"Remember Me"

Contributed by Gerald Roberts on Dec 14, 2012

This third Sunday of Advent I am sure God wants us to remember the real reason for the season.

“Remember Me” Luke 3: 15-16 1. The People during John’s days had already forgotten. • Jesus vs. 23 says Jesus is 30 years of age. The verses hint that they had forgotten who Jesus was. Remember several years earlier the angles introduced Jesus as the coming messiah. • Vs. 15 states the people ...read more

Barzillai Series

Contributed by Bala Samson on Jul 23, 2013

The word ‘help’ is pretty rare in a society that turns a blind-eye and deaf-ear to the cries and pleas of people in need! This being the scenario, ‘help during times of danger’ is a rare commodity that we seldom hear of.

Barzillai! 2 Samuel 19:32 ‘Now Barzillai was a very aged man, eighty years old. And he had provided the king with supplies while he stayed at Mahanaim, for he was a very rich man.’ The word ‘help’ is pretty rare in a society that turns a blind-eye and deaf-ear to the cries ...read more

Exodus 10 - No, I’m Not Interested In Partial Obedience! I Call The Shots! Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 25, 2009

"God, I’ll obey Your Word for my life, but...." Compromise! And God says, "No, I’m not interested in partial obedience. The consequences of partial obedience are just as devastating as no obedience." God says, "I want to call the shots!

Exodus 10 - No Compromise! I’ve been reading Exodus 10 this morning where God brings 2 more plagues to Egypt - swarms of locusts and total darkness, but Pharaoh’s heart is hardened.

The Devil's Agenda Series

Contributed by Shaila Touchton on Mar 4, 2024

As Christians, we are in a spiritual battle against a cunning, crafty, and powerful enemy - the devil.

We must acknowledge that our enemy, the devil, has a specific agenda. He wants to deceive and blind us, leading us away from the truth and into darkness. But as children of light, we must be aware of his tactics and stand firm in the truth. The devil wants to blind us with lies and shroud us in ...read more

Abusive Acts Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Nov 2, 2023

Here we have two pointed statements in this verse, one referring to the reviles at dignities, the other to the defilers of the flesh. Brute beasts can be smart but they obviously do not have spiritual knowledge. Their reasoning was no more advanced than that of animals' instincts.

Jude 1:10 - Abusive Acts Jude 1:10: “But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.” KNOW NOT & KNOW The word Know means to gain a firm mental grasp of something or to become acquainted with ...read more

Satan's Tactics Against The Godly

Contributed by Shaila Touchton on Mar 27, 2025

In this sermon, we will explore why, when, and how Satan sends people to assassinate our character, falsely accuse us, lie against us, and blame us.

As followers of Christ, we are not immune to the attacks of the enemy. In fact, the Bible warns us that Satan seeks to destroy our faith, our families, and our witness.
