    Finding Hope “A Door of Hope” Introduction When we go through the valleys of life, the Lord doesn’t sit up in heaven saying, “Gee, I hope they get through it okay.” The hope the Lord gives us isn’t wishful thinking as displayed by this world we live in, rather it is to give us a future and a ...read more

    If you knew that you had the assurance of a new life, eternal life with God, a hope that could not be disappointed, prayers that would be answered in accordance with God’s will, you will have a joy that no one can take and a peace that passes all understanding.

    We are at the end of John 16 today and as Jesus is preparing to leave this earth and return to His Father in heaven, He is making sure that His disciples will be well equipped for their mission. Jesus has given them the promise of the Holy Spirit which assured them of several things: ? that they ...read more

    Though we were delivered from sin, most of us continue to listen to the voice of Satan. We are deceived by him, we believe what he says, and we are entertained by his schemes. That does not need to be the case

    Has Satan Hindered You?

     | 2,074 views

    In fact if we are really trying our best to follow Jesus, there are times it seems we could say, “The devil wouldn't let me do it.” Let's be sure about this, the devil's power is limited. But even the apostle Paul said that the devil got in his way and caused his plans to change.

    The Road To Rest

     | 471 views

    Jesus calls us to come and rest in Him. That word "Come" is a call to all who are weary and heavy-laden to come to Him. It's a compound word that means "here" and "come"--so, Jesus is giving His call to "Come here", to "Come here to Me!"

    The Road to Rest Matthew 11:25-30 John Bunyan's classic analogy of the Christian life, Pilgrim's Progress follows the journey of the main character named Christian as he travels from the City of Destruction to the Celestial City, which describes the spiritual journey of a Christian towards ...read more

    This sermon from Matthew 13 reminds us that while the Word of God and the Sower never change, the fruitfulness of our lives depends entirely on the condition of our hearts—whether they are hardened, shallow, crowded, or humble and receptive to the transforming truth of Christ.

    The Soil of the Heart Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23 To hear and truly understand the words of our Creator is no simple task. This is the One who knit us together in our mother’s womb. Who recorded every moment of our lives before one of them came to be. Who holds together the seen and unseen, past, ...read more

    When chaos floods our lives, God still reigns—turning confusion into calm as we trust Him to fight our battles.

    When the phone rings at midnight and all you hear is running water instead of a voice—that’s chaos. A friend told me once, “I woke up to the sound of my house drowning.” A pipe had burst under the sink.
