Every Lord's Day is a day of corporate worship. We worship the Lord together because it is the right thing to do.   This morning, however, was extra special for us because we had prepared a missional-themed worship service. We considered Psalm 96:6-9. This Psalm teaches that God calls His chosen people, and even people from various tribes, tongues, and nations who do not know Him, to come to know...

Proverbs 3:5-6  Trust in the Lord with all your heart,     and do not lean on your own understanding.  In all your ways acknowledge him,     and he will make straight your paths.

Friendship is one of the most common and wonderful relationships we experience. What does the Bible teach about friendship, and how can we choose and be a better friend? We have a lovely example of friendship in Jonathan and David before us. 1 Samuel 18:1-5 - "As soon as he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. An...

" Peace & Joy In Every Circumstance" Series: Spiritual Depression - Our Fight For Joy Philippians 4:4-9 The peace of God is brought to us by the God of peace that surpasses all understanding.

Should we expect perfection from other people? Can we fall in...

Part 7 -  The call of Christ and challenges we face as Christians"   Series: Spiritual Depression - Our Fight For Joy   We may think that following Jesus is easy, but it is not. When we follow the Lord, we face the ideology, lies, and mockery of the world. There comes a new friction that we might not have anticipated in our lives. Following Jesus comes with a great cost. Sometimes, though, we may...

Part 6 - “A crisis of faith.”   Series: Spiritual Depression - Our Fight For Joy   Mark 4:35-41 Why did the disciple become fearful? Where was there faith when the big waves crashing into the boat? Why did Jesus rebuke them by saying that they lacked faith?  Let’s find out.  We too may lack faith at times. But the Lord Jesus tells us to be faithful in spite of challenging circumstances. 

Part 5 - Frustrated  With God   Series: Spiritual Depression - Our Fight For Joy   John 6:60-71 - Following Jesus for who He is and not just for what He gives.  This particular sermon again, is not based on the chapter of the book.

Part 2 - " A Firm Foundation"   Series: Spiritual Depression - Our Fight For Joy   Understanding the doctrine of Justification by Fatih is important.

A short devotion that I led at church from John 3:1-15 as we tend to get unbelievers attending our fellowship time to time.  We preach about the new birth because Jesus tells us to do so. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." - John 3:16 (ESV)
