    Too often, Christians can become so busy in their lives that they choke the word of God out of it. Too many of us are the thorny soil at times. This sermon helps us remember what our priorities should be.

    Often as Christians, we need to take a step back from our busy lives to examine where we are as Christians. We need to ask ourselves many questions: Have I been growing? Is that growth visible to others? Am I more holy this month or year than I was last year? These are all important questions we ...read more

    If we allow worries and riches and pleasures of life instead of focusing on God’s Word, our lives will be suffocated, held back, even taken over and not have a life of significance.

    We have been studying the Gospel of Luke and we have been learning from the parable of the Sower and the Seeds. What’s a parable? Picture this in your mind for a moment; it is early in the morning in the Philippines, you’re in a large room where several hundred people are seated; they are all ...read more

     | 1,053 views

    The fog has rolled into western culture and choked out intimacy with God. The fog hinders and blocks us from being in an intimate relationship with God. The fog drives us to choose to hide from God rather than seek out His presence! But Jesus is seeking us out even in the fog!
