    I know that you would agree with me, there are days. Then there are days that define the rest of your life. Some follow a predictable path, like the middle isle of a church on your wedding day. Others are as unpredictable as a blind date.

    Living A Surrendered Life

    As believers, we are to live out the transformation that has taken place on the inside. It is easy to state that one is a believer and follower of Christ; it is an entirely different matter to live in such a way that others can see evidence of the professed relationship with Christ.

    Living a Surrendered Life Ephesians 4:25-32 We have discussed much in recent weeks regarding the obligations and responsibilities of believers within the body of Christ. Paul has painted a detailed picture of how the church should look and the witness presented unto a watching world. While the ...read more

    On 9/11/01 I overheard several people who assigned the attack on America as being the will of God. Are such events really the Lord’s will?

    IS IT REALLY THE LORD’S WILL? A. Matthew 18:7-14 (READ and COMMENT) 1. This text talks about HUMAN DECISIONS, TROUBLE in the world, and concludes it by discussing what is or what is not the WILL of God.

    The Big Idea: When, as a Christian you feel left out of this world, the good news is that you are still locked into God.

    LEFT OUT BUT LOCKED IN Living Courageously In A World that Doesn’t Want You, Knowing Confidently that God Does INTRODUCTION 1. When I last checked, none of us are living as Christians under any direct pressure to reject Christ. In fact, in our society, having a little Christianity is still okay ...read more

    Every Christian possesses the fruit of the Holy Spirit; we have to nourish them so they grow. The fruit are positive characteristics; gifts; we cannot manufacture them, and certainly cannot witness without displaying them.

    Galatians 5: 22-23 The Fruit of the Spirit The contrast is stark the sinful nature results in: sexual immorality, impurity, debauchery, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissentions, factions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and the like, in other words, ...read more

    Prayer is an act of our faith and demonstrates a relationship with the Lord – It shows we are connected together – it’s a natural reaction to a deep and trusting relationship with the Lord. Truth is when we are so connected to the Lord we cannot help but talk to Him and listen to Him!

    Contributed by Cesar Datuin on Aug 9, 2021
     | 8,803 views

    This world is full of Satan's schemes and activities to lure Christians to give up their faith. But in this sermon, we will see a perfect example set by Jesus in order to be effective in our vigilance against the enemy.

    Intro: Last week we were able to learn that Satan is only a voiceless roaring lion who wanted to set fear and worries in us by using his defenseless roar. That’s why, if we recall our theme this month “I am Vigilant, I am Prepared for Eternity” we are called to be watchful and be on guard always as ...read more
