    Jesus loves us so much that He pursues us, and pleads with us to enter the kingdom and seek salvation. He knocks on the door to our heart. Jesus may knock on our heart’s door, but we need to be knocking on heaven’s gates!

    This evening’s message is taken from what is commonly called “A Friend Comes at Midnight.” In this particular passage, Jesus used a parable to relate a certain message about our need to continue knocking on the door. In Revelation 3:20, Jesus declared, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If ...read more

    Some of the most horrible things you can imagine have taken place under the name of Christianity.

    For example: • In the year 2002, many were shocked when they began to hear about some of the sinful things among the Catholic priests in America, that dealt with child molesting and homosexuality. The news was so devastating for many, that many Catholics left the Catholic church. Many others ...read more

    Where The Holy Spirit Dwells (Trinity Sunday)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Jun 8, 2022
     | 2,730 views

    The Bible never specifically mentions the Holy Trinity but the Bible does mention how God works in ways that go beyond our ability to understand because God is infinite and we are finite. This sermon intends to explain why Trinity Sunday is such a big deal.

    WHERE THE HOLY SPIRIT DWELLS Text: I Corinthians 6:19 - 20 1 Corinthians 6:19-20  Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,  (20)  for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. ...read more

    Nothing compares to God. But as strange as it may seem, God’s Win-Loss record seems not clean. Because there’s a man by the name of Jacob who claimed to have seen God face to face, was in a wrestling match with God, and even defeated God.

    Nothing compares to God. He is Omnipresent, (always everywhere). Omniscient (all knowing). Omnipotent (all powerful). He is transcendent (he is beyond and above us and our understanding of this world) But as strange as it may seem, God’s Win-Loss record seems not clean. Because there’s a ...read more

John 20:24-29) as well as the answer for the believer's doubt (Luke 24:38-43). It serves as the guarantee ...read more

    An intimate look at sickness, disease, dying, death, and the promises of God

    I hate death beyond words to describe. It fosters fear, sadness, hopelessness, loneliness, grief, and suffering. It's brutal. It's ugly. It smells. It hurts. It tears at the heart like a ravenous beast. It has no regrets and no mercy. It's a thief who robs you of those you love with no ...read more
