    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Mar 5, 2012
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,658 views

    God responds to faith. Watch where you place your faith. The emphasis is not on the size of faith but the placement of your faith. Watch the motivation of your heart.

    Mark 9:14-29 Having the Faith of a Mustard Seed 4 Mar 2012 1743 Read also Matthew’s account: Matt 17:14-21 A young boy was tormented by a demon. He could not control himself, throwing himself into the fire or water to kill himself. • His father was at a lost what to do, and ...read more

    Life's Most Important Question

     | 5,770 views

    When the ladies came to the empty tomb, the angel said, "You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified." This statement begs us to answer this question, "Who or what is it that you seek?"

    Life’s Most Important Question Mark 16:1-8 • To read about the resurrection of Jesus is – well – just plain exciting. Jesus’ heart stopped bleeding, His blood stopped flowing, His human brain stopped working, & He was buried for THREE DAYS before HE CAME BACK TO LIFE ...read more

    Going For Life Change

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Oct 13, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,379 views

    The Pharisees did not experience life change because they had a different belief. Don't replace the relationship with a religion. Don't make the outward more important than the inward.

    RECAP – John 20:24-28. We saw last week how Thomas finally saw Jesus alive and uttered the most profound statement of faith – “My Lord and My God!” (1) LET GO of our Agenda – don’t cling on to the demands we set. (2) CHOOSE to have faith - faith is a choice ...read more

    Refocusing!

    Contributed by Victor Ramlall on Jan 28, 2013
    based on 3 ratings
     | 9,493 views

    It's essential in every situation and circumstance to deliberately refocus our attention solely on God who is able to keep us from falling and cause us to triumph in Christ.

    Many times we become blindsided. We are caught without warning. We've been exposed to the unexpected ugliness of humanity which we did not care to see. We have uncertainty, doubts and fears. Many times we have wavered and slowed down and come to a standstill. We have looked around in uncertainty ...read more

    We serve God's purpose in our generation and we do that with righteousness and the fear of God.

    based on 1 rating
     | 8,503 views

    The incident with the snake on the pole in the wilderness is one of the strangest occurrences in scripture. This sermon looks at how it is part of God's on-going covenant keeping.

    I hate snakes. End of story. There’s only one good type of snake in my book—a dead one! I can see a snake crawling on the ground and immediately it makes my skin crawl…it feels like the snake is crawling all over me. Yes, I know. It’s an irrational thing, and no, I don’t know where it comes ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 13,961 views

    Jesus says we are the salt of the earth and light of the world. We have an identity that cannot be ignored, and an influence that cannot be neglected. We need to be intentional about it. The Lord expects us to be salt and light for our generation.

    Who do you think you are? • You are an ambassador of Christ, You are God’s masterpiece, and you are an overcomer, through Christ who loves you. • Today, we want to hear what Jesus says in Matt 5:13-16.

     | 20,969 views

    The prayer that moves God is one that seeks to honour His Name, fulfils His promises and bless His people.

    Can you move God? Can you move God to do something? • If your answer is no, then prayer makes no sense to you. It will not change a thing. It is pointless to pray. • Yet God expects man to pray. Jesus calls us to pray. The Bible says we do not have because we did not ...read more

    Today we are going to look at another shelter of faith which can help withstand all calamities of life leading a Christian to move forward in God’s will despite the extremity of an existential life.

    Faith and Evidence Joshua 2:8-18 Introduction: This month we focus on the theme, “Shelters of faith”. Experientially it means that faith needs to be sheltered, faith needs to come under the banner of a refuge - so to speak. Faith at times can become so fragile and vulnerable to the tensions and ...read more

    The answers that God will give to us, will be so astounding that it will be way beyond our human thinking and understanding. Irrespective of the kind of situations that we are challenged with, if the Lord is with us, we can come out victorious.

I will rescue them and honor them.” (GNB) As we continue our study on Psalm 91, we will meditate on verse 15 in its entirety and thereby try to comprehend all that ...read more

    Give God What Is His (October 22, 2017).

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020
     | 5,825 views

    Why were the Pharisees wanting to try to trick Jesus? The reason why they wanted to try and trick Jesus was because Jesus’s authority rivaled their own! In trying to force Jesus to choose a side, they hoped to get Jesus to incriminate Himself.

    GIVE GOD WHAT IS HIS Text: Matthew 22:15 - 22 How many times have you heard someone say something like, “I only have to do two things, pay taxes and die”? Now they even have a new tax added on which is called by some a “death tax” which means that they tax the estate that is on by a ...read more
