What God expects of us – living by His example
Nov 23rd
Dearly beloved friends,
I am positive that almost all of us has asked this question to ourselves or to other elders of different churches, “What does God really expect of me? How can I please Him?” The answer is in the examples that Jesus has given us. Tonight, I would like to show you these examples – all of these examples by providing Scriptural reference. For the sake of scripture to be understood, I will be using the New International Version of the Bible.
Forgiveness
Jesus wants us to forgive all people – no matter what they’ve done to us. Jesus didn’t say this to give us a chore, but for our very own benefit. That way, we not only get the worry and the “bolder” off of our hearts, we also get forgiveness from God. Jesus said, “For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.” (Matthew 6:14-15) John 8:1-11 explains how Jesus reacted towards a woman who sinned against His own Father:

How do I become saved?
Nov 14th
Dear friends,
Often times we read in the Bible that Jesus speaks about getting Salvation and into the Kingdom of God. He said that He will tell many that he never knew them and to depart from Him. I would like to share with you a passage. In this, I will refer to the New International Version of the Bible to make things more clearer for each individual reader.
Luke 13:23-30 says:
23 Someone asked him, “Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?”
He said to them, 24 “Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. 25 Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’
“But he will answer, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from.’
26 “Then you will say, ‘We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.’
27 “But he will reply, ‘I don’t know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evildoers!’
28 “There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the More >
How big is your God?
Nov 11th
Brothers and Sisters in the Faith of the Lord Jesus Christ,
Have you ever noticed how most of the modern Churches will tell us how God doesn’t work today? They bog down, cage in, and trap in God’s power in everyone’s life. Often times, they tell us it is by our own power and strength we do the things we do. They also claim that miracles ceased with the Apostles long ago – otherwise saying God abandoned us. Tonight, I want to tell you Good News: Our God is ALIVE, He is CONCERNED for your life! More than you and I will ever realize.
David is a fine example
If we look in the books of first and Second Samuel, we can clearly see David had to have a lot of faith. In his early years, the Scriptures tells us he was a simple farm-hand, working under his father and nothing more (1 Samuel 16:12). He was also the youngest of all his brothers. The Prophet Samuel anointed David, and later on we read he became King of Israel.
Imagine this: You’re tending the flocks in an open green pasture. You’re working hard, probably sweaty (as most of us men do), and smelly too. More >
Are you ready for the second coming of Jesus?
Nov 6th
Friends and family in the Lord Jesus Christ:
I know that there is one thought that has entered into our minds at least a few times in our lifetime. The thought enters our minds because, by that question and the next action following it, we can become more pure and Christ like. This question is what we need to ask ourselves daily. We can always have improvement on ourselves; and by asking ourselves this one question, it will provide guidance for the answer and how to become more pure. Tonight, I would like to talk about this question: Am I ready for the second coming of Jesus?
Jesus says many times and mentions with His words and actions how He will not come at an expected time. (Yes, He is not returning in the start of 2012) Jesus went on to compare His coming to the days of Noah. No one really knew when the flood was coming. In fact, humanity kept on sinning and living in a non-repentant life. They thought it was a joke and harassed Noah and his family – they called him crazy, even. But the flood came, in an unexpected moment while they were partying, and only More >
Importance of Prayer
Sep 26th
Brothers and sisters,
It has come to my attention that there are many out there who do not pray, who do believe that prayer doesn’t work. Today, I would like to share with you all the importance of prayer. First by explaining how to pray, then by explaining the importance of it.
What is prayer?
First of all, it is important to understand what exactly prayer is. Prayer is a form of communication from us to God. Another word for prayer may be just like talking. You and I can talk anytime by either calling each other, texting, IM’ing each other, or by simply meeting some place. God has no cell phone. He has no computer. He has no messages or texting. This is where prayer comes in. It takes a lot of faith to pray to someone who is Unseen. But in all truth, the unseen things are the things which are eternal. (2 Corinthians 4:18)
Okay, so how do I exactly pray?
Jesus knew this answer would come up. I mean, we’re all praying to something we cannot see, right? Hard to understand because we as humans are used to using our five senses. Some people even claim they can’t pray because it is More >
