pay them 400 worth of silver.

    "The Blessed Hope" through the coming of Christ is shown through salvation from: 1) The Penalty (Titus 2:11), 2) The Power (Titus 2:12), 3) The Presence (Titus 2:13), and 4) The Possession (Titus 2:14) of sin.
