    Let Your Light Shine

    Alexander MacLaren once wrote: ‘We may have as much of God as we choose. Jesus puts the key to the treasure-chamber into our hand and tells us to take all that we want. If a man is admitted into the vault of a bank and told to help himself, and comes out with one penny, whose fault is it that he is ...read more

    Parents have the responsibility of preparing their families for Jesus' return. Fathers: leading spiritually. Mothers: examples of faith. We need to be mindful of the evil days we are in and set a positive example so that all are ready for Jesus’ return.

    True worship happens when our hearts and minds align with God’s truth, allowing authentic praise regardless of our changing feelings or circumstances.

    Friends, pull up a chair and take a deep breath. Some of us walked in today with hearts humming like a racing engine, others with batteries barely blinking. Some of us feel God’s nearness; others wonder if our prayers are bouncing off the ceiling. Can I encourage you? You are not here by accident. ...read more

    God’s unwavering faithfulness means He never forgets us or His promises; His presence and covenant love sustain us through every season and circumstance.

    Some of us keep a shoebox of memories. A faded ticket stub from the big game. A ribbon from a graduation cap. A hospital bracelet that once wrapped a tiny wrist. We keep them because they tell us who we are and whose we are. They steady us. They sing to us on stormy days. They whisper, You’ve been ...read more

    Trusting God, not wealth or success, leads to true flourishing, contentment, and resilience, as He faithfully cares for and delivers those who rely on Him.

    There’s a reason our hearts flutter a bit when the stock market scrolls across the screen or when the bills stack higher than the mailbox can hold. Money talks. It promises security, status, and sleep at night. Yet, like a mirage in a hot desert, it keeps moving when we move. God knows this. He ...read more

    Message 1 in a series through James that helps us explore the relationship between faith and works in our lives. James was the half-brother of Jesus and the leader of the church in Jerusalem.

    Today, we’re starting a new series through the New Testament book of James called Faith & Works. I truly believe that you won’t find a more practical book in the entire Bible than James. Some of you may remember the For Dummies series of books that became popular 20-30 years ago and are still ...read more

    Rahab teaches us in this passage that your past doesn’t determine your future but your choices do. And at the same time she also teaches us there’s no excuse for sin. No one can excuse themselves by saying, “I’m a product of my parents, the result of a wa

    Why do you go to services at your church? What are you seeking from the Saviour? People have expectations, but many times our expectations fail to match up with reality.

    “When John’s messengers had gone, Jesus began to speak to the crowds concerning John: ‘What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? What then did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are dressed in splendid clothing and live in ...read more

    If someone is looking for perfection in the Bride of Christ, they are not likely to find it. People focus on an ideal symmetry, but God gives His perfection to imperfect. We will be perfected at the return of our Saviour.

    “He had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him.” [1] Most of us don’t have to look very far to find things we don’t like about ourselves. Young women are trained by society to starve themselves in order to achieve a look they imagine will bring ...read more
