Sermons on Relying:

Trust God

Contributed by Craig Condon on Nov 6, 2015

What is your source of wealth?? Who do you believe supplies everything that you need? For Christians, the answer to both questions should be-God.

Have you ever looked at the current economic situation and asked yourself if it represents the end of the world? Well, you can relax. It is not the end of the world, but it paints a picture of what the economic situation will be like just before Christ returns. The image in Revelation 18:9-20 is ...read more

Should Churches Do Business?

Contributed by Jeff Van Wyk on Aug 3, 2013

A church should be an active, contributing member of its community, rather than a closed-off mini-community that keeps to itself and this can extend to becoming involved in business or in the business community.

Churches in business Luke 19:13 - So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, “Do business till I come.” God always intended for the priesthood to reinvest a portion of the tithe, with the expectation of a return. It was part of His plan to show ...read more

After the feeding of the 5,000 He sends His disciples unto the other side toward Capernaum, but unto Bethsaida the northern part of the sea. And ...read more

A Christ-Centered Marriage

Contributed by Anthony Sosa on Jan 14, 2025

A Christ-centered marriage is built on the unshakable foundation of God’s love, where both husband and wife draw strength from their relationship with Christ. With Him at the center, their union is fortified, filled with grace, and equipped to withstand life’s challenges together.

A Christ-Centered Marriage Text: Ecclesiastes 4:12 (CSB): “And if someone overpowers one person, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not easily broken.” A successful marriage takes three people: the husband, the wife, and Christ at the center. This principle is grounded in Scripture and ...read more
