Last week was very cool. So many people coming to the altar to pray for our church, some giving their life to Jesus, it was just an amazing moment for our church.

Grab Hold Of The Authority And Power Of God

Contributed by James May on Aug 31, 2022

We must have God's authority and power with us if we are to fight the spiritual warfare in these last hours. We need faith to reach out and take hold of God's promises like the Woman with the issue of blood who took hold of the hem of his garment.

I won’t go into the history of the land of the Gadarenes except to say that many of those who lived there ...read more

Daughter Of The Most High

Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Jan 7, 2026

Like the sandalwood tree that imparts its fragrance to the axe that cuts it, a woman can become a blessing to many (even to the one who harms her) through what she has learnt of God in her sorrows!

The beautiful title a woman can have at any time of her life is ‘daughter’. She can rise up to any level with any impressive titles in her whole life. But ‘daughter’ is the title that assures her security, comfort, hope and belonging. When you are confident that you are not only called but are ...read more
