Chosen By Grace Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Nov 21, 2021

Sermon # 29 - The Power Of Corporate Prayer Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 20, 2025

Something happens when people gather together to pray. The early church experienced this in a mighty way and they witnessed astounding miracles because they prayed together. Only when families and churches pray together will we be able to see a revival in these last days.

For our meditation I have chosen Act 4:31,“And when they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the Word of God with boldness.” (AFV) It is a fact that whenever we as a church gather and pray together, there will ...read more

Exodus 8:1 - 11:10 The Plagues

Contributed by Carl Willis on Apr 18, 2024

This story isn't really about Moses, it's not really about the Israelites, and it's not really about the Egyptians; it's about God revealing himself to men and it's about God dealing with the condition of men's hearts.
