    Where Will God Take You?

    WHere is God taking you to. A fresh understanding to help us move forward in GOd’s direction

    Where will God take you? Luke 2:26-28 When you say, "It’s time for us to move, not just feed," the flock will mumble. But a pastor, by definition, is a shepherd who is not only feeding, but also is taking people somewhere. My goal in preaching is to help people capture God’s vision and align ...read more

    The Rewards Of Obedience Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jun 24, 2009

     | 19,892 views

    When we obey God, it does not mean everything will be fine, but it does mean God will see us through. Obedience is a choice we make. Be prepare to pay a price but it’s worth it. God will do His part; there is a divine partnership in obedience. Obedience

    There is a similarity between this incident and that of Acts 4. • But this time it’s not just Peter and John being arrested, the whole group of the apostles were arrested for preaching the gospel. • Once again they make it clear that the necessity of their lives is to obey God, not men; therefore ...read more

    In The Mist Of The Sea

    Contributed by Martin Holland on Mar 30, 2012

     | 5,535 views

    The Bible often refers to the population of people as the sea. I find in the scriptures the parallel between the troubles in this life as the trouble sea. How do we sail the sea of life?

    In The Mist of Sea With Jesus Matt. 14:22-33 Jesus spent most of His ministering around the Sea of Galilee which is also called the Sea of Tiberias. After the feeding of the 5,000 He sends His disciples unto the other side toward Capernaum, but unto Bethsaida the northern part of the sea. And ...read more

    En las pruebas pasamos o reprobamos; ¿qué es lo que determina el resultado?

    TRIUNFA SOBRE LAS PRUEBAS Santiago 1:1-12 Las pruebas vienen a todas las personas. Tu actitud en las pruebas revela si tu fe es fuerte o débil o no existe o como lo dice Santiago: si tienes una fe viva o muerta; si tu fe es genuina o pirata (copiada de otros).

    Walking Headlong Into Trouble Series

    What do you do when you know trouble is coming? Do you run the other way as fast as you can? Paul didn’t and his example helps us when we face difficulty or when those close to us face trials.

    Did trouble take Paul by surprise? It shouldn’t have. Back in Acts 9, right at his conversion, Jesus made it clear to then Saul what his future would be like. He told Ananias, who was sent to pray for Saul, “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings ...read more

    Trials and Tribulations should build our character not our list of complaints!

    I AM SURE WE HAVE HEARD MANY PHRASES IN REGARDS TO PESSIMISM SUCH AS “SEEING THE GLASS HALF-EMPTY INSTEAD OF HALF-FULL,” OR “YOU CAN’T SEE THE FOREST FOR ALL THE TREES.” WHATEVER THE SAYING, UNGRATEFULNESS AND PESSIMISM DO NOTHING TO HELP OUR DISPOSTION OR RAISE OUR SPIRITS.

    In football, most of the plays are called by the coaches. It used to be done by signs. The quarterback would get the signs and relay those to his team in the huddle. Now a lot of that is done with technology - the helmet has an audio feature so he can get a play that way... But often, the play that ...read more
