Compassion & Understanding Of The Lord Heals The Canaanite Woman’s Daughter

Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 14, 2024

Because we harbour differences, misunderstandings, resentments, and issues that we must sort out with the Lord, he may growl at us when we ask for a favour. But if our faith in God remains unshaken, the Lord will ensure that God will answer our cries for help.

Today, I want to hear God speaking to us through the story of Jesus healing the Canaanite woman’s daughter, who was tormented by a demon. For many reasons, this is a unique and fascinating story. For starters, this story, which is placed in the region of Tyre and Sidon, is among the two stories ...read more

This Is How I Fight My Battles!

Contributed by Delray Lentz on Dec 17, 2024

Last week I challenged you to consider how you prepare yourself for worship before you enter the Lord’s house and His presence. Crystal closed out the message with a prayer that we worship everyday, not just on Sunday’s!

Today’s word is about worship. I looked back at all my sermons since 2020 and strangely enough, not a single one was on the topic of worship. So I am rectifying that today! The title of today’s message is “This is how I fight my battles”. We will examine 4 passages, 3 of which are centered around ...read more

Any Old Bush Will Do

Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 29, 2025

The bush God chose on Horeb was a worthless, fruitless bush that only stuck you with a thorn if you got close, yet God used it (by His holy presence) to deliver Israel and reveal His power to the world! If He can use that, He can use us!

ANY OLD BUSH WILL DO Ex. 3:1-10 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. President Bush was going through an airport when he saw a man who looked like Moses. He asked him, "Are you Moses?" The man acted as if he didn't hear. 2. He asked him again, "Are you Moses?" The man refused to look ...read more

The Hidden Power Of Prayer

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 28, 2025

In the story of Cornelius is hidden a great truth about prayer: repeated prayers gain a weight of prayer which increase their potency. Persistent prayer becomes very visible before God, hastening His action.

Love Does Not Seek Its Own

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Dec 9, 2025

These days, a lot of people are demanding their “rights” and live in such a way as to trample the rights of others. There are those who are always thinking of what life owes them. But there are others who never forget what they owe to life.

Apologetics

Contributed by Delray Lentz on Dec 22, 2025

Finally got a word Wednesday, for today’s message. I truly don’t stress about a lot of things. I get aggravated, but stress is not part of my daily diet.

So, after getting the word “apologetics”, I thought I was on my way! I thought I knew what the message was. You’ve heard me say before that I thought God was taking me in on direction on a sermon, but He was actually taking me in a completely different direction. I’ll explain a bit more about ...read more

Do You Listen From God?

Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Jan 16, 2026

The Bible starts with a speaking God. The shapeless, hopeless, dark earth became live, beautiful and fruitful even the Holy God could say, it was good!. When someone responds to God in faith and in obedience supernatural things would happen!. Truly a transformation takes place!

From the very first page of the Scriptures, we learn that our God is a God who speaks. God’s speech sets him apart from false idol gods who have a mouth but cannot speak. Psalms 115:3-7 Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him. But their idols are silver and gold, made by human hands. ...read more

In the city of God there is identity and there is purpose. Each one of God’s people matters, and each one of God’s people belongs. And the city of God is ours to build, if we commit ourselves to the task.

In preaching class they taught us to know our congregations, so speak to their concerns. So as I was preparing this sermon, I asked myself “What do I know about the inner city?
