The Promise Of Fruit

Contributed by Evie Megginson on Apr 17, 2001

This is a promise of encouragement to every preacher, to every teacher, to every worker to keep casting their bread on the water, for in due season they will reap.

THE PROMISE OF FRUIT Ecclesiastes 11:1 Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days As we read this verse, it seems at first, it do not make sense.

Our King Jesus’ Last Supper Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Apr 9, 2018

Jesus deliberately organises the last supper so there won’t be interruptions. Jesus uses the bread and wine to point to a future relationship; He uses an argument to teach humble servant hood; and He gives encouragement so our faith may not fail.

Message Luke 22:7-38 Our King Jesus’ Last Supper If you knew that your meal tonight was going to be your last meal, what would you do? What setting would you choose? Who would you invite? What would you eat? I suspect a lot of us would choose a really lovely setting, perhaps over-looking the ...read more

Elijah's Crisis

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Dec 1, 2020

The pandemic seems to go on forever. Instead of getting better, Covid is getting worse. Many are becoming discouraged and depressed because of lockdowns and other guidelines that give us limited mobility.

They're not fancy or professional quality, and for this sermon there were only as small number of slides (most of which are maps), but if you're interested in having the PowerPoint file I ...read more

God So Loved Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Jan 8, 2019

God so loved the world doesn’t refer to the whole mass as one entity but as individual persons by persons, God’s love is for me, for you as individuals not as one world. Every one, every individual is so important and so precious in the sight of God.

A Wife For Isaac (Genesis 24)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jul 3, 2024

How did it happen that the Lord provided a distant believing wife for Isaac, rather than a neighboring pagan wife? Let's look at Genesis 24.

How would we find a marriage partner? Would we choose a pagan or unbeliever who is close by or seek a fellow believer even if they come from far away? Would we follow a believing parent’s advice or ignore their wisdom and make our own choice? Do we trust that God can also provide for us? Let’s ...read more
