Let All Creation Sing Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Dec 26, 2021

In this sermon, I link Psalm 98 with the Isaac Watts' hymn "Joy to the World." The Advent theme is joy, so I ask: Do you want to have a merry Christmas? Do you want to have a joy-filled Christmas? Then look to Jesus.

T-minus 6 days, amen? Christmas is next Saturday … it’ll be here before we know it, amen? How many of you have all your Christmas shopping done? How many of you have all your presents wrapped and under the tree? How many of you still have to put up your tree, amen? Over the past few weeks ...read more

Our Refuge And Strength Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Dec 26, 2021

This is a sermon for Epiphany Sunday. I've linked Psalm 46 with the hymn "We Three Kings" as a way of reminding ourselves who this child/King is why He is worthy of any all the gifts we have to give Him.

Samuel could tell by the look on their faces that the elders weren’t making a social call to inquire about his health … and he was right. One of the elders cleared his throat. “Samuel … you are getting old and, well, no offense but we’re more than a little concerned about the future of our ...read more

Jesus Is A Better Temple (John 2:12-24) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 8, 2022

Dapat Bukas Ang Gate Series

Contributed by James Dina on Jan 12, 2022

Kung mananatiling sarado ang mga pintuang ito, malilimitahan nito ang ating paglilingkod sa Diyos ; ngunit kapag nabuksan ang mga pintuan na ito, magkakaroon tayo ng napakalaking paglago ng simbahan, pagpapabuti ng pananalapi ng ating simbahan at masaganang pagpapala.

DAPAT BUKAS ANG GATE “Nang makalampas sila sa una at ikalawang ward, sila ay dumating sa pintuang-bakal na patungo sa lungsod; na nagbukas sa kanila sa kaniyang sariling kusa: at sila'y lumabas at nagdaan sa isang lansangan; at kaagad na umalis ang anghel sa kanya” (Mga Gawa 12:10) Itutuloy ...read more

17) Reverencing God In Prayer Series

Contributed by Brandon Max on Jan 17, 2022

If you act with courage, perhaps God will fight with you, and for you.

The Mystery Of Goshen

Contributed by James Dina on Feb 2, 2022

The Land of Goshen had so many mysteries that only God could unravel. "The more they afflicted the Israelites, the more they multiplied." Whenever God blessed Israel, he cursed Egypt. We need God’s wisdom to guide us during persecution, especially where Christianity practice is forbidden.

THE MYSTERY OF GOSHEN Then Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, "Your father and your brothers have come to you. The land of Egypt is before you. Let your father and brothers dwell in the best of the land; let them dwell in the land of Goshen. And if you know any competent men among them, then ...read more
