    Lessons From the Wise—Go, Ready, Set. Matthew 2:1-2NIV It’s poor etiquette to attend a party and not bring the host/honoree a gift. We should feel privileged to receive an invitation to attend. Therefore, it’s extremely important that we bring the right gifts to the honoree—King Jesus. These ...read more

    Making God Rejoice Over Us!

    Contributed by Sumeet Mj on Apr 5, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 11,455 views

    Often we think that we need to offer God our Praise, Adoration, Applauds and Rejoice but the opposite is also true. God also rejoices over us when we choose to do the right things. Here is a detailed sermon to understand this principle.

    Zephaniah 3:17; Genesis 1:27; Isaiah 62:5; Psalms 103:8-10; Zephaniah 3:17 The LORD your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.

    A brick and a block were walking down a road when a piece of concrete jumped up and made a funny face, screamed and ran off. The brick asked the block, “what’s up with him?” The block replied, don’t pay him no mind, he is a “cycle path.”

    Adoration Of God Alone

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jul 30, 2020
     | 4,793 views

    The words adore and adoration have been trivialized over the past few decades. Do we worship and adore the God of Heaven and earth alone or are others drawing our worship-attention away to places it does not belong?

    Adoration of God Alone Today we will be reading from 1 Chronicles 29:10-13 Adoration. I don’t know if you realized this but every song we sang this morning contained the word “adore” or “adoration”. “Father, I adore You … Jesus, I adore You … Spirit, I adore You…” “Holy, holy, holy!

    Walk With Awareness

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 23, 2025
     | 557 views

    Those who walk in love, in righteousness, and in the light are to walk in awareness of the day. This involves not only recognizing the great lostness and depravity of our day but responding to these pressing needs in a way that honors the Lord and impacts our culture.

    Walk with Awareness Ephesians 5:15-21 We have discussed much in recent weeks. Paul admonished the church to walk in Love. Our walk and witness are to reflect the love of Christ – the sacrificial love we have received. We are to walk in Righteousness. The world at large lives to please the flesh, ...read more
