     | 1,965 views

    In this portion of Scripture, we have the opportunity to travel with Paul while he is at Ephesus.

    Some of the places that Paul visited would not have impressed us, but we can see from these verses that God used Paul in a great way. This is the place Paul wanted to visit on his second missionary journey, and God forbid him to come, but now, God not only allowed him to come, but God gave Paul an ...read more

    God sees our character long before we have an opportunity to be faithful.

    A. INTRODUCTION 1. Favor is, Hebrew SA AH “to look intently, or to look with interest or regard.” Enoch was first. “By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death … he (found favor) pleased God” (Hebrews 11:5). 2. Greek: Dektos, “to be acceptable, to welcome.” “Now is the time of ...read more

    Twentieth Sunday In Ordinary Time- Year C-- Fire

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Aug 15, 2025
     | 124 views

    Fire, judgment, separation, crisis, – can bring a new opportunity for growth in faith.

    Lodgepole pinecones are very compact, and they will only open to disperse their seeds under intense heat, as in a forest fire. We hear a similar idea today in our Gospel that fire means judgment, which results in separation, creating a crisis, but which also means opportunity. So, fire, ...read more

    Let us pray, Almighty and Gracious Father, You who are ancient of days, You who have no beginning nor ending, You who crafted the world out from your words “Let there be” and it was, You who crafted humanity and shaped us in your own image. We who are weak and frail come to this place and invoke ...read more

    It would not be an exaggeration, but an understatement to say God has already prearranged 1,000’s of events, waiting to happen in your life to increase you, to promote you and to bless you.

    I have a plan! Illus. by Christian Cheong A famous British writer George Bernard Shaw once visited a sculptor Sir Jacob Epstein at his studio. The visitor noticed a huge block of stone standing in one corner and asked what it was for. "I don’t know yet. I’m still making plans." Shaw ...read more

    Christians have an example of greatness and a strategy to reach that point in life. If you want to be great, follow the words of our Lord and serve with humility.

    Jesus got them together to settle things down. “You’ve observed how godless rulers throw their weight around,” he said, “and when people get a little power how quickly it goes to their heads. It’s not going to be that way with you. Whoever wants to be great must become a servant. Whoever wants to ...read more

     | 12,897 views

    After many years of waiting and character preparation, God has finally promoted Joseph from the Dungeon to the Palace. In the same manner, we have to be ready when the Lord will promote us. There are three important things we need to remember.

    FROM THE DUNGEON TO THE PALACE We have been talking about the life of Joseph. Today, we will look at his promotion to be the second highest in the land. The last time we saw Joseph, he was languishing in an Egyptian prison. He was in prison for doing the right thing and honoring God in His ...read more

    Today we will talk about how God has designed each of us in our own unique way. We will discover that sometimes we have to search for purpose before we can live it and we will talk about “Playing in the Sand”.

    ¥ I use everyday life illustrations because I want us to understand that God is trying to communicate with us everyday! There is a message from God in almost everything that we see, touch, taste, smell or feel. God is everywhere just waiting for His creation to cry out for its Creator! Psalms 19:1 ...read more

    How we often miss the point arguing over what isn't the main thing.

    Yesterday at church we sang Indescribably by Chris Tomlin (check out this video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmTxZAl7ceU&feature=fvsr ).
