The devil likes nothing more than to confuse and disrupt the rational minds. He thrives in confusion and double mindedness. As Christians we must strive for right thinking, especially in times of crisis. As we seek Gods wisdom and direction, with things our minds can’t comprehend, he gives us revelation.

The most hopeful statement we can receive from our saviour is, your sins are forgiven. Many of us spend our entire lives holding on to things that end up destroying our lives. This is the hope of the gospel. Come to Jesus and He will heal you.

With the on going pandemic, fear is at an all time high. Yet what is the right response of Christ like Christians of today. Our scripture reveals fear brings torment and torment is not of God. There is a hope and it’s not found in a medicine man can provide.

Many fail to understand that we are multi dimensional creatures. Our inability to be able to check and deal with each dimension causes a breakdown in our lives. The gospel brings this to life and highlights the correlation between all. If we choose to obey and apply this principle we will inherently be blessed.

Most people base their human existence on the mere hope that luck will fall on them. This mythical mindset has been the cause for much heart ache but also because of its effects on us personally. We can’t allow the mindset of luck to bleed into our Christian thinking process. Understand God knows and orchestrates all things, it’s for us to submit and obey, this experiencing His blessing and protec...

Many of us go through life trying our best to achieve all that we desire. We can transfer this mentality into our spiritual walk with Jesus. The fact is that we can not do anything to achieve salvation. What we find is that because God seeks an atonement between us and Him. It’s only through Jesus that we can achieve and accomplishing anything desirable.

Many are paralysed by indecisiveness paralysis. The power that caused the mind to become overwhelmed and therefore prefers to run away rather than want to fight. Our hope is knowing we have Heavenly Father that is fighting for us.

Worry is an emotion that can cloud our judgment and consume our days. Jesus challenges us to live for the day. In other words, not to allow our worry’s of yesterday to come into today. This may seem impossible but there are some strategies we can apply in order to be able to not become overwhelmed by worry.

We all can grow impatient at times, especially when waiting for promises from God. Yet the path to the promise land is always one that involves us following His guidance and refusing to race ahead. The consequences far outweigh the hardships we face while waiting.

Gratitude is an attitude that we all must exercise. If we are not careful we will no longer appreciate the things Jesus has done in our lives. Truth is we are for ever in debt to our Heavenly Father and many times all he asks of is our loyalty.

There are so many things in life that cause us to want to love life always looking down. But if we only look downwards, we will miss out on everything God has for us in the future. The challenge is to remember who God is, what he has done in the past he can do in our future.

There are many illustrations in the word of God regarding flames or fires. A flame can also describe a drive or passion inside of us. One thing we learn in this sermon is that when ever selfish desires overpower Godly desires the flame dies. It’s striving for godliness that ensures the flame stays alive and we achieve what God has for us

We have all fallen into the trap of starting something but never fully completing it. When it comes to our Christian walk we can do the same, the challenge for us to stay focused on the will of God is one we all have to face. Yet the rewards far outweigh the sacrifice.

With the current climate the world is faced with today, it’s getting harder not to worry. Yet Jesus makes a bold statement that many question, look over or despise. Don’t worry! Will you trust Jesus and rely that what he says is true?

There has been a sudden change in the perception of the church today. Seen by people as a half way house, motel and social gathering. Truth is there is a greater power and profound meaning to the church and if obtained becomes the source to establishing Gods kingdom on this earth.

Staying pure is not automatic, it takes a conscience decision everyday. The temptation of allowing yourself to fall into our previous life of carnality can be a constant battle. But purity is at root of Jesus’ resurrection, Jesus overcame sin and death now we have a hope of a new life of purity.

The moment we get saved our spirit comes to life and it’s filled with the supernatural power of God. What lies there is an incredible potential, the ability to accomplish the work of God. If you truely desire to be used by God, you can be, everyone is a potential candidate. All you have to be willing to pray is “Lord, help me to be your hands and feet.” Watch as how God can inspire and help you to...

Something we all struggle with is being able to see the bigger picture. Many times we neglect to understand that the big picture is linked to those who have gone before us. Our ability to take council from those wise elders helps us in discovering our destiny in the kingdom of heaven.

With all the uncertainties we face in our every day life, mans search for stability becomes a priority. Yet there are still things that we will all have to face, the good news is that with Gods help there is a way of escape. What we have to do is honour Him and God will do what he does best, provide.

The biggest challenge we can all face as servants of the Lord, is being willing to serve with a right heart in obscurity. Joseph had to endure this reality, and his conduct would be the deciding factor. Favour is something difficult to obtain but when obtained can be a great asset for the kingdom of God.

There is a gripping reality that we can’t escape, that is, someone is always watching. One thing that challenged me as a father is the reality of my children being a product of who I am. The principle is you teach what you know, you disciple who you are. Who are your disciples? What do they do? How do they act?

Gods ways are not our ways that’s for sure. There are so many things that we allow to go unnoticed. Yet the same isn’t true about our God. There isn’t one cry that falls on deaf ears. Even when that cry comes from someone that doesn’t seem like a possible candidate for a miracle. Yet we serve a good God that shows no partiality and is willing and able to bring answers when we cry out to him.

Life has its challenges, these challenges if negative can cause us to recoil, become withdraw and hesitant to take risks. We see the disciples all where in a time of crisis, thinking they were going to die but Jesus was there with them. The difference was he was outside the boat. What are you willing to do to be closer to Jesus? This requires faith.

2020 is upon us and it’s another year to be able to learn and grow into all that God has for us. Our years challenge is to not leave one month where it would go to waste. This year I feel led by God to focus on four areas in our lives; 1. A life skill 2. A life lesson from Jesus 3. Memory verse 4. A word study. As we apply ourselves this year I believe God will help us grow and we will be able to...

A lot can happen in one year, for good or bad. There are things that we have learned and there are things we are trying to unlearn. Despite where life may have taken you, the good news is that God is in the business of rebuilding. There is nothing too impossible for God, if we let him in to our lives.
