    On the Road to Damascus, Saul was forever changed

    Acts 9:1-20 Meanwhile Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any who belonged to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. Now as he was ...read more

    Jesus is given many titles in the Word. Perhaps none is as endearing as Emmanuel. It speaks of his constant, continual presence in our lives. May you be encouraged as we think upon these things.

    Matt 1:22-23 Immanuel, God is with us! Jesus has many titles and names assigned to Him. Each brings out a different facet of his beauty, majesty and grace, And gives us insight into His redemptive work His name Jesus means Saviour. The angel said in Matthew 1...you will call his name Jesus for ...read more

    A study in the book of Psalms 15: 1 - 5

    Psalm 15: 1 – 5 Using the flipside of scripture 1 LORD, who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy hill? 2 He who walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart; 3 He who does not backbite with his tongue, nor does evil to his neighbor, nor does he ...read more

    Declarations That Defeat Us

    based on 1 rating
     | 19,602 views

    Far too many Christians are defeating themselves. And they’re doing it with words. This message looks at Numbers 13 and 14, a passage about the spies sent to verify what God said about the Promised Land.

    Are we ready to get into the Word? If you have markers, put one in Deuteronomy 1 and in Hebrews 3. We’re going to open tonight in Numbers 13. The greatest struggle for most Christians is their declarations. Tonight, we’re going to talk about “Declarations That Defeat Us.” We’re going to look at a ...read more

    On the Mount of Transfiguration Peter said "It is good for us to be here". He misunderstood, but he was so right!

    It Is Good For Us To Be Here Matthew 17:1-8 Introduction Long ago David rejoiced to worship God. “I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord. (Psalm 122:1, KJV).

    God Uses The Unexpected

     | 6,808 views

    Many times those who are underestimated and considered failures go on to accomplish great things in society. The same principle is true in the kingdom. The Lord oftentimes uses people who are rejected to bring glory to His name.

    Once we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, and as we come to know the Lord by spending time with Him, we will reach a point in our life where our love will overflow in a desire for service. It’s at this place that many believers come to a screeching halt. They look at themselves ...read more

    Are You Useful To God? Series

     | 9,171 views

    God does not want believers to isolate or insulate themselves from the world and those who are lost. Like salt, Christians are called to make the world tastier; and like light, believers will shine the brightest only in the darkest places.

    Are you useful to God, or have you made yourself useless? When we come to know Jesus Christ, we are transformed into a holy instrument to be used by the Lord. We all have a purpose, but some of us choose to make ourselves useless by not allowing the Lord to touch us with His hand. To put it ...read more

    Give Us A King

    This passage shares the account of a church that is looking at what the church down the road is doing. The pastor (Samuel) tries to lead this church (Israel) according to God’s will, but the congregation won’t heed his counsel.

    As we look at this chapter of 1 Samuel today, there unfolds a scene that can be applied to discussing the goal of churches today. What is the vision of some churches? Do churches think in a Christ-centered manner, or do they think in a worldly manner? What I mean is this: Are churches today ...read more

    Revive Us Again!

    Our world is a mess...and human weapons don't work on supernatural problems. The problem is sin...and the answer is Jesus. We need revival.

    REVIVE US AGAIN! Talk for a moment about what "revival" isn't: A crowd doesn't mean a church is experiencing revival. Human charisma can attract a crowd. It's not something we can "schedule" or "produce" 1. We Need Revival Revival: restoration to ...read more

    Jesus Comes To Us

     | 3,514 views

    In the familiar story of Jesus walking on the water, we find good news in the fact that it is Jesus who is the key actor and Lord of all.

    Psychologists tell us that when we are presented with an event that is perceived as stressful or frightening, we tend to behave in one of two ways—fight or flight. That means that we either tend to gird our loins (to use a Biblical phrase), stare down, and attack that which is scaring us OR we run ...read more

    The book of Revelation is wildly misunderstood.

    Revelation 1 God Revealed to Us August 16, 2020 The book of Revelation is wildly misunderstood. Common misunderstandings: 1. It’s a secret code about the end times. 2. It’s complicated, so only Bible experts should read it. The book of Revelation is a gift to us, pulling us into a world of sky ...read more

    This is the Fifth Part of the Lord's Prayer (Matt 6:13a)

    Today we'll continue our sermon series on the Lord's Prayer. Let's read Matt 6:13, "Lead us not into temptation." Compared to the previous requests, this request is the most confusing prayer. Why should we ask our heavenly Father not to lead us into temptation? Doesn't ...read more

    Use Your Weapon

    The moment you give your life to jesus you are not just saying " yes Lord"  you are literarily saying  let the battle begin.The battle we are in today is  not the battle of physical confrontation but a spiritual warfare that needs spiritual weapons.

    I believe some of us will be wondering why we need to use a weapon when  we are not a soldier. But we need to remember that we are soldiers in christ.  2 Corinth 10:4 says: "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds" I  realised ...read more
