    First John 2:7-11 gives us another visible, objective evidence that someone's profession of faith to be a Christian is credible.

    Scripture John wrote his three letters to oppose the false teaching that was creeping into the churches for which he was responsible. This false teaching was an early form of Gnosticism. The false teachers were claiming that they had a knowledge of God. The word “gnostic” comes from the Greek word ...read more

    What is the significance in the first day and what does it say against the backdrop of evolutionary science. Even more, how does Jesus fit into this motif?

    Introduction Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve shared with you the impossibility of evolution. This is not a philosophical argument, but a theological fact. Evolutionists seek to dispose of God, especially the God of the Bible. Evolution, the gospel, and our salvation are impossibly compatible. ...read more

    The soul is the hallmark of man's existence. Therefore, effort must be geared towards things that will nourish and enrich the soul. Unfortunately, what we seek today are the things that glorify the flesh to the detriment of our soul.

    "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" Mark 8:36 The above passage of the scriptures makes us understand that the whole essence of man is centred on the soul. No wonder the book of Genesis told us that man became a living soul when God breathed ...read more

    Sodom was guilty of six sins and the first on the list was "pride". What is it about pride that makes God so angry and how can we avoid that sin?

    OPEN: A man told of driving West Texas highway. There were no cars in sight and he was going about 70 mph when suddenly, as he went over a crest in the road, he could see up ahead a huge hawk feeding on a rabbit who’d been killed by a passing vehicle.

    Ultimately we’re called to service because we’re seeking to follow the steps of our saviour Jesus Christ. Jesus came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many

    After announcing my resignation from the Sunrise Presbyterian Church in order to accept a new call, I address the issue of "how do we seek and know God’s will for our lives?"

    My wife and I went to a baseball game last week. I bought the tickets at the stadium and when I was at the ticket booth, this young fellow behind the window sold me two tickets and he is about to take my money. And he insults me!

    Zacchaeus The Tax-Collector

     | 49,357 views

    People sees Zacchaeus as a sinner, Jesus sees him as someone God loves. Zacchaeus seeks the Lord, and finds himself being sought after by Jesus. Only Jesus can transform a life.

    A man’s life was changed, from one who people hates to a person who is willing to help others. • He did not attend a moral course or nor a training class. He met a person. He met Jesus. He met the Saviour of his life. • He trusted Christ and experienced His love and the forgiveness of his sin. ...read more

    Love Casts Out All Fear

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Oct 23, 2020
     | 3,670 views

    As believers abandon this world and seek after God's perfect love, they will find that they have nothing to fear. God's unconditional love grants us peace of heart and mind.

    I BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE MANAGED TO REACH A SHAMEFUL MILESTONE IN THE UNITED STATES. WE HAVE BECOME “PHOBIA” CRAZY AND HAVE DECLARED “PHOBI-WARFARE” WHEN SOMEONE SAYS SOMETHING THAT APPARENTLY OFFENDS US! WHEN WE DECLARE SUCH “OFFENSE,” WE STAGE OUR OVER-DRAMATIC, THEATRICAL PERFORMANCE TO LET ...read more

    The praise and worship part of our Christian life is of the utmost importance because it helps us develop a deeper relationship with God, and in the words we find the hope, joy, and comfort that we all seek.

    Today I want us to analyze a very important aspect of our Christian life that is oftentimes overlooked, or not given too much attention to. I say that it is something that is oftentimes overlooked or not paid attention to because the majority of all believers only take care of this aspect of their ...read more

    "Backsliders" are believers who needs some encouragement. But those who claim to be believers and who forsake God simply never had authentic faith in the first place.

    Before we can move forward when facing fearful challenges in our life we first need to stand firm in the Word of the Lord.

    Stand Firm and Move Forward Exodus 14:10-14 Remember the times you experienced fear? The times when your breath was taken away and your adrenalin shot way up?

    How did Joseph become a member of the Sanhedrin and ultimately become a secret follower of Jesus? This first person presentation explores one possible explanation.

    (I entered the auditorium from the side entrance to our baptistery – reading a scroll and entranced in thought.
