The fear of giving God full control of our resources can leave us battling with anxiety, which can easily cloud our thinking and hinder us from joyfully trusting and obeying God.

For many the pursuit of a secure future, through the accumulation of wealth dictates many of life’s choices and decisions, leading to a lack of contentment and rest.

How can we know if this is true in our lives too? Ribu Samuel preaches ‘Being...

Pastor Isaac Thomas preaches ‘Gospel Boldness’, from Luke 12:1-12, as we together review ou...

We know what it means to live life in the fast lane, as we constantly succumb to the need to multi-task whether at school, home, work, or even in ministry.

Pastor Isaac Thomas preaches ‘Only One Thing is Needed’ from Lu...

It’s the holiday season! A time of getting away from the routines of work & study, and a much anticipated time of rest & renewal.

Following Jesus is the most joyful aspect for one who trusts and believes in Jesus. Yet, many of us fail to experience the joy in doing so, especially when we face difficult circumstances or when things do not go according to our plans.

What changed between Luke 9 & 10? What seems to have finally started to fall in place in their hearts, regarding the power of faith? And, what critical truth is Jesus pointing us to, in this week’s passage? Pastor Isaac Thomas preaches ‘True Joy of a Disciple’ from Luke 10-17-22.

Many in Jesus’ day lived under a false assurance of salvation, one that is prevalent among Christians even now.
