    To love your spouse is not going to be easy, because of so many reasons, but because God is love and He did everything to love us, we have to love our spouse.

    LOVE INDEED Valentine Message 2025 I John 4:7-21 (Weymouth New Testament WNT) Dear friends, let us love one another; for love has its origin in God, and every one who loves has become a child of God and is beginning to know God. 8 He who is destitute of love has never had any knowledge of God; ...read more

    You must not be called ’Teacher,’ because you are all equal and have only one Teacher. And you must not call anyone here on earth ’Father,’ because you have only the one Father in heaven. Nor should you be called ’Leader,’ because your one and only leader

    “Call no man ‘Father’” says Jesus. That’s part of our reading today from Matthew 23. Jesus says, “call no man ‘Father’”. What’s that doing here? And I don’t just mean what’s it doing here as this week’s reading. I mean, what’s it doing in the Bible? Since the (not so recent) publication of “The ...read more

    Serving The Lord With All Your Heart

    based on 2 ratings
     | 65,504 views

    Brethren I believe there is a lot to serve God for, not because of what He has done for us but because of Who He is. Our God deserve an outstanding service from us because He is the best employer and He owns the best organisation you can ever work for in the world.

    The book of Romans 12:11 analysed what it means to serve God with all our heart. It basically means to be fully devoted to God. It means to show enthusiasm in the things of God and be on fire for Him. I believe having a fully devoted heart is one of the characters we need to possess as a Christian. ...read more

    Most believers are ill-equipped to deal with members of false groups, not because they don’t know enough about CULTS, but because they don’t know their OWN BELIEFS well enough.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,103 views

    Bible believers are sometimes criticized because they believe in heaven instead of facing the real world. The truth is the opposite. Heaven is more real than this present life because it is permanent and this life is temporary.

    Revelation 22:6-9 Purpose: To challenge believers to stay focused on God. Aim: I want the listener to worship God intently. INTRODUCTION: How can we be content in a world where there is so much suffering and pain, especially when it looks like it's only going to get worse? Even if the world ...read more
