    Luke 2

    SEEKING JESUS IN THE TEMPLE (LUKE 2:39-52) I was a teenager when the Billy Graham crusade came to Singapore in 1978. The older leaders and advisers to the young people drove seven hours, taking us students in several cars across the border to attend the event. We were ecstatic. For many of us, it ...read more

     | 388 views

    As Jesus ministered in the region of Galilee, He did some things that some thought to be strange. As a result they glorified God!

    A few years ago, there was a series release on streaming services called “Stranger Things.” The series took place in a small town where strange events were happening - supernatural encounters, weird creatures, fissures into things that seemed like a mirror image of our world. It was truly filled ...read more

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Mar 18, 2025
     | 499 views

    How often does God have to wrestle with us, through His word and His Spirit to bring something to our attention? He’ll wrestle with us until we come to the end of ourselves, until we see the issue for what it is, until He is first

    Facing your past with God Genesis 32:1-28 16 March 2025 Last time in our Dust to Life series, we saw how God called Jacob to leave Haran and how Jacob made his peace with his father-in-law Laban. We are in chapter 32 today where Jacob now comes face-to-face with God. Before this happens, however, ...read more

    The promise of the King of Glory arriving

    Who is this King of Glory? Psalm 24 Good morning. In Medieval times, a King had total dominion, and giving an order to kill a subject was completely at a king’s discretion.

    The Laws Of Almighty God (2 Of 5)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Sep 5, 2024
     | 731 views

    This is the second message in this series on The Laws of Almighty God. The one thing we learned in the first sermon in this series is that a law is a proven fact, which works EVERY TIME for EVERY ONE!

    Such is the case with the scientific LAW OF GRAVITY. For the law of gravity says, “What goes up must come down.” It does not matter who throws something up in the air, the law of gravity says the results will be the same every time for everyone. If this was not true, then the law of gravity ...read more

    The Golden Goal Series

    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,724 views

    The "Golden Rule" is both simple and profound and sums up the lifestyle Christians should embrace. But what does this "Rule" mean to us, and how can we live it to its fullest?

    (Asking the audience) What Is Golden Rule? “Do unto others as you’d have them do unto you.” That’s a simple and yet powerful statement that has caught the imagination of the world, and it’s almost as if nobody (before Jesus) had ever thought about that! ILLUS: Several years ago, there was a ...read more

    Jesus not only loves the church; He formed it. He created it. It was his idea. He launched it on the Day of Pentecost and calls us to join it.

    Tony Evans said; “Don’t treat church like the Super bowl.” This is what He said: “Millions upon millions of spectators watch the Super bowl. People reorient their lives for three hours and with great intensity watch 21 men on the field go to battle. When the game is over and the winner has been ...read more

    Why Wikipedia beats printed encylcopedias. How doing the hardest thing (what's that?) can help lift our spirits when we are low. And how that fits not just with Jesus's saying about saltiness but with the rest of today's bible readings. A sermon from September 2015

    Have a taste of this [hand out teaspoon of salt to someone in the front row] “If salt loses it’s saltiness with what will you season it?” I have two things that I would like to draw out of today’s texts about ways in which we can lose our saltiness - one personal and one public.
