    When End Time Events Arise Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on May 29, 2020
     | 7,112 views

    When catastrophe, such as a worldwide pandemic, occurs we are heightened in our end-time awareness. Our sovereign Jesus uses catastrophe to shake us from the rocking rhythm of the ordinary life.

    Jesus Is Still Sovereign Matthew 24:6-8 When End Times Events Appear On the day of Pentecost, when the disciples were proclaiming the Gospel in all sorts of languages they had never learnt, Peter directed everyone back to Scripture and said, “this is what was spoken”. The Scripture helps us to ...read more

    Many people enter this year with pessimism and worry. God wants us to enter this year with an optimistic attitude, even though there will be many challenges that we will have to face this year.

    Happy New Year! Let's read Joshua 1:1-9. Many people enter this year with pessimism and worry. They see how the situation is still bad right now. They may also read or watch the news about the predictions for 2023, which are primarily pessimistic. For example, Bloomberg's Kristine Aquino ...read more

    Jesus will return and is in the process of returning. Are we living as expectant advent-people who are ready?

    WE’VE ALL BEEN THERE: ENTERTAINING GUESTS IN OUR HOME. HOWEVER, THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KNOWING THEY ARE COMING AND WHEN THEY ARE JUST DROPPING BY FOR A VISIT. IT IS ALWAYS AN ADVANTAGE TO KNOW THEY ARE COMING TO PREPARE, CLEAN, GET GROCERIES AND BE FULLY CAPABLE OF PROVIDING MEALS, ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 10,373 views

    Sleepwalkers may look awake, but they're asleep, even if they're driving a car! In this message we look at what spiritual sleepwalking is, the characteristics of such a person, and why it is so serious.

    ARE YOU A SLEEPWALKING CHRISTIAN? Eph. 5:14 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: 1. Have you heard about the dog that sleepwalked into a PetSmart and told the attendant, “ZZZZ, I’m a cat. ZZZZ, I’m a cat.” The attendant responded, “Yes sir, you are a cat.” 2. The sleepwalking dog left and a patron said, ...read more

    How Do We Overcome Temptation? (Luke, Part 3) Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Feb 7, 2022
     | 1,812 views

    None of us is immune to being tempted … but we all can overcome by following the same model that Jesus provided for us. When you resist him, you are choosing the things of God; you are choosing to turn away from the quick pleasure fix (of sin) and seeking His way to guide your life.

    Introduction / Recap - We know that Luke was a physician – helped Paul throughout his ministry -- He was most likely a Gentile from Antioch (Syria) addressing a Gentile audience - Examining the language of the text indicates that he was well educated -- Familiar with Greek; well versed in ...read more

    Year End Inventory

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 26, 2024
     | 6,338 views

    Jesus tells us that when we seek first the Kingdom of God, the other things we are concerned about will take care of themselves. Paul doesn't want us to merely call ourselves Christians or think of ourselves as Christians. He wants to know Christ and wants us to be real followers of Jesus too.

    Opening illustration: Business owners are busy at the end of the year taking inventory. This is a painful but necessary reality so they can know if they made a profit or not. They take the information they receive and make adjustments for the coming year. As Christians, we need to stop at the end ...read more

    All We Like Sheep Series

     | 4,777 views

    We, as Christians, can go astray like sheep. Sin keeps zapping us like an electric fence, but we eventually become numb to it and cross over to enter the dangers of the world. The Shepherd will then react. So, how will He react?

    To begin this evening’s message, I would like to share a verse from the Old Testament. Isaiah 53:6 says, “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” All of us have gone astray from God at some point in our ...read more

    No matter where you’ve been, what you’ve done, or how often you stumble, God calls you to run to Him. There is freedom, joy, and restoration waiting. And the most beautiful part? He runs to meet you, carries you if needed, and celebrates your return.
