The Simple Gospel Church

Today's teaching exposes us to wisdom and our lives as believers. How we should speak to quell anger, encourage, and bring grace to other people; how we should seek God's wisdom in all we do; and be joyful always by our words and our countenance everywhere we go

The text of today's teaching is taken from Deut 6:1—19, where we learn about the relationship between fear, love, and obedience. The Christian life is beyond every believer; our God is a God of continuity. Believers need to know the right estimation of who God is and who we are before Him. Our love for God is defined by sacrifice in studying God's word and practical and constant contact with the W...

Today's teaching gives us an insight into how to seek true (God's) wisdom. It teaches us how to receive His word as the truth, incline our ears to His wisdom, ask for insight, and abide and study His word daily so the Lord can give us an understanding of the fear of Him.

Today's teaching speaks about the power of our testimony. The words we speak are very powerful and can determine a lot in our lives. However, out testimony isn't just about what we say. We need to be able to confess the Word of God.

In the second part of our series for this month, our pastor speaks about another weapon of our warfare. Praise has always been a very key weapon in the past and it is still relevant today.

It’s a new month and an opportunity to hear the word of God. In this sermon, our pastor talks about how people used their experiences with God to boost their faith. This was the case for Caleb and he was rewarded by God for his faith. Rahab is another example of someone with outstanding faith. However, this was not always the case. The Israelites believed that they carried out their exploits by th...

Repentance is a great attribute that God loves in a believer. David is a good example of a repentant heart because he accepts his faults and also the consequences of his actions; he does not try to justify his wrongdoing, and finally, he humbles himself. This should be a good example to every believer who seeks to truly follow Christ.

In this deliverance teaching, our pastor teaches about how to deal with fear and how we need to depend on God's Word amongst other things in order to be delivered.

Today's teaching dives deeper into the life of David as a cheerful giver, a man who gives to God without any restrictions on his person, time, and resources—and holds nothing back.

We must give ourselves first, then our resources, time, skills, finances, et...

This teaching tells us about a man after God's heart and gives us insight and practical steps into David's life as he depended on God for everything. He did not rely upon his strength, power, bravery, or anointing but rested fervently on God.

A teaching of the parable of the prodigal son that teaches us about our dependence on God and how we can amount to nothing by ourselves.

As long as we are willing to humble ourselves, repent, and come back to Him for our safety and prosperity, all of our being lies in Him.

In this teaching, we look at the parable of the king and the banquet he organized for those who were worthy but did not attend.

A Bible Workshop on practical steps to Christian living.

This is a teaching on the parable of the owner of the vineyard and the laborers who thought the owner owed them. This primarily teaches us that God does not owe us anything and that we owe him everything. We should not think ourselves entitled to God's blessings, but we should see them as a privilege. We should do all we can for the Kingdom in our youth because a time will come when it will be too...
