    A short message at a Child development Centre and Remand Home, short because the message is to be translated to Sinhala (one of the local languages) and because in many cases those hearing the message have short attention spans.

    I need to get busy developing my prayer team. Those two or three people that I can share my prayer concerns with and know that they have my back and I have their back.

     | 2,500 views

    When people see us they immediately develop impressions of us. If we are a Christian, they will begin to look for Jesus in us. When that happens, will they see Him in our actions; our decisions; and our love for others?

     | 1,709 views

    God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-discipline. We can overcome unhealthy fear by relying on the Holy Spirit's power, focusing on God's love, and developing self-discipline.

Habits are all about cravings and rewards. What if we craved hanging out with our friends, praying more, and really getting the Bible? ...read more

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Jul 4, 2021
     | 7,223 views

    Sermon expounds exhortation in Eph. 6:18 to "pray with ALL KINDS of prayer." A key to expanding our prayer capacity is developing in a variety of modes of prayer. Many struggle with prayer because their prayer life is one-dimensional (primarily petition).

    Our text today is found in Ephesians 6. A couple of weeks ago we ministered on the armor of God presented in verses 10-17.i Paul begins by saying, “Finally, my brethren, [much of what Paul has said previously in this epistle is leading up to this exhortation.] be strong in the Lord and in the power ...read more
