    Your faith is not your own. Your faith is also your family’s faith. The question is, is your home a place of family faith?

    What is our most basic calling in life? Let me put it another way—why are you here? There is a lot of talk in the church today about finding our purpose in life. What is God’s purpose for me? What is His will for my life? Why has God put me here? And people look all over the place to find the ...read more

    This is the fourth message in a series looking at questions Christ asked. It underlines the responsibility of everyone to answer for themselves as to the Person of Christ.

    A Series of Queries Whom Say Ye That I Am? Text: Matthew 16:13-15 Introduction: One of my favourite stories, (whether it is true or not I cannot really say – the Irish love telling “stories”), is about the golfer Seve Ballesteros when he was playing in the Irish Open Golf Championship at ...read more

    Jesus said, “the Kingdom of Heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his servants.” And he found a guy who owed him 50 billion dollars!

    When Jesus says that we are the light of the world, it means God has deposited His nature inside of us, and we are to let it out. It’s in there! It just needs to be allowed to shine forth. Today from this passage of scripture we will learn much like salt

    Jesus, Sermon on the Mount Part 3 Called to be Shinny Matthew 5:14-16 Introduction Light, much like salt, is a miracle.

    As the season of Advent begins, many people are preparing for Christmas. That’s good, but ...we are primarily being called in this sermon to be alert, to watch, to be awake, preparing for the return of Jesus. So, are YOU awake ?

Love begins with God, because God is Love. “God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.” Matthew and Mark say it a little differently: when Jesus looked on the crowds, he saw that they were ...read more
