    Don't go ahead of God. Instead, wait on Him

    An article in Time.com a few years ago noted that ketchup flows out of a glass bottle at a rate of .028 miles per hour.

     | 18,487 views

    Just as the potter molds and shapes the clay into what it ought to be, our heavenly Father molds and shapes us into what we ought to be. He uses our situations and our circumstances to make us more and more into the image of Jesus Christ.

    What Type of Clay Are You Jeremiah 18:1-12  Intro:  I was reading about a teenager named Ron who came from a broken home. When he was 15, he said something terrible to his dad and he ran away. He got into drinking and drugs and partying. But one day, he met someone who told him ...read more

    Righteous Joseph Series

    Contributed by Shine Thomas on Dec 1, 2023
     | 1,544 views

    People often neglect righteous Joseph while focussing on the theme of Christmas. But do you know there is a man who stands silently next to the manger in the nativity scene? He is not even given a single line to speak! Then he disappears completely from history after the teenage years of Jesus.

    INTRODUCTION There is a story of courage that took place in the very first Christmas. It is about righteous Joseph. But it is a story we often miss because people’s Christmas focus is mostly around a young mother Mary and her son, Jesus. People often neglect righteous Joseph while focussing on the ...read more

    Three schemes are examined to see Satan’s division and hurt in the human race. The wide net of PLEASURE is first; followed by the corruption of CHRISTMAS and EASTER; followed by what FEMINISM is doing to our world. These might be hot issues but Satan has created the trouble to damn people

    WE ARE NOT IGNORANT OF SATAN’S DEVICES OR SCHEMES – PART 9 We continue researching the various schemes Satan uses to ensnare, deceive and ruin humanity.

     | 2,815 views

    The Grinch was right, Christmas is not only about presents, but also about God’s gift of His son bringing, light, life and joy into the world. Today, I want to talk about the most hateful character of the Christmas story. Let’s look at Christmas from a different viewpoint.

    Sermon: The Most Hateful Character in the Christmas Story Scripture Lesson: Matthew 2:1-12."Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the reign of King Herod.

    As Christians, we should choose true friends wisely, recognizing the characteristics of fake friends, and seek God's wisdom to discern the difference between the two.

    Good morning, church family! Today, we're going to talk about a topic that hits close to home for all of us – friendship. We all know the saying, "You are the company you keep," and the Bible has a lot to say about the importance of choosing our friends wisely. Our focus today will be ...read more

    Only The Lamb Is Worthy

    A scroll sealed with seven seals is in the hand of the One on the throne, and no one is found worthy to open it or even look at it—until the Lion of the tribe of Judah appears. But when John looks, he sees not a lion but a Lamb that appears slain.

    Only the Lamb is Worthy Revelation 5:1-10 I think that as we begin looking at our text today in Revelation 5:1-10, it would help us to understand something of the background that led up to this point in John's vision. John's Revelation of Jesus Christ begins with a powerful vision of the ...read more

    What is your response to the Potter today? Are you yielding all of your rights to Him so He can transform you according to His perfect plan, process and power?

    Quote: Transformation is rooted in the Greek word, metamorphisis. A complete change from one form to another form happens when when a caterpillar turns in to a beautiful butterfly. That is what God wants us to experience as we speak the truth in love out of obedience and grow up in all aspects into ...read more
