A study on Ephesians 4:17-32, this is the third in a series on how to clean up our lives by stopping what’s wrong, changing our thinking, and starting to do what’s right.

We’ve been dealing with the subject of spring cleaning, and today, Lord willing, we will finish it—mostly because we have now officially entered Summer.

Kinahinatnan Ng Tsismis

Contributed by James Dina on Aug 25, 2020

KINAHINATNAN NG TSISMIS "Bukod dito, nakasanayan na nilang maging tamad at umuwi na sa bahay. At hindi lamang sila ay maging tamad, kundi pati na rin mapangtsismis at busykatawan, nagsasabi ng mga bagay na hindi sila dapat sa ...read more

But It’s Only Words

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Aug 10, 2021

We often dismiss our words because actions are what really matter. This sermon looks at some of the warnings the Scripture gives us about the dangers of our words.

Your words reveal who you are. - Matthew 12:34-35. - We deny this: “I said it but that’s not who I am.” Like when we lie or burst out in anger. 2. Your words ...read more
