    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Aug 27, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 16,040 views

    Everyone acknowledges that a bad attitude stinks. We don’t even need to discuss about how and why to have a sick attitude … it comes so natural because naturally we are born with it … though we are born in sin but we have a choice to choose our attitude.

    Opening illustration: During 1997 as the world focused on the deaths of Princess Diana and Mother Teresa, another significant passing went almost unnoticed. Austrian psychiatrist Viktor Frankl died on September 2 at the age of 93. During World War II, Dr. Frankl was imprisoned at Auschwitz, where ...read more

    I am giving up Lent for Lent this year, at least the way the Church typically does Lent. Lord is not interested in what I give up for just 40 days and return to it. He is interested in me giving up the sins in my life which will make Easter more joyous

    TITLE: GIVING UP LENT FOR LENT SCRIPTURE: ST LUKE 9:22-24 / II CORINTHIANS 13:5-6 Although Easter is the most significant of the Christian holidays it does not enjoy the kind of enthusiastic fanfare afforded Christmas or even Thanksgiving.

    Consequences – You Don’t Avoid Them Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 13, 2025
     | 396 views

    God has ordained that everything in this universe has consequences. That is why a whole network of scientific laws operate to make all things function. Consequences apply to human behaviour and we look into these. Consequences apply to Christians as well.

    CONSEQUENCES – YOU DON’T AVOID THEM [A]. INTRODUCING THE SUBJECT – All of us know that if we trip on a set of stairs, we will tumble down. If we drive too fast around a sharp road bend, we are likely to skid off the road. If a branch separates from a very tall tree, it falls down and hits ...read more

    When we encounter God’s grace, it changes everything because we die to our old way of live, are introduced to a new way of life, and find a new master.

    In his book "What’s So Amazing About Grace," Christian author Philip Yancey writes about a friend who invited him out for a cup of coffee one night (Yancey 179-80).

    Today I'll be dealing with one of the most misused verses in the bible. Whenever someone addresses a sin in our life we pull out our trump card, Matt. 7:1, “Judge not, lest ye be judged!” Let's take a look into this passage so we can understand what Jesus meant.

    Lifting The Curtain Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 3, 2021
     | 2,794 views

    Many of you will be in two spiritual battles in your life – not all of you but some of you. We were born at war with God because we are born in sin. But when we lay down our arms at the cross of Jesus Christ in unconditional surrender, God declares peace with us.

    This morning I want to speak to you on this topic: Lifting the Curtain. One of my favorite coaches says this about any upcoming opponent that they play no matter the other team’s record, “It’s a five star match up because we’re in it.” Again, “It’s a five star match up because we’re in it.” The ...read more

     | 2,841 views

    Illegitimate, rejected, expelled, Jephthah became a recognised warrior. The ones who ill-treated him crawled to him for help against the Ammonites who were invading the country. There is much of human nature playing out in this account. We examine that. PART 1 of two parts.

    based on 44 ratings
     | 14,239 views

    There’s a Jekyll and Hyde in every one of us. Which nature will win? It all depends upon whether we allow Jesus’ blood to cleanse us from sin, or try to defeat Mr. Hyde on our own.

    Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde By Pastor Jim May In 1886, Robert Louis Stevenson authored a book titled, “The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde”.
