    More people have succumbed to fear than to deadly diseases. Fear causes weakness, therefore when the Lord said "Fear not", He also said "I will strengthen you". If we need to overcome fear and lead a healthy life, we need to learn about this from God's Word.

    Overcoming Fear We read in Isaiah 41:10, “Fear not, for I am with you, be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Surely I will help you. I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” (TLV) There are two phrases in the above mentioned verse that I wish to highlight in this ...read more

    If you have faith in Christ, you already have every resource to be an overcomer. God doesn’t allow us to surrender to worldly pressure or to hide ourselves away. But He says that in Christ we can conquer and gain the victory. Who is it that will overcome and persevere? Only the one who believes!

    What we do today isn’t very exciting. For we’re just a small church in a big world. We’re reading an old book, and we’re talking about an old story. Yet a Christian has been given different eyes, and we look at things in a different way. Beneath the surface, God helps us to see things as they ...read more
