    In the New Testament the word Disciple is used to describe the people who are committed to following Jesus Christ. To be a true disciple of Jesus requires real commitment.

    So, my first sermon of 2016, let’s start with a question: Does life get in the way, or do you let life get in the way? I sit in church and I listen to the message, sometimes I enjoy it, sometimes I find it boring. I love to hear of the miracles that Jesus did and I love to hear about ...read more

    God wants our hearts to be at rest and established by His grace toward us! That’s where and when we find inner peace! It’s not about what you can do, it never has been about what you can do...

    April 23, 2022 At the center of our life of discipleship is Jesus. We have chosen to hold fast to, cling to, bond to, attach ourselves to, be faithful to ---- HIM.

    Trials And Temptations

     | 889 views

    God tested the Israelites in the desert to know what was in their hearts, and tested Abraham’s faith by asking him to sacrifice Isaac. God allows external hardships or difficult situations produce good qualities in us.

    Opening illustration: Illustrate the difference between Temptation and Trial. Introduction: In the New Testament, the same Greek word (peirazo) is used for trial, test, and temptation. The basic meaning of peirazo is to test something to determine its response, value, or character. When peirazo is ...read more

But in reality, many people do not experience or have peace. The skit after the sermon this evening will show several situations where humans do not ...read more
