    This sermon is an exposition of the acronym F-I-R-S-T Essentials for a balanced church ministry. Forget ourselves and lend a helping hand for the benefit of others.

    Jesus was concerned about people. He was drawn to the crowds. But He did not see the crowds as a sea of faces. Rather, He saw each individual. He looked beyond the surface what other saw to see people for what the really were. He was touched by what He saw. He understood the depth of their needs ...read more

    Jesus addresses several churches in the nook of Revelation. One of the churches is called a dead church. The question we need to consider is are we a dead church? Are we dead spiritually?

    "A Dead Church" Introduction: Each week in America, paramedics arrive on the scene of an accident where the victim has crossed the barrier between life and death. There is no heartbeat. Breathing has stopped. All the vital signs of life are absent. But the paramedics do not accept this death as ...read more

    As we look at our church today are we about our Father’s business-saving live? Or are we not?

    We need the church community, and the church needs us. Therefore we need to meet regularly for fellowship, and participate actively in encouraging one another.

    This passage tells us 2 things: (1) we need the church; (2) the church needs us to play our part. You cannot live a good Christian life all by yourself. We need to be part of a community called the church. This is even more so, the Bible says, as "we see the Day approaching." We are drawing ...read more

    What does it mean to serve as Christ did?

    If I were to ask you to describe yourself in one word; if I were to ask what one adjective best sums up your identity, what would you say?

    The church was never meant to be a “secret society” or an “exclusive group of elites.” We were never meant to exist for Sunday! We were never meant to be a club of positive thinkers who would tell each other how good we are.

    Authentic Christianity INTRODUCTION: If you want to know what someone is all about, just listen to what they say. Jesus once said: “Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh”. The Living Bible puts it this way: “Whatever is in the heart overflows into speech”. Sometimes I ...read more

Its sails were tattered, its masts spliced, and its hull leaky with worm-eaten planks, but it still stayed afloat. It had been sailing for many years – for generations, actually. Many years ago it had been loaded ...read more
