    A very important directive is found in Proverbs which has whole-life importance: "Above all else, guard your heart, for out of it spring the issues of life." ~ Proverbs 4:23

    Kneel Down Rather Than Buckling Down…. Series

     | 4,951 views

    We need God’s help not only on a daily basis but on a minute to minute basis. I know this by experience. I came across a little prayer in a Christian magazine, headed: "A Morning Prayer for Help" .

    Kneel down rather than buckling down…. Life of Jacob –Part 3 Genesis 32:10 “I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies and of all the truth which you have shown Your servant….” Worry will make you old; stress will kill you; prayer will set you free! We need ...read more

    Highlight the power of faith, the strength of obedience, and the reward of loyalty to God, even in the face of dire consequences.

    Good morning, church family! Today we're diving headfirst into the fiery furnace, figuratively of course, as we explore the inspiring story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego from Daniel 3:8-25. This passage is a powerful testament to the power of faith, the strength of obedience, and the reward of ...read more

    Life Is Worth Living

     | 18,413 views

    As we remember the birth of Christ and the significance of His prophetic names, It is also very empowering to realise the awesome power of His resurrection as this gives us the assurance that life is worth living . And because Jesus lives, we can face tomorrow.

    There are times in life when we feel life is not worth living because we are faced with one hopeless situation or the other. 1 Sam 30:3-20 described how David felt when he lost his possessions to the enemy. The bible says David and his men wept until they have no more strength to weep because the ...read more

    A Life Unwasted

     | 1,394 views

    When human beings ignore the law of God, set up for our benefit, laid down so that human families and societies will be places to grow and prosper, everything is constantly on the verge of utter disorder.

    A Life Unwasted The other evening I was watching an old movie, and by that I mean from the eighties of the last century. It wasn’t particularly good, but it dramatized a lot about the culture of Washington, DC residents living at the top of the socio-economic heap at the time. One of the ...read more

    Many people want to see changes taking place in their lives. The usual prescription given today is, "Just try harder!" But that doesn’t produce true, genuine, lasting life-transformation. In James 4:6-10 James teaches how God changes a person.

    Scripture I once read a Peanuts comic strip where Lucy told Charlie Brown that she would hold the football for him to kick. But when he ran up to kick the ball, she pulled it away. Charlie Brown went flying through the air and fell flat on his back. Well, one day Lucy went up to Charlie Brown and ...read more

    This is the final message in a series that looks at Jesus’ final few days leading up to his crucifixion. This was the Easter Sunday morning message that declares the hope that we have because of the cross.

    INTRODUCTION As many of us have heard, cartoonist Johnny Hart has come under a great deal of criticism for his B.C. comic strip - specifically for the strip he created for today, Easter Sunday. It depicts a Jewish menorah being transformed into a Christian cross as Jesus the last words of Jesus ...read more

    In 1967, she prayed this prayer, “Father, I give my life to You. Whatever you ask of me, I accept. Just teach me to follow Jesus and to love as He loves.” The fire quickly spread, even to other Christian denominations.

    On Tesco's brand of Tiramisu dessert, printed on the bottom of the box, it says, “DO NOT TURN UPSIDE DOWN.”1—(too late!) I want to consider how the Holy Spirit has a way of turning things upside down. Like in the Acts of the Apostles in our First Reading, the devout Jews from every nation ...read more

    What gives you hope when you have problems?

    Good morning everyone. Have you ever wished that you were better at something? Maybe you see someone else with athletic ability - the way that person moves athletically, you wish you could do that.

     | 4,040 views

    The world tells us they don't want us "rocking the boat," but that's exactly what they need. The success of the Early Church was that they upset the natural order. Only if people are exposed to Jesus will they be saved. We must make that happen!

    "SIT DOWN! YOU’RE ROCKING THE BOAT!" INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A young man went fishing with his father and a friend in an open boat. He didn’t have his sea-legs yet. He’d get up and try to walk. He had poor balance, so the boat would see-saw violently. (The boat didn’t have good ...read more

    When the calendar turns to a new year, many of us take the time to reflect on the past. We think about the good times and the difficult times we have been through. We think about opportunities we might have missed or things we might have done better. That

    Here we are at the beginning of a new year. At the Watchnight service, we talked a little bit about resolutions. I don’t know whether you make resolutions or not, but what I do know is that you have probably done some reflecting on the past year. That what we do when the calendar turns. ...read more
