    Look On Us!

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Aug 31, 2015
     | 7,523 views

    The word ‘US’ has vanished from our vocabulary! ‘ME’ stands out! If at all the word ‘US’ operates, it is for agitation and not for edification! Hear me out today please!

    Look on us! Acts 3:1”And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.” Many times we focus on the healing of the 40 year old man who sat near the temple, but I would like you to focus on the words of Peter and John here: ’Look on us!” Rarely we hear ...read more

    SATAN HAS UNLEASHED SEX DEMONS TO DESTROY MANKIND. UNFORTUNATELY MANY INCLUDING PASTORS AND CHRISTIANS ARE NOT CONSCIOUS OF THIS MENACE. BUT DAILY WE SEE INDIVIDUALS, FAMILIES, CHURCHES AND NATIONS BEING DESTROYED BY SEXUAL IMMORALITY. READ THIS PLEASE.

    BEWARE OF SEXUALLY INDUCED DESTRUCTION (SID)! “There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.” Prov. 16:25 (NKJV) The subject of sex is rarely discussed freely in the open, but it is the most practiced secret of mankind. Because it is kept in secret and ...read more

    This message is on dealing with two motivating factors of how we spend our money 1) it looks good now and 2) it will impress others later. We should be more concerned with pleasing God than each other.

    Depending on who you talk to, construction zones are not the places of peace and contentment. They are chaotic and dangerous. Most people will say that they are messed up places, dangerous places, and oftentimes unsightly places to look at. Please be pat

    Don't Want To Be A Pharisee Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 5, 2014
    based on 44 ratings
     | 39,828 views

    Jesus despised the Pharisees. But why? These guys were simply trying to please God by honoring His rules. What was it about them that angered God so much and how do we avoid becoming like them?

    About the worst thing you can call somebody in Church is to say they are a “Pharisee”. The Pharisees were THE “bad guys” in scripture and seemed to always be the main group that Jesus singled out as examples of who His followers were NOT to be like. I don’t want to be ...read more

     | 9,001 views

    Humanism has crept into the Church where the focus has become on how to please people rather than God. The goal of humanism is to be happy as you live while the goal of Christianity is to be happy when your life is completed

    Everything that God created has a purpose which is an assignment from God. Everything created was made to bring glory to God. Everything we do should result in the praise and glorification of God. Like everything else, we were created by Him and for Him. Have you ever made something which spoke ...read more

    To live a life that pleases God, we must always return the glory to Him. No matter the heights we attain, it is a dangerous thing to boast in our own strength. God does not share His glory with any man.

    "Your will be done on earth as in heaven." We may not say the exact words but many of our prayers could be summarized with the words, “please let my will be done.” What's the answer to this paradox of prayer?

    “Your will be done on earth as in heaven.” In the prayer we affectionately call the Lord’s Prayer we refer to that phrase as the Third Petition. Remember that a petition is specific request. There are seven petitions in the Lord’s Prayer as we pray it. After addressing God as our Father in ...read more
