    based on 1 rating
     | 2,280 views

    Do you feel what you are doing for God is unnoticed or unappreciated by others? There were many such people whom God used to fulfill His great purposes. This sermon will encourage you to realize that nothing you do is disregarded by God.

    We read in 1 Corinthians 1:25, “This foolish plan of God is wiser than the wisest of human plans, and God's weakness is stronger than the greatest of human strength.”(NLT) As human beings, the two aspects of life that we seek and pursue after are worldly knowledge and strength.

    When the book of Daniel opened, we met a young man, no more than a middle-school-aged student. Now, as Daniel closes, we see a man who is advanced in years and probably around his mid-80s. Daniel has dared to stand alone for God in a hostile environment. He has clearly shown us that a powerful ...read more

    Isaiah 40 declares that we will win the race because God says we will win - if we wait upon the Lord. That thought can change our lives... but it even has a greater power. Do you know what that is?

    OPEN: (I began the sermon by reading the text and then singing a song I wrote back in Bible College that was inspired by the last two verses of the 40th chapter of Isaiah – See Footnote for the words) When I was about 8 years old, my dad decided to have a running contest between me and my brother ...read more

    Who gave James and John the "label" "Sons of Thunder"... and what can that mean to us as Christians?

    Four men were playing golf one afternoon, and were approaching the 4th hole when suddenly the sky turned ominously dark, and it began thunder and rain. The men rushed to a gazebo for shelter.

     | 439 views

    “What is His name?” That’s the question Moses asked God at the burning bush. It’s the same question many ask today — sometimes with curiosity, sometimes with doubt, sometimes with desperation. Who is God? What is He like? Can I know Him personally?

     | 3,784 views

    The closing doxology of Jude's letter is not only glorious, but when analysed, it is specifically challenging to our Christian lives. How do we stand? What about stumbling? How are we blameless? To Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority for ever and ever!
