    Why was Jesus called the LAMB of God? Why did God choose that animal to represent what Jesus would mean to us?

    (We began the sermon by singing the hymn: “O Lamb Of God”) “Your only Son no sin to hide, but You have sent Him from Your side; To walk upon this guilty sod and to become the Lamb of God; (2nd vs) Your gift of love they crucified, they laughed and scorned Him as He died; The humble King they named ...read more

    You cry, “Why doesn’t God rescue me?” you cry, and the question echoes back. “Why?” I believe there are at least nine reasons why God sometimes chooses not to rescue us.

    When God Doesn’t Rescue—He’s Always Up To Something. 2 Corinthians 7:5TPT I’m going to begin by telling you what’s behind the scenes of this one verse that sums-up the apostle Paul’s fears and troubles. Here we read about the uncertainty of the Apostle Paul, his mind was filled with the deepest ...read more

    Why does God allow sin?

    We are doing a series of messages surrounding the truth from Romans 3:23 which states “All have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God”! As we noted last week, this is a truth we need to deal with, especially as we anticipate the return of Jesus Christ to earth. Each one of us sins and the whole ...read more

    Jesus is looking for people to stand in the gap, who will go for him, let us pray for the Lord of the harvest, that the harvest is ready and plenty but the labourers are few

    Luke 19:41-44 Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it, saying, “If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace!

    A look at whether Jonah died in the whale as well as what the specific significance of the "sign of Jonah" is.

    WHAT IS THE SIGN OF JONAH? Is the point that Jonah was in the whale or that Jonah was dead? - Matthew 12:38-40. - The point of the miracle is less the miracle of being in a whale or the specific time frame (“three days and three nights”) and more the miracle of resurrection.

    What do we mean when we pray "deliver us from evil"?

    People have always been divided about Jesus. I have known folks who are so “sold-out” to Jesus they drive everybody else crazy.

    A Prayer For God’s Will

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 6, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,121 views

    When it comes to praying for God’s will, we often find ourselves at a loss for words. Perhaps, the way to make the greatest impact is to ask for a blessing; to pray for the spiritual and material resources we need to enlarge the kingdom.

    I’ve entitled our message this morning “A Prayer for God’s Will.” When we think of God’s will we often have in mind how the Lord wants to use us for His glory; how God wants to include us in His plans and work through us to make an impact for the kingdom. But when it comes to praying for God’s ...read more

    Helping believers to understand that the foremost purpose of prayer is to draw the pray"er" closer to God.

    The Purpose of Prayer Hebrews 10:19-23 Intro: Since we understand that prayer is not intended to "change God’s mind", why does prayer exist? The answer is, first of all, to draw the one praying closer to God, among other things. See Phil. 4:6-7 (esp. Vs. 7) 1. Access (19) We achieve access into ...read more
