    Some seek a great teacher, others seek a want satisfier, still others seek a miracle worker, but what we should be seeking is a grave robber and a life giver – our risen Lord and Savior!

    Mary, God-Bearer

    Mary is a regrettably divisive person; some honor her too much, others not enough...yet she is one truly "blessed" and "full of grace" (Given as a Mothers Day sermon).

    Mary the mother of Jesus has regrettably become a divisive figure. Some Christians come dangerously close to worshipping her. Mary is not the “Queen of Heaven”, yet she is worthy of honor, and we should not take her willingness to serve God lightly. In an over-reaction to the ...read more

    Sacrifices To God Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Feb 21, 2020
     | 3,353 views

    Offerings follow the character of the worshipper. God looks not into the hands of a man but the heart of a man. We can't satisfy God by our mere offerings but by the broken heart and humble spirit. God is after a man or woman who is living with love and devotion to God and fellow human.

    Better Sacrifice Genesis 4:1-10 Introduction: This year we are going to meditate under the Theme: “A cloud of Witnesses”(Hebrews 12:1). We will be thinking numerous personalities of the Bible from the perspectives of Faith journey. This Sunday we have two personalities before us to learn. They ...read more

    Ask, Seek, Knock

    Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened. Does this mean Jesus is our genie in a bottle? Can I ask for anything I want and Jesus will just give it to me? There's much to understand about what Jesus said here.

    ASK, SEEK, KNOCK Matt. 7:7-12 1) Ask, Seek, Knock (7-8). Here we see three different words three different meanings. I think this illustrates a process; like a chain of events if you will. As the Fourfold gospel commentary puts it, “Asking is a simple use of voice, seeking is a motion of the ...read more

    Contributed by Bishop, W. F. Houston, Jr. on Nov 19, 2023
     | 1,210 views

    Ever wondered why the Gospel emphasizes salvation as a gift? Why is it unearned and freely bestowed? As we explore the truths of God's grace, anchored in Ephesians 2:8-9, we discover a profound answer.

    In the next moments, we'll explore the vastness of God's grace as revealed to us in Ephesians 2-8-9. This scripture reminds us that our salvation isn't a trophy of our deeds, but a testament to God's deep and philosophical love and mercy. It challenges our understanding of merit and ...read more
