    Have you ever stopped to wonder what could possibly bring tears to the eyes of God? Can you imagine the face of Jesus, moist with his own tears? Are they tears of weakness or of strength? Of fear or compassion?

    TITLE: JESUS WEPT SCRIPTURE: ST. JOHN 11:35 This is the shortest verse in the Bible -- “JESUS WEPT.” But for all its grammatical simplicity, it’s packed with unfathomable complexity. No book has a higher Christology, the study of Christ, than the Gospel of John. His persistent focus on ...read more

    Powerless Religion Or Spirit-Filled Life

     | 573 views

    The sermon challenges believers to reject hollow religiosity and instead pursue a Spirit-filled life marked by inward transformation, daily surrender, and the visible fruit of the Holy Spirit.

    Powerless Religion or Spirit-Filled Life 2 Timothy 3:1-5; Ephesians 5:15-18; Galatians 5:22-26 In an age when appearance often replaces authenticity, and spiritual reputation can mask spiritual emptiness, we must ask ourselves how does one identify the highly religious among us? Is it not often ...read more

     | 506 views

    I’d like to introduce a new word that is rarely heard in theological circles, but it’s a word that will help us understand God’s purpose in the in-betweens of life that we looked at last week. And I’d like to expand on this idea looking at living life in the meanwhile.

    Elevate to the Next Level “Living in the Meanwhile” Genesis 37:36 Watch on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KHIZTJrdTA As we continue in our series of taking discipleship, our discipleship, our becoming more like Jesus Christ, taking it to the next level, I’d like to ...read more

    Can true Christians sin so as to loose all hope of restoration?

    Introduction Hebrews 6:4-6 has given rise to much controversy and the opinion of commentators and of the Christian world is fiercely divided about its meaning. Some hold that the passage is not intended to describe true Christians, but only those who have come close to salvation and then fell back. ...read more

     | 22,458 views

    People are managing the affairs they know little or nothing about. For instance, there are teachers who should be students, deliverance ministers who need deliverance, “great men and women of God” who should be learning how to be true followers of Christ.

    A tragic story once occurred of a woman and her son walking along a river bank. The woman was in her latter stage of pregnancy and held her toddler son by the hand as they journeyed. Suddenly, the little boy slipped and fell into the river! The woman in her condition could not jump into the river ...read more

    Being restored after going through some trials.

    Many of us know the major stories that come out of the life of David, and I pray at least some of the applications that flow out of those stories would help us in our own lives. When we look at a small portion of Davis’s resume’ we see how • David was anointing as King. • We can look back on the ...read more

    Discrimination and division make us sick and ill-grown church. Today, Jesus the saviour of the humanity, invites each one of us to involve ourselves wherever humanity suffers.

    Jesus will never ever unfollow you! (Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time) Isaiah 56:1, Isaiah 56:6-7, Romans 11:13-15, Romans 11:29-32, Matthew 15:21-28. Reflection Dear sisters and brothers, Let me start the reflection for this Sunday quoting from an article. “One case of a tragic ...read more

    There Is One Faith Series

     | 2,157 views

    Ephesians 4:5 says that there is “One Faith”. But there seems to be more. If someone says, “Have faith.” We need to ask, “Have faith in what?” We operate on faith every day. Just not always in God.

    Alba 4-23-2023 THERE IS ONE FAITH Ephesians 4:5 Some years ago in the cartoon “The Family Circus” two children had found their Easter baskets and are enjoying them. One asked, “Who colored all these eggs?” to which his sister replied, “The Easter bunny.” “Who gave us the jelly beans?” “The ...read more

     | 2,745 views

    What is Jesus’s teaching about “repent or perish” telling us? Is it not the same as saying choose life or choose death? Today we will talk about tragedy and repentance.

    REPENT OR PERISH Text: Luke 13:1-9 Luke 13:1- 9 At that time, some people who were there told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.  (2)  He asked them, "Do you think that these Galileans were more sinful than all the other Galileans because ...read more

     | 2,688 views

    Some keep God at a convenient distance. Calling on Him only when they want something in return or they need Him to pull them out of trouble. Israel was good at this and it’s the reason why they and we too find ourselves in the mess we’re in!

    Introduction While visitng one of our Church members, in the middle of our conversation their phone rang and I watched as they glanced over and checked their caller ID & they immediately said to me, "It’s O.K. Pastor I’ll call them back.." Within a few minutes though, it rang again and I said, ...read more

    The Plan of God to reconcile His Children back to Him through the Cross of Jesus Christ.

    The Roman soldiers, Jewish leaders, the tree, the flagrum and the crown of thorns used against the Lord Jesus were all created by The Creator, His Father.
