     | 4,894 views

    This sermon is designed to guide the members of the congregation to deny oneself, to take up ones cross, and to follow Jesus.

    There are tremendous lessons in our Holy Scripture. There are lessons not only in the words, or the content, but that there are lessons for us even in the construction of the writing—there are lessons in the style as well as in the words themselves. For example, in Mark the disciples had been ...read more

    Stay Away From The Cookie Jar Series

     | 4,872 views

    There are different reasons that we fall into this trap. (1) We just want to be popular. We want people to like us. (2) we do not know how to say the word no. No is one of the shortest words in our vocabulary, one of the most powerful words for some

    “Stay away from the Cookie Jar” 1st Corinthians 15:33-34 & Luke 15:11-31 From the time we are very young until the time that we leave home most of us have heard our parents say these words… be careful who you hang out with.. be careful you don’t get caught with the wrong ...read more

    “A person without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls.” Proverbs 25:28 (NLT)

    In a world of deteriorating morality, we must give special attention to Self-discipline and Self-Control to live a virtuous life. Everything we do in life is a choice, and I think most of us realize that. But what most people don’t seem to realize is that everything we don’t do in ...read more

    "This story has resonated with countless hearts across generations, and it continues to do so because it speaks to the very essence of the human experience – our capacity for both rebellion and redemption, for wandering away and finding our way back."

    Introduction: Dear brothers and sisters, today we will study on a profound journey through the pages of Scripture—a journey that unveils the depth of God's forgiveness and exposes two critical aspects of human nature: the sin of self-dependency, as embodied by the younger son, and the sin of ...read more

     | 10,382 views

    In our rush for immediate fulfilment of our desires, we have replaced the concept of delayed gratification to instant gratification. As individuals and as a culture, we have exchanged independence for entitlement.

    Romans 8:28-29 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. WORKING ...read more

    Self-esteem is detrimental to the health of the Christian and to the health of the church. Christians must cultivate humility of spirit that permits them to serve Christ and to serve their fellow saints.

    “If there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count ...read more

    Be A Peacemaker Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,326 views

    To make peace is not to compromise or avoid confrontation. Abraham set us a good example. We must have the desire to make peace, treasure the relationship, be generous in heart and avoid a self-centred view of things.

    JOHN PIPER says the cry of the beatitudes is this: “Get a new heart!” • They are not good suggestions, but what every Christian ought to be. • The beatitudes counter the false understanding that a person can be saved without being changed. Or: that a person can inherit eternal life even if his ...read more

    Disagreements are normally centered around power and control. Getting our own way with little regard to what is actually best for a majority or a right thing to do.
