When Jesus met with messengers from John the Baptist, we are given an explanation of the ministry of Jesus, a clarification of the identity of John, and an illustration of the perversity of the people.
Scripture It has been several chapters since Luke has told us about Jesus’ cousin, John the Baptist. The last time we heard of John he was preaching and baptizing and drawing incredibly large crowds to his ministry in the desert in the region around the Jordan River. Eventually, Jesus ...read more

This sermon explores how Nehemiah's process of building, discerning, and progressing can inspire us to approach our own life challenges as adventures with God.
Good morning, family. I hope this day finds you well and eager to dive into the Word of God. We gather today because we share a love for our Lord, a desire to know Him more intimately, and a hope to be transformed by His truth. We gather in the spirit of unity, ready to hear and receive what God ...read more

THE PARADOX OF THE CROSS (1 CORINTHIANS 1:18-31) The cross took a major political beating since 2004.

When it comes to salvation, can we boast about anything? The Apostle Paul chose to boast about just one thing, and it had nothing to do with himself.
The book of Galatians was written by the Apostle Paul to combat false teaching that the Galatian Christians had believed. Paul says to them, “who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth?” The Judaizers were the culprits, stating that circumcision was essential for salvation along with ...read more

It is important to cross over a new year with goals, with God’s presence, with urgency, with a clean up, and without any heavy baggages.
CROSSING OVER By : Ng Wah Lok Text: Josh 3:1-17 Joshua had a difficult task in front of him. He was to lead the people across the Jordan into the promise land. He was to achieve what his mentor Moses failed to do 40 years ago. But first, he had to crossover the Jordan river. Crossing over a ...read more

The recent controversy over Mel Gibson’s Passion of Christ proves that whenever the message of the cross is presented unfiltered it always evokes controversy.
The Unfiltered Cross 17For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel--not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. 18For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. ...read more

How do we get pure? How can we relate to God? We find out in Hebrews 9:14. That purity comes by the cross. Nothing can compare to the power of Christ in cleaning up a life.
God is pure. He is like the snow on the top of the Himalayan mountains. We are un-pure. We are like the mud puddle on the road. You can’t mix the two together. The mud puddle water will contaminate the Himalayan snow. Then how do we get pure? How can we relate to God? We find out in Hebrews 9:14. ...read more

Lent 4: The Lord has prescribed the method whereby we must be saved. It might seem odd - maybe crazy - like gazing at a snake on a pole... or a Savior on a Cross.
Folks were fussing and griping. They were angry and upset and - as is almost always the case under these circumstances - they began to criticize. Soon the words became heated. The harshness of the comments spoken was only thinly veiled. The angry words spoken were like painful, barbed darts – ...read more
Scripture: Numbers 21:4-9, Numbers 21:1
"It is finished" is one of the most familiar statements that Jesus made from the Cross. But what does that statement from Jesus on the cross made so long ago mean to us today?
Last week we saw in Jesus his physical and spiritual agony as he said, “I am thirsty.” In that statement we saw that Christ indeed did indeed experience the things that we did physically. He knew what it was like to have a thirst, he had experienced dehydration. He didn’t have some phantom body ...read more
