    Just wanted to open few things that Christians tend to forget

    1. Coming short of the grace of God. “See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.” Hebrews 12:14 NIV Bitterness is an infection in our affection for the Lord. In the bible we often see that the vineyard or grapes or ...read more

    It is remarkable that the LORD Himself should commit Himself to wash away our sins.

    A GLORIOUS FUTURE. Isaiah 4:2-6. ISAIAH 4:2. “In that day” is the same expression as is used in the preceding chapters (cf. Isaiah 2:11-12; Isaiah 2:17; Isaiah 2:20). There it speaks of the desperation of both men (cf. Isaiah 3:6-7), and women (cf. Isaiah 3:18; Isaiah 4:1) under the judgment of ...read more

    Jude now shares five analogies of what these false workers are like who sneak into the church. Hidden reefs, waterless clouds, twice-dead trees, raging waves, and wandering stars.

    Jude 1:12-13 - Blemish People “These are hidden reefs in your feasts of love. They feast with you without fear. They are shepherds feeding themselves. They are waterless clouds, swept along by winds. They are fruitless autumn trees, uprooted and twice dead. They are waves of the wild sea, casting ...read more

    This ongoing awareness and service, rather than anticipation of a specific future event, is the essence of spiritual alertness.

    In the pages of today's gospel, Jesus takes on the role of a sage advisor, instilling wisdom and motivation in his followers as he contemplates an imminent departure of uncertain duration. His counsel revolves around the imperative of spiritual vigilance—an awakening from the slumber of routine ...read more

    It is an opportunity to rediscover our absolute dependence on God, acknowledging that our hearts are restless until they find rest in Him.

    In the poignant narrative of today's gospel, we find ourselves in the presence of John the Baptist, standing resolute in the vast expanse of the desert.

    "From the beginning it was not so." Matthew 19:8.

    MARRIAGE, DIVORCE, AND CELIBACY. Matthew 19:1-12. The Pharisees’ question about divorce was cynical in that it, like many of their questions addressed to Jesus, was asked with the intention of “tempting” Jesus into saying something that would cause offence (MATTHEW 19:3). I assert this on two ...read more

    Abiding in the Presence of God.

    OUR REFUGE IS THE LORD. Psalm 91:1-12. The opening verse of this Psalm seems to state the obvious: “those who take their shelter under the Most High are sheltered by the shadow of the Almighty” (PSALM 91:1).

    This sermon encourages believers to stand firm in faith, armed with God's truth, and prepared for spiritual warfare, to overcome life's adversities and proclaim victory.

    Beloved brothers and sisters, I stand before you today, not as a messenger of despair, but as a beacon of hope.
