    We live in a world that prompts us to be self-centered and individualistic. What does God expect of us? This sermon will teach us about giving the way that is pleasing to God.

    Jesus said 'I am the Good Shepherd.' This is one of Jesus' most famous descriptions of himself. It gives us a lot of encouragement. But there are some things he calls us to do: follow, listen and flee.

    How to live in an anxious world and yet have peace and joy in life? There are hundreds of reasons to be afraid. But only one reason not to be afraid that is our faith in God and our Lord Jesus Christ. There are two kinds of fear! One is Divine and the other is demonic!

    Fear is a painful emotion or passion caused by an expectation of evil or suspicion of impending danger. Fear manifests itself in many ways. Some of the more serious ways include panic attacks, which are defined as “sudden, brief episodes of intense fear”, and phobias, which are defined as ...read more
