    You don’t have to live a life of failure. That is God’s promise to those who have a personal relationship with Him in Jesus Christ.

    Life is like a battlefield. It is filled with wars that we must conquer. Not only we have to battle the wars around us, but we also have to overcome the battle within us. All of us desire to win over them. Thus, we pursue those things and give everything we have to those that can ensure us victory. ...read more

    God Of 2nd Chances

    Our sins can never be greater than the grace of God. Our failure can never be greater than the love of God. Our failure in the past does not determine what we will become in the future.

    God of 2nd Chances Intro: A little boy went out to the ball field by himself, wearing his baseball cap and carrying a bat and ball. In his eye was the look of steely determination. He was so full of confidence that he put his bat on his shoulder, tossed the ball into the air, and said, ...read more

    Church, when we hear David, most of us think “David and Goliath.” It’s the classic underdog story. But here’s the truth: David himself never bragged about killing Goliath. That was recorded by Samuel.

    Introduction Church, when we hear David, most of us think “David and Goliath.” It’s the classic underdog story. But here’s the truth: David himself never bragged about killing Goliath. That was recorded by Samuel. Why? Because David didn’t see that as his greatest story of faith. His true testimony ...read more

    What enables faith to overcome fear? Grace!

    Have you ever noticed how fearless kids are? They’ll do things that right-minded adults won’t even consider. When I was a boy, one of our family traditions was to go to the Canadian National Exhibition. Summer wasn’t summer unless we made our annual pilgrimage to the CNE. This ...read more

    Like Noah I would like to hear the voice of God say “come into the ark” where you’ll be safe. Instead, often He is saying “GO OUT OF THE ARK” and face whatever is out there.

    Genesis 8 – Part 1 - WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

    Some today proclaim that the church is an archaic thing of the past and that the church Jesus envisioned isn’t anything like church as we know it today. So let’s go back and examine what church is really supposed to be. And it’s all summed up on one word.

In fact, Robert H. Schuller, successor to the Crystal Cathedral said” I think we are entering an era in ...read more
