    Crown Him with Many Crowns --John 18:33-38 “Happy New Year!” Before you say, “That’s a little premature,” let me explain. Next Sunday is the first Sunday in Advent, the beginning of the Church or Liturgical Year. Today is the last Sunday of the current Church Year, “Christ the King ...read more

    Why Won’t You, Let Jesus Bless You?

    It almost sounds to good to be true, how much God wants to bless His people. But unlike that saying in the world goes, if its to good to be true, it probably is. Its not with God, He truly loves to bless His children.

    Why won’t you let Jesus Bless You? When Jesus is a big part of your life, you can’t help but be Blessed. The longer you serve Him, the more you realize, He really does know, what He’s doing. It almost sounds to good to be true, how much God wants to bless us. But unlike that saying in the world ...read more

    When ‘bumped’ or jolted or walloped, the content of who we are is laid bare.

    Introduction Every story has its bad ‘guy’ it seems. Whether its Cinderella’s evil stepmother, Snow White’s jealous queen or 101 Dalmatians ‘Cruella De Vil’, the evil one plays a part that amplifies the drama. However, as we have discovered, the trend in these classics seem to be a bad ‘gal’! ...read more

    Doing Good

    Galatians has a word or two on good deeds that sound a lot like the message of James. While James doesn't focus on the Spirit, and Paul centers there, the echoes of the faith are heard in both. It is impressive to note the parallels.

    Last week we finished our study in the book of James. James was all about words and works of the faithful Christian. Our walk and our talk express our faith and our relationship with God. Just as faith without works is dead, James 2:26, James makes it clear that claiming to be religious without ...read more

    Parable of the Talents Becoming a Maximum Christian All Gods gifts, indeed all goodness and love we receive, are for us to develop to the maximum and so provide for increase in God’s Kingdom. That’s the message I would leave with you today. Become a “maximalist,” not a minimalist to prepare ...read more

    Jewish people wore/wear the tefillin (or phylacteries) to remind them of their relationship to God. There are lessons from the tefillin for Christians as well.

The Tefillin were rare ans precious commodities in the camps. Mendel’s Tefillin were confiscated as soon as he arrived at Auschwitz. Even in ...read more

    During the lockdown we have realised how many are real friends, how many are fake friends, how many have called us often enquiring about our families, health, jobs, and how many were really cared and supported in their difficulties and pains during this pandemic, COVID-19.

    Does Time Change The Intent Of God's Will?

    Contributed by Bryan Beverly on Nov 3, 2014
     | 6,181 views

    This message is designed to help us to consider: (1) whether ‘the spirit of the law’ endures beyond ‘the letter of the law’ and (2) whether God’s silence is a synonym of His absence or His affirmation.

    The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2Speak to the people of Israel and say to them: I am the Lord your God. 3You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you lived, and you shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, to which I am bringing you.
