    Often as followers of faith, we overlook that our personal story of belief is one of the most potent tools against evil. Your story of faith poses a threat to evil, so it's crucial to voice it out and share it with others.

    As believers, we often overlook the fact that one of our greatest weapons against the forces of evil is our personal testimony. Your testimony makes you a threat to the enemy, so it's crucial to open your mouth and share it. In this passage, Joshua selected twelve men from the twelve tribes of ...read more

    The story of Jabez shows that it doesn't matter who we are, what our parents have decided for us, or even the future we are 'destined' for: what matters is knowing what we want to be and above all, asking it of God.

    Today, we will explore the inspiring story of Jabes and his powerful prayer. This narrative teaches us that our identity, our past, and even our future do not determine our destiny. What truly matters is knowing what we want to become and, above all, seeking it from God. The story of Jabes takes ...read more

    This sermon explores the idea of rethinking our personal narratives in the context of the larger, overarching story of redemption and eternal life through Christ, as depicted in the Gospel of Mark.
