    BLESSED ARE THE MEEK Matthew 5:5 Once again we have a beatitude that is completely contrary to the thinking of the modern world. It is oppossed to everything which the natural man thinks. "Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth." World conquest, possession of the ...read more

  • Welcome Home

     | 12,530 views

    This sermon looks at the parable of the Prodigal Son, and explores the relationship between the father, the younger son, and the older son. The intertwined relationship of this family shows that love and respect should be the key values of our church.

    Lately I have been binge watching this new American TV series called “This is us”. It’s about a family with triplets and their intertwining stories with each other now, when the characters are grown up, but it constantly flashes back to their childhood times. It shows how their loving parents ...read more

    True faith is shown by obeying Jesus’ words, building our lives on His foundation so we stand firm through life’s storms.

    Friends, some of us walked in today with a smile on our face and a storm in our chest. The winds may not be rattling your windows, but they might be rattling your peace. A report you didn’t expect. A bill you can’t pay. A relationship you’re not sure will hold. Have you ever felt the floorboards of ...read more

    It is easy to want to give up and drop out of the running. God does not want us to become weary and lose heart. Brethren, We have come too far to turn back now. How are we to run the this race of life?

    KEEP ON RUNNING THE RACE Hebrews 12:1-4 The Bible is full of references to Sports. Warren Wiersbe said that if the Apostle Paul were alive today, he would read the sports page. He often talks about running in a race, the victor’s crown, even about boxing. The writer of Hebrews also used ...read more

    Hope for Those Who Sleep in Christ. Death for the believer is not an ending but a pause— until resurrection morning awakens every promise.

    There are few sounds on earth more sacred than quiet weeping at a graveside. A mother pressing a flower into the soil, a husband lingering after everyone else has gone, a child holding onto the edge of a coffin too big for her small hands. In moments like these, the air feels thinner—heaven seems ...read more
