    A Forgotten Blessing Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Dec 10, 2021
     | 3,647 views

    Counting our blessings can often be a way of encouraging ourselves in our walk with Christ. However, there's one blessing we often forget.

    In Psalm 103:12 David exhorts himself in this way: “Bless the Lord, o my soul, and forget none of his benefits.” It’s an interesting sentiment. The great King David finds it necessary to instruct himself, or remind himself, not to forget any of the Lord’s blessings or benefits. If David had to ...read more

    IF A MORTAL CAN DEDICATE HER LIFE in serving a cause or a conviction that will be consumed altogether at the second coming of Christ, shall we dedicate our life in the service of Christ?

    All of us have turning point in our lives which can either be good or bad based on how we allow it to define us. Last Monday, 19 Sept, the world farewelled Britain’s longest reigning monarch.

    Our Christian life and journey is not always smooth and easy. When things get tough we can either give up or continue on. Let’s learn how to move on and not turn back.

    We read in John 21:4, “Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus” (ESV) They failed to recognize Jesus It was indeed an unusual situation on the sea shore that day, as the resurrected Jesus stood on the shore, and his own disciples who ...read more

    Transformed To Be Like Jesus

     | 402 views

    God's Spirit is at work in us, refining us, growing the fruit of the Spirit in us. He is transforming us to be like Jesus. How do we sometimes resist this? What does it mean to see each other as ones who are being transformed by the goodness and grace of God?

    March 2, 2025 Sermon - “Transformed to Be Like Jesus” Nature is an incredible thing. Most of us have likely had our breath taken away at the site of something in creation.

     | 762 views

    When something was too heavy for us to lift, it was a policy at my work that anything over 50 lbs. was to have a two-man lift. This way the heavy object could be lifted without injury! Prayer is similar at times!

    The Two-Man Lift Ephesians 6:14-18; 1 Samuel 38-40 When something is too heavy for you to carry, what do we do? We ask for help, hence – “The Two-Man Lift!” This was a policy where I used to work… Over 50 lbs., get help!! Knowing that God wants us to pray as if we are fighting and defeating the ...read more
