    Trust in Jesus; how far will your trust in Jesus Christ carry you in todays society? Will you be seen as a commited to discipleship, or like Judas--an uncommitted pretender?

    COUNTING THE COST Luke 14:25-35 Counting the cost of discipleship. That is something that we don’t like to think about too often. But, everything comes at a cost. For an athlete, they must decide early in life just how serious he/she wants to become in their sport and train accordingly. I ...read more

    Isaiah's Woes

    based on 20 ratings
     | 15,528 views

    In Isaiah 5, the prophet pronounces God’s coming judgment on a sinful society. Much of what Isaiah taught applies to the West today. We need to pray for forgiveness

    Isaiah 5:8-30 I think we might well call Isaiah’s fifth chapter the chapter of ’woes’! And for that reason we tend to skip it by. It’s all too judgmental and too depressing. We say we want something to cheer us on our way; we want something to lift our spirits. We don’t want all this judgemental ...read more

    Our society identifies with the expression "Live your life!". However, the message of Christ to his disciples is "Give your life!". (A contrast between heathen and Christian power)

It deals with the excellency of faith. We observe faith worshipping, walking, working, waiting, warring, and faith winning. We ...read more
