    Using the criticisms of the disillusioned church goer in Ecclesiastes, this message presents how Christians can grow as individuals and as a church.

(2) Be not rash with your mouth, nor let your heart be hasty to utter a word before God, for God is in heaven ...read more

    This is a review of some Scriptural principles that apply to our participation in the Church Offering or Collection.

    Of all the items of worship, the one that gets the least of attention is the Offering. I think that is the case for a couple reasons - First, we do not place much emphasis on the Offering because we do not want to be grouped together with other churches and religious ministries that focus a ...read more

    Little lizards crawl around church building in Asia and no one seems to mind because everyone knows that they are harmless and they catch bugs that are harmful. Not a bad work ethic.

    We are looking at the book of Proverbs. Like one who seizes a dog by the ears is a passer-by who meddles in a quarrel not his own. Remember last week we met two women who live in the pages of the book of Proverbs: Lady Wisdom and Madame Folly. The final question is: who are you going to ...read more

In reality, though, they were far from where God ...read more

    When we come to church, remember to get to the right focus - God, and get to the right agenda - prayer, communion with God.

    We are looking at a rare glimpse of Jesus today – His anger over something He is passionate about. It pays for us to take note. If it can drive Him to behave in such a way, it must be something we need to take note of today. The Temple was a good thing. God commanded the people of Israel to ...read more
