     | 589 views

    Pentecost was not merely a historical event—it was the dawn of a new era. The Holy Spirit descended, Peter preached with boldness, and hearts were pierced. The crowd, convicted, asked, “What should we do?” - Peter’s response is our focus—a divine blueprint for transformation.

    Go! And Be Transformed: The Call to Repentance and New Life - Acts 2:38 Acts 2:38 (NLT): Peter replied, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy ...read more

    The Outsiders

     | 6,724 views

    Are we mindful of how we come across to unbelievers? Are we aware of how the unchurched look at those who call themselves Christians? It would serve us well to gain a better understanding about how important it is to present ourselves in the right way.

    THE OUTSIDERS INTRODUCTION: We come to church and we’re mostly surrounded by “insiders” people who are Christians like us but how much consideration do we give to those who are still outside? Are we mindful of how we come across to unbelievers? Do we care how we present ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 333 views

    How do we define a human being in the 21st century? Is it our intelligence, our achievements, our relationships? The Bible presents a far deeper, richer, and infinitely more dignified vision: every person—male or female—is created in the image of God.

    In God’s Image: The Dignity and Destiny of Humanity” Doctrinal Focus: Humanity – “We believe in the inherent dignity and value of every person, as created in God’s image and likeness, male and female, to be in fellowship with God and serve God’s purposes in creation.

     | 4,317 views

    Praying with confidence requires us to know God and to know what He has promised. Then, when we present the requests prompted by God's promise, we must defer to Him so that He is honoured in us.

    While this world is no longer the one that “God pronounced very good,” Romans 8:18-27 states we as Christians can experience unspeakable joy while living on this earth when we allow our groaning to focus not on our current suffering but on the glory we are about to receive!

    When things get tough we sometimes wonder whether God is present with us. Bot God is always here and his promises never fail. He will judge those who do wrong in his world. He is constant in his judgements.

    Well let me begin by saying this is a difficult reading.It’s a difficult reading not only because we need to understand something of the complex history between Assyria and Judah and the covenant relationship between God and the people of Israel … but even more fundamentally it’s ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 8,509 views

    Psalm 20 was a prayer for the king who was going into battle. But this psalm applies to us too. In Psalm 20 we see love, care and concern as well as encouragement, faith and trust. It's a good psalm to focus on, take to heart and pray.

    PRAYING PSALM 20 (part one) Last week I talked about getting alone with God in silent solitude. Obviously when we do that we are going to spend at least some of that time in prayer. We pray for what's on our heart and we pray for others and we pray for our town, state, country, world. Someone ...read more

    Society seems to go by us so fast we do not have the time to assess it or where we are in it. We are admonished to focus on the Lord, not on our ever-changing world. (From a wonderful sermon I read on Sermon Central.)

    Incredible changes have taken place in the past hundred years. We are experiencing more change than ever in history. The rate of change is so great that we barely catch our breath before another blast of change slams into us. Everything we’re familiar with is changing, right before our eyes. We ...read more
