    This sermon encourages us to prioritize seeking God's kingdom and righteousness, trusting in His provision, and finding peace in Christ, rather than worrying about worldly needs.

    Good morning, beloved. We gather here today under the banner of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sanctuary of His love, and in the fellowship of His grace. We stand in the shadow of the cross, our hearts echoing with the words of our Savior, "Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these ...read more

    Mary was a young Jewish virgin who received the surprise of her life one day! The angel Gabriel appeared to her and explained that she had been chosen to be the mother of the Messiah! What happened then?

    Introduction: the first Christmas was important to many people, three in particular. Besides Baby Jesus Himself, there were Mary, His mother after the flesh; and Joseph, chosen by God to be the foster father of the Son of God (what a challenge!).

    Jesus has been taken to Pilate’s palace by the religious leaders. They need Pilate to give Jesus the death sentence, since the Jews no longer have that authority. Pilate interviews Christ and announces that he is innocent.

    The Only God, The First And The Last Series

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Aug 7, 2022
     | 1,480 views

    It’s foolish to put our confidence in what we own, or in what we look like, or in the people we love. All these good things only spring from the Lord God, the overflowing fountain. And none of these things can save or redeem, for God alone is the First and the Last.

    One of my favourite Bible stories is in 1 Kings 18. That’s the chapter where God has a showdown with Baal, a dramatic contest on the top of Mount Carmel. You remember how Elijah challenges the prophets of Baal to a competition. ‘Come up the mountain,’ he said. ‘Bring two oxen for sacrifice, wood to ...read more

    After living more than 60 years, I know that any claim that offers an effortless way to develop a lean, well conditioned body is a hoax. So is any sermon title that promises an easy way to become like our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

    The application to this is if we put Jesus first in our lives and if we continue to strive for Him, continue to draw ourselves close to Him, He will improve us and make us more like Him everyday.

    Lost Our First Love ME I love Jesus and I love being a minister of Christ. I honestly believe being a minister is the most important thing I could do on the face of the earth.
