    Grace, peace, blessing, keeping. God desires wonderful things for His faithful people! Blessing is a term that gets misused a lot - this sermon explores what it really means.

    Have you ever noticed how the apostle Paul opens every one of his letters by wishing his readers “grace and peace”? It is also present in both of Peter’s letters, one of John’s and Revelation. When they said, “grace and peace” these Biblical writers were not merely using a polite form of words to ...read more

    Our Commission from the Lord is to “go and make disciples” of all nations (peoples). Jesus loves the Lingayats and has a desire for the Lingayats to know the truth of His saving power.

    God desires a Dwelling place among us. In all that we do, even in His name, do we create a dwelling place for God in our hearts and lives?

    A Dwelling Place for God (Exodus 25:8) If you were invited to house-sit you could not make any substantial changes in the house while you were there because the house would not belong to you.

    Abiding In Perfect Love

     | 5,748 views

    It is the desire of the heavenly Father for His people always to experience the full inheritance of His covenant love and mercy. The Apostle John calls such a place of attainment in God “perfect love”.

    It is truly amazing to think of the mercy and forbearance that God bestows upon sinners. Undoubtedly, the Lord has the power to cut off our very existence. The Scripture affirms, “Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust” (Psalm ...read more

    It is God’s desire to be with man, not separated from him. From Genesis to Revelation, He sought to be with man. This is His most frequent promise in the Bible. Are you willing to be with Him?

    Like father, like son. Yes it is true; however, we know that God supplies grace to break generational curses. Jesus desires us to be God’s children.
