    Ingratitude is perhaps the most frequent and one of the most grievous of all sins that a Christian can commit.

As He entered a village, ten leprous men who stood at a distance met Him; and they raised their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!" When He saw them, He said to them, "Go ...read more

    What motivates you to be truly thankful to God? Even our normal thanks to God becomes academic and anemic at times. We need to keep our praise to Him fresh and alive so our passion for Him remains fresh and alive. Psalm 100 gives us that boost to help

    we live in a society which craves more yet we are called to be content, how can we be content when we feel we need more.

    Through our salvation in Christ, we are made alive in Him. Through His death, we find our life. Not only are we made alive through Christ’s death, but we begin a new life in Him, thus making us "A-life" in Christ. The sermon explores what it means to

     | 35,187 views

    With the pressures of life and sins we commit, we can lose the joy of our salvation and become dry. God wants to restore us to full and complete JOY in Him.

    Joy is to be an evidence of walking with Jesus! The book we are studying in our home group is called “Outflow”. The basic premise is that we are to let Jesus so fill our lives that He spills out and overflows from our life to others. Over the pass three weeks while reading the book I had to come ...read more

    Our hearts can be wells of salvation, open by faith in Jesus Christ and allowing the waters of life to flow into the lives or all those we meet and know as we walk our lives on this earth, no better reason for being than that.

    Wells We don’t tend to think much of wells these days do we We just turn a tap and there’s the water, who needs a well?
