    Ignorance about spiritual warfare is a disaster and when things go wrong, people are caught in the enemy’s web.

    There was a brother called Lucky. He knew the Bible but not very fervent. One day, he was about to go to work and he prayed the usual three- minute prayer. The Holy Spirit asked him to continue and he did. After a few minutes, he decided to stop and goes to work. At the bus stop, he ...read more

    So you think there is only one abominable sin? Hmm, what if you are wrong and you are committing one?

    If I use the word abomination from the pulpit what would come into your mind? Maybe 1% of you that are ardent prophecy students might think of the abomination of desolation that will happen in the middle of the Tribulation. I suspect the other 99% will think of homosexuality because 99% of the ...read more

    This message compares the biblical plan for leadership with some of the wrong turns we have taken in the area of church leadership.

    Over the years we have managed to lose sight of God’s plan for leadership in the church. In fact we have modeled the leadership structure of the church more after our nation’s government than the Biblical plan. Our leadership strategies have the tendency to look more like corporate America instead ...read more
