Arise And Shine

Contributed by Vini Charles on Jun 20, 2021

Make yourself a new soul, change your hearts and don't keep grudges in your heart, stop blaspheming and be radiant in Lord. Now it is not the time to preach gospel but now it is time to get up and arise.

Isaiah - 60:1  Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. 60:2  For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. ...read more

Part 2: Fear Not Series

Contributed by Pastor Randall Timblin on Nov 1, 2019

What are you afraid of? Is it the dark? Is it strangers? How about the fear of heights or closed spaces? Many of us have these fears and have a hard time getting over them.

I guess it wouldn’t help if I told you that they are a mere figment of your imagination? There is a story about a tight-rope walker. He was performing in the local circus in the big-tent. He was more than 50 feet in the air and had no net. As he moved about there were oohs and ahhhs. After his ...read more

Amazed On A Mountain

Mountain Climbing Without A Veil Series

Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Feb 22, 2020

My friend Nigel (who is not a Christian) once said that that when Christians speak about God, he can feel like a primitive tribesman who suddenly encounters New York City - he just can’t get his head around it. If we want to begin to get our head around God, what one thing should we do more of?

Moses climbs up Mount Sinai - up THAT mountain- and disappears into the cloud at the top, the cloud that somehow represents the presence of God. There he stays for forty days in that haze, time apart in the presence of God receiving from God the ten commandments and other laws and teachings for ...read more

The Transfiguration

Contributed by Fr. Damien Evangelista on Mar 31, 2020

The Cross and the Resurrection are inseperable

The season of Lent stresses a SOMBER mood by having us focus more on fasting and penance. On the other hand, the Gospel tells us about Jesus' Transfiguration [T], where the Lord is seen in full splendor, which seems to be more appropriate for the Easter season. Having the story of the [T] ...read more

The Mountain Top Experience Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 25, 2020

Why did Jesus lead Peter, James and John up on the Mountain? And why would God make it so they could see Moses and Elijah speaking with Christ that day?

The story in our text today is recorded in Matthew, Mark and Luke and I believe it’s the source of the phrase “A Mountain Top Experience.

The Sacrifices God Is Pleased With Series

Contributed by Isaiah Banjo on Nov 30, 2020

It is “through Jesus” that your sacrifices can be acceptable. Anything short of that is totally unacceptable. The only person God told that he is pleased with was Jesus. When a man does not listen to Jesus, such a man cannot please God.

Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of Praise – the fruit of lips that confess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices, God is pleased. (NIV) Hebrews 13:15-16 Quite a lot to identify in this scripture. 1. The ...read more
