     | 9,164 views

    Mannaseh pushed Judah to the point of no return. Right at the end of his life, he experienced God's great grace and forgiveness when he repented. However it was too little, too late. The damage has been done. That's the legacy he left behind.

     | 6,011 views

    The church is supposed to encourage one another until Jesus returns by getting together regularly. But instead of spurring one another one toward love and good deeds many people who have been involved with a church have only felt the spurs and not the love

    We are the Body of Christ - The Church What is the church and why does it matter? Is the church a human institution or a spiritual body made by God? What is the church supposed to be doing here on planet earth? If the church is important why don’t more people belong to it? Will the ...read more

    Peter makes a profound statement while writing to first century believers - the end of all things is at hand. He wanted the church to live and witness in light of anticipation of the Lord's soon return. Such an awareness would impact every aspect of Christian life.

    Faithful till the End 1 Peter 4: 7-11 Today is a day unlike any we’ve ever known. In the past few years, the world has seen drastic change. We are living in a day of difficulty and decision. The day when God was given His rightful place in the affairs of our nation has been replaced with lust, ...read more

    Do we offer our worship because we expect Jesus to return the favor and make us healthy, happy, and prosperous? Or do we worship Him simply because He is the Christ, the Son of the Living God, who alone is worthy of our praise?

    INTRODUCTION Today, Christians around the world are celebrating Palm Sunday… also known as the “Triumphal Entry”. This is a special day where we remember the events that happened almost 2,000 years ago… A special day when Jesus rides into Jerusalem… A special day to begin a week of celebration ...read more

    "The Jesus Way" Vs "The American Way"

     | 3,534 views

    A call to the modern church to return to its passion for the one who gave His life, His all for our sins, our future, our hopes, our everything that is right, good and holy exist in Him. Why then is the church pursuing a love relationship with the world!

    Introduction: Jesus said ...“I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6). The Jesus way wedded to the Jesus truth brings about the Jesus life. We can’t proclaim the Jesus truth but then do it any old way we like. Nor can we follow the Jesus way without speaking the Jesus ...read more

    Advent 1 (B) Christ is more than a baby born in Bethlehem, He is King of all. We should not confine worship of Christ to the holiday only, nor failure to recognize Him as more than just a baby, but as God and Lord who will return as Judge.

    “Don’t keep Christ in Christmas” J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. Thanksgiving is over, and Advent is here. But our Gospel reading today presents us with Mark’s ...read more

    I believe we are living in the last days because every day since Jesus ascended into Heaven after His resurrection is one of the last days – we just don’t know how many days, months or years there will be till He returns.

    Proper preparation for the second coming of Christ For a few weeks, God has kept leading me back to a specific passage in 1 Thessalonians chapter 5 which I believe He wants me to share with you today.

    When the shine of your commitment to God wears off, remember how much God loves you, respect Him in your worship, remain true to your spouse, look forward to His justice, return to Him in your giving, and truly revere Him.

    When heaven interrupted earth, everything changed. Eternity stepped into time so time could be redeemed. God came near so humanity could return to Him. Christmas reminds us that God is not distant. He is present. He is involved. He is intentional.
