    We Need A Clean Up

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Feb 25, 2023
     | 1,538 views

    Devil is not shaken by looks, language skills, talents, music skills, education, bank balance or outward demeanor; however, he does fear a man who is holy and close to God. Amen.

    WE NEED A CLEAN UP Where are Hezekiahs’ 2 Kings 18: 1 “….Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah became king. 2 He was twenty-five years old when he became king …” There are no magic bullets for the woes we face today: gigantic idols, drugs, lust, porn, violence, greed, bribe and ugly social ...read more

    Things We Value In Ministry Series

    Contributed by Manny Salva Cruz on Feb 28, 2016
     | 13,302 views

    Ministry work should be done by every Christian not just for pastors and church leaders. In this message, we will learn from the life of Deborah three things that can help us as we minister to God, to the Christians and to the unbelievers.

    Many of us think of ministry as the work done by pastors, by missionaries, by Christian Conference speakers or evangelists. We rarely think that work done by bankers, by lawyers, by engineers or homemakers can also be considered as ministry. We have a wrong notion that only those who get their ...read more

    Why Should I Follow Jesus? Series

     | 3,634 views

    Some of world’s greatest discoveries were initially rejected. We can reject the very thing that would be the best help for us - make the biggest difference - but we convince ourselves we do not need it. What about Jesus?

    Why Should I Follow Jesus? Mark 12:1-17 Introduction Some of world’s greatest discoveries were initially rejected. “This is typical Berlin hot air. The product is worthless.” Rejection letter sent to Felix Hoffmann who invented aspirin. Heinrich Dreser was standing by his ‘star’ painkiller - ...read more

    Divine Irony: Idol Worship Still Exists In The 21st Century Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,039 views

    Divine Irony: Idol Worship Still Exists in the 21st Century. In 1 Kings 18:27 Elijah mocks the prophets of Baal, exposing the futility of idol worship - a topic that remains relevant despite the passage of centuries.

    Divine Irony: Idol Worship Still Exists in the 21st Century 1 Kings 18:27 (NLT): "About noontime Elijah began mocking them. 'You’ll have to shout louder,' he scoffed, 'for surely he is a god! Perhaps he is daydreaming, or is relieving himself. Or maybe he is away on a trip, or is ...read more

    Whose Fault Is It?

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Jan 19, 2010
    based on 11 ratings
     | 11,203 views

    Catastrophes happen. As Christians, we need to be careful when assessing the cause of tragedy. It is natural to ask, “Who or what is to blame when tragedy or disaster strikes?” Let us examine this issue.

    Whose Fault Is It? Luke 13:1-5; John 9:1-3 When catastrophes or tragedies strike quite often we become like the disciples in John 9 when they met a man blind from birth. Their immediate reaction was that it was the judgment of God upon either this man or his parents. When the devastating ...read more

    Stand Firm And Work Hard Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Apr 16, 2022
     | 3,121 views

    'Stand firm and work hard' might seem a very strange Easter message. But it's Paul's key message in 1 Corinthians 15 - the longest passage on the resurrection in the Bible. The resurrection gives us hope - and that hope gives us reason to stand firm and work hard.

    Easter Sunday is the day when we celebrate the fact that God raised Jesus from death. When I say WE celebrate the fact that God raised Jesus from the dead, I mean, WE IN THIS CHURCH celebrate it. Clearly, a lot of other people DON'T celebrate it. A few years ago the Daily Telegraph conducted ...read more

    “Why is there suffering in the world?" is the #1 question people would like to ask God. There are some answers we can give to that question.

    Faith Under Fire Part I Why Does God Allow Suffering? Lee Strobel Life ought to come with a list of side effects.

     | 5,316 views

    Too often in the church brothers & sisters prey on one another instead of praying for one another. I know God answers prayer because He’s answered mine. We have no greater resource, source of comfort than getting on our knees in prayer

    Why God Answers Prayer Dr. Mike Fogerson September 2, 2012 Introduction A 13 Is anyone among you suffering? Then he must pray. Is anyone cheerful? He is to sing praises.14 Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with ...read more

    When non-Christians were asked what is their biggest barrier to faith, the number one answer among Americans was the following, “I have a hard time believing a good God would allow so much evil or suffering in the world.”

    Today, we conclude a four-week look at one of the most interesting people in history – the man named Job. Job is a really good man. God even calls him, “…a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil …”(Job 1:8). He’s so good in fact, that God tells Ezekiel years later: ...read more
