Scripture: Genesis 1:26 – 27 We are living in a world where man often has a crisis with identity and purpose. When we see the chaotic world today and anxious people all around us, it gives us great hope and perspective to understand God’s original plan for the world and man. We will explore some of the truths from the creation account in the Bible - the creation of man, his position in the creatio...

Scripture: Revelation 2:1-7 In Revelation 2, Jesus commends the Ephesians for their many good works and hard work. They tested teachers to see whether their professions were real; they endured hardship and persevered without growing weary. But they had lost their warmth and zeal for Christ, and when that happened, they began to “go through the motions” of good works, motivated not by the love of a...

Scripture: Jude : 24-25 Our God is Able. How does the bible describe our God to be able? What does it mean that God is able to keep us from stumbling?

Scripture: Acts 4:36 To encourage others is not just a suggestion from the Lord - It's a command. We might think that to encourage is to appreciate someone with a few sweet words and that's where it ends. But there is much more to it, as we see from the life of Barnabas, the Son of Encouragement. Are we intentional in encouraging others? Do we allow the Lord to use our lives to reach out to the li...

Scripture: Philippians 3:17-21 We are surrounded by, impacted by, and influenced by the people around us.  Who are we as believers called to emulate? Do we follow or allow to be influenced by the right people in our lives? Do people who watch our actions or those we mentor see Christ and the Gospel? While we live on this earth, our citizenship is in Heaven. Do we stop to remember the we don’t...

Scripture: Zechariah 7 In Zechariah 7 ,the Jewish people had been mourning and fasting. After they had returned from exile, a delegation of the people had come to the priests asking if they should continue to fast and mourn.

Scripture: Romans 12:1 What does it mean for us as believers to answer the call to be 'A Living Sacrifice'?

Scripture: James 4 13-17 Every one is impacted by the spread of the coronavirus. It has caused unprecedented events such as churches to shut down, and the economy to come apart. We are moving into a big recession that will cause millions of people to lose their jobs as commerce and production suddenly cease. This virus doesn't discriminate between nation, social status, race or ethnicity.  Am...

Scripture: Psalm 121 In Psalm 121, the psalmist's assessment of his situation reflects the place in which we all find ourselves. Our help comes only from the hill of the Lord — the Lord who made all the hills. All other hills we see before us in life can neither rescue us nor destroy us. When the hills in your life look like the solution to your pain or the source of your affliction, the psalmist...

Scripture: 1st Corinthians 15:1 - 11 The death of Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the Son of God, is the center of the gospel. Though the idea of glorying in the death of a Savior seems foolishness to the world, it is salvation to those who will believe. If Jesus died on the cross to pay for our sins and remove our guilt, then why is the resurrection of Jesus so important?

Scripture: Mathew 7:1-12 In the sermon on the Mount, Jesus points out the great flaw in our approach to change — and offers a more effective formula to inspire the transformation we seek. Changing others begins with changing ourselves What does Jesus mean when he calls people not to judge others? Does he mean he wants us to be undiscriminating between what is right and wrong? Or does he mean to si...

Because sin became part of the human nature in the Fall, we are prone to conflict, even conflict with those we love most. For that reason, we must wisely prepare for conflict because it will happen in the marriage union.

An elder is one of a plurality of biblically qualified men who jointly shepherd and oversee a local body of believers. The word translated “elder” is used nearly twenty times in Acts and the epistles in reference to this unique...

Scripture: 1 Peter 5:5-7 The Bible teaches us that "God opposes the proud" and that we should therefore "humble ourselves". But how do we do that? We can praise God that He did not just instruct us to be humble but also told us how. Let's together discover some practical steps to cultivate humility

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13 It is a child-like behavior to completely believe everything and place one's trust without question. Jesus also encouraged childlike behavior. In Mark 10:14-15, Jesus says "But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the k...

Scripture: Ecclesiastes 10:12-20 The topic about 'Fools' is not often sermonized. We all need to know how to deal with fools. And the reason is, that we all know at least one. And at some point in time, we too ourselves have acted the fool. Mark Twain quotes: "It is easier to fool people, than to convince them that they've actually been fooled". In the previous passages, Solomon warned us about th...

Most of us understand that He had to grow physically, He had to become strong, and grow older, but we struggle with Him growing spiritually and mentally. How could He grow spiritually? He was G...

1st Corinthians:13:13 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. Looking at this verse, let us consider these questions.  How has our faith in The Lord Jesus Christ been in the past year? What or on Whom does our hope lie on today? How have we shown love in the past year? And finally, how can we show love?

Galatians 4:4-5, Philippians 3:7-11 When we think of the Incarnation of The Lord Jesus, it is the most pivotal event in history. It reveals a thread throughout scripture that defines God's plan for the redemption of man. As we follow this thread from Genesis all the way to the crucifixion of Christ, we see a continuous celestial battle between God and Satan.

Scripture: 1st Samuel 8:1-9:14 We as Christians all believe in God's sovereignty. Yet, there are times when we find it difficult to cope with it or even understand it. And in trying to make sense of the undeniable presence of sin, along with the injustice and suffering it causes, many times we deny this essential truth.   But Scripture offers us considerable insight into how God's Sovere...

Scripture: Ecclesiastes 10:1 – 11 Lack of wisdom is also called as folly or foolishness. But generally when we think about the difference about one who is wise and another who is a fool, we often think the difference is in terms of intelligence. But one's intelligence or the level of education does not determine whether somebody is wise or a fool. There are many intelligent well educated people wh...

Scripture: Luke 12:16-34 At the foot hills of mt. Sinai God had commanded the Israelites to give Him exclusive devotion with no room for a compromise.
