Secret Of Joy Series

Contributed by Pastor Renji George on May 30, 2024

How helpless is man though he holds position, power, wealth and fame! Not knowing what is lying ahead, all he has are a loan from his creator God- leaving everything here on this side of the eternity when he departs this world.

Live today! Never miss today’s blessings. God is a God of present tense. He calls Himself “ I am that I am”. Many of us dream of a better future when we can enjoy the life comfortably without the struggles we have now. It is only a human hope, with no sound base (Proverbs 19:21) . None of us know ...read more

The Joy Of Giving Series

Contributed by Jason Grubbs on Feb 2, 2020

When we give, we partner with others who preach the Gospel, we plant seeds that result in blessing, and we praise God for the gift of salvation. God wants us to give because we want to, not because we have to. We should give out of the joy of our hearts for all that God has done for us.

Jesus talked about money more than any other subject, so don’t get upset with me for talking about it today. It is the next text in our series on Philippians so I am just following ...read more
