Walk By Faith By Pastor John Mateos Ong

Contributed by John Ong on Dec 5, 2017

As the Bible said in Deuteronomy 7:9, He keeps His covenant of love to thousands of generation for those who love and keep his commandments. So if we strive to keep our faith to Him, if we walk by faith with Him, we will be more like Him each day.

Take a moment to imagine if God was like some of the world’s worst leaders, those who killed someone that doesn’t obey them or their program. Can we just imagine if God was like Hitler who killed almost all of the Jews, or like Mao Tse Tung who does not only manipulated and tricked his people just ...read more

When The Veil Is Lifted

Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on May 19, 2025

This past Sunday our pastor was recovering from the flu. When I asked him how he was doing, he said he was about 70% recovered. He then shared this with the church. As he began to preach there appeared to be a sincere heartfelt message flowing from deep within. A middle-aged man always makes a ...read more

A King? On A Donkey?

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Apr 2, 2020

Why does the story of Palm Sunday begin with Jesus on a donkey? Prophecy fulfilled. A living parable. Corrie Ten Boom said: Eveyone one singing. Waving palm branches... do you think for a moment the donkey thought it was for him? Let me be the donkey on which Jesus rides in His glory.

A God Who Satisfies
