    When things are going right for us, generally we all react basically the same way. We smile and enjoy the GOOD TIMES.

    When someone asks us how things are going, we smile and say, “GREAT!” How we are different from one another is often revealed not during our GOOD TIMES, but during the HARD TIMES! One thing we all seem to do during HARD TIMES is turn to our friends for some sound advice. Often what we get ...read more

     | 1,398 views

    Note: The Lord did not call us to uncleanness, but to holiness. And to be specific, this text calls us to holiness in sexual conduct. In fact it is clear from these verses that if we are going to walk in a way that is pleasing to God, this will be a priority.

    People often neglect righteous Joseph while focussing on the theme of Christmas. But do you know there is a man who stands silently next to the manger in the nativity scene? He is not even given a single line to speak! Then he disappears completely from history after the teenage years of Jesus.

    INTRODUCTION There is a story of courage that took place in the very first Christmas. It is about righteous Joseph. But it is a story we often miss because people’s Christmas focus is mostly around a young mother Mary and her son, Jesus. People often neglect righteous Joseph while focussing on the ...read more

    An incomprehensive study on the ’one another’ verses. Part 3

    I want to draw your attention to something most of us would never, otherwise, pause to consider very carefully...something that, in a way, we take for granted. Bearing another person’s burdens.
