     | 1,006 views

    Have you experienced a season in your life when you were broken and weary? Did it seem to go on and on? Did it seem to never end?

    My wife and I were traveling to see a musical in Charlotte, Mi Saturday. We’ve often felt a divine connection with the bald eagle. I recall numerous times when God would use the bald eagle to give me a nudge in the Spirit, or give me a sense of hope for the future. I saw eagles talon locking over ...read more

    He alone holds the power to turn around any difficult season or loss we may be facing, and bring great blessing and good through it all …

    Opening Thought: Often when things don’t seem to go right in this life, we start feeling like we’ve been left on our own. Pressures surround, troubles cling, we may be facing huge loss, or we find ourselves in long seasons of waiting. God’s timing seemed off during the 400-year gap between the OT ...read more

    Beyond seasonal glitter, God proves His Word: Jesus fulfills prophecy, dies, rises, and invites every heart to trust His unbreakable promises.

    (A Christmas conversation about God’s kept promises) Opening – Smell, taste, and memory On the way here I passed through Loma Linda—our Adventist mecca—where health-food stores outnumber fast-food chains and where Postum is practically a sacrament.

    Joy In The Midst Of Heaviness Series

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Oct 14, 2025
     | 129 views

    This sermon explains the Christian paradox of experiencing profound joy—rooted in our eternal salvation—while simultaneously enduring temporary and purposeful seasons of sorrow and trials.

    Introduction: A Heavenly Paradox To the world, joy and sorrow are opposites. They are like oil and water; they cannot mix. You are either happy, or you are sad. The presence of one means the absence of the other. The goal of modern life, it seems, is to construct a life so comfortable, so ...read more

    When we do a job we expect to get paid for it. When we do something right we might expect God to repay us - but that’s not how it works in God’s economy. Learn about the four keys to faith by Paul’s account of Abraham’s faith.

    Jesus causes the dead to live. He pursues us, faithful to His promises, abounding in love. Though trials and temptations come, God’s grace goes along with us. As Christians we can expect much struggle and suffering. Yet we can also expect to encounter great grace and joy.

     | 10,568 views

    Mary serves as an example of how to handle life when life doesn't go as expected--a great example. We all experience this sort of thing, and we find out--life doens't go as expected all the time. How would God have us respond?

    The Divine Advent(ure) How to Handle the Unexpected Luke 1:26-56 Have you ever noticed how life never seems to going exactly, or sometimes, even close to your plans? One of my favorite quotes is this one, apparently from an unbeliever: “Life is what happens when you’re making other plans.” And ...read more

    We tend to see only what we expect to see, and thus at Christmas we do not see the glory and majesty of the Christ child in the homeless, the downtrodden, the ashamed.

    They say that "seeing is believing". Well, that depends. That depends on whether you can trust your eyesight. And it depends on whether you have decided to see what is really there or just what you think is there. "Seeing is believing." It depends on whether you can trust your eyesight. My ...read more

     | 1,263 views

    The month of August prophetically symbolises a season of new beginnings. In the Bible, the number eight (August being the 8th month) represents a fresh start, a new order, and divine restoration.

    With all the issues on the table this election season, we as the Church need to take a stand for God's Word and what His Word says about these very issues.

    Today, I want to read from the book of Proverbs chapter 29, as I share with you the message, "Vote The Bible".
