     | 2,047 views

    In Heaven, all preachers will be out of a job, but not praisers. Now, praise can change your focus, change your circumstances, change your enemies' position, and change those around you. Every Christian ought to be a Hallelujah from head to foot!

     | 1,404 views

    Let's take a look at how Jesus responded to the people's charge of Him being insane.

    Tonight’s passage is a difficult one to break down and try to explain.

     | 4,021 views

    The early church was dynamic and turned their world upside down because they possessed certain characteristics. If we want to see revival in our churches today, we too must follow their example.

    We have been considering God’s promise for His people from Act 11:21, “And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.”(KJV) We will consider in detail the life of the early church, and see what we ought to do, in order for the Lord to fulfil this ...read more

    The Genealogy of Jesus Christ establishes His identity as Messiah and shows God's prophecies being fulfilled. By them we see God's faithfulness, how God included people who were stigmatized, and how Jesus' life is grounded in historical reality.
