    The Gospel was spreading and people were trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation. Especially in Antioch, they needed encouragement and who better than Barnabas to fulfill that ministry!

Luke wrote these words under the Holy Spirit’s guidance about how things were beginning to change. ...read more

    Is The Lord Delayed In His Coming?

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Aug 6, 2018
     | 5,623 views

    There is a wrong way and a right way to look at the Lord’s apparent delay in coming again.

    Introduction Peter most likely wrote this, his second letter (2 Pet. 3:1 ) to the churches of Asia Minor (1 Pet. 1:1 ), from a Roman jail a short time before his martyrdom (some time during the period AD 64-67). If 1 Peter has as its main focus a defense against threats from outside the ...read more

    "I Will Never Leave You Nor Forsake You!”

    Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 10, 2019
     | 35,851 views

    We can be assured of God's provision and of His love because He promised with a five-fold negative that He would never leave us nor forsake us. Four different people in Scripture received this promise from God, so we can see God's faithfulness to them.

    As Christians, are we ready to face the trying times ahead? All Scripture quotes are from the NASB.

    We are looking at the Signs of Times. A person must be dumb, deaf, and blind, to miss the what is happening in today’s world, all around us. It was no different in Jesus’ day. The high and mighty religious officials were asking Jesus for sign and Jesus made this statement to the Pharisees and ...read more

    Funeral Sermon: Many people have a longing inside and life seems dissatisfying. They are actually searching for home. Our true home is in heaven; but until we reach heaven, Jesus is our home. He is also our guide leading us home.

    I was praying about what I should share today, and I was searching for something that would address a wide range of needs, for those who are Christians and those who aren’t; and the Lord led me to 2 Corinthians chapter 5. Let me assure you that Marshall was a Christian. He had a personal ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,005 views

    Easter: This message examines a common argument against the resurrection and looks at some simple proofs. We will come to realize that the resurrection did indeed happen, and that it is far from being a cunningly devised fable.

    I wish to begin our message with a quote. Virginia, minister once stated, “We have closed our minds to such trivial considerations as the question of the resurrection of Christ. If you fundamentalists wish to believe that nonsense, we have no objections, but we have more important things to ...read more

    The Via Dolorosa – The Universality Of Suffering (5/12) Series

    Contributed by Eduardo (Eddie) Fernandes on Jun 17, 2020
     | 3,939 views

    Suffering is universal. Everyone experiences it. None escape it. It is part and parcel of the human condition. Many Evangelicals love to focus on “health/wealth/blessings” forgetting to teach the other “side of the coin”. As such people are ill-equipped to deal with life’s many harsh blows.

    Message by Pr. Eddie Fernandes Introduction Hold On Video (lights off…video begins…video ends…lights on…Eddie & Marta on stage) Hold on!
