The Two Judgments Seats of God – Choose Life Today!

22 January 2026 admin Comments Off

In a world full of uncertainty, one truth stands eternal: God is holy, just, and loving. He created us for relationship with Him, but sin has separated us from that perfect fellowship. The Bible tells us that “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23), and the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). But here’s the good news—the Gospel: God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for our sins, rise from the dead, and offer us eternal life as a free gift through faith in Him. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). Salvation isn’t earned by good works; it’s received by trusting in Jesus alone (Ephesians 2:8-9 – “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast”).

Why should I believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ?

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ: Why We Believe It, and Why It Matters for You Today

18 January 2026 admin Comments Off

Dear friend, if you’re hearing the gospel for the first time, or if you’ve heard it before but wondered why Christians are so convinced, this message is for you. And if you are already a believer, let this be an encouragement to stand firm in the hope we have. The gospel is not just a set of religious claims we accept “because the Bible says so.” No—we believe because there is powerful, objective evidence that demands a verdict. Christianity is rooted in historical events that can be examined, not blind faith or wishful thinking. At the centre of it all is the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. If that didn’t happen, our faith is worthless (1 Corinthians 15:14). But it *did* happen—and here’s *why* we know it. […]

The Miracle of the Moment You Believe:

14 January 2026 admin Comments Off

Have you ever wondered what actually happens the instant a guilty sinner truly believes the gospel of Jesus Christ? We often hear phrases like “saved by grace” or “born again,” but the Bible describes a far more radical, instantaneous, and irreversible transformation than most of us realize. It is not a slow process of self-improvement. It is a divine miracle: the old you dies, and an entirely new you is born—seated in heavenly places, free from every curse, and clothed with the authority of Christ Himself.

Let’s look closely at what Scripture says happens the moment you believe. […]

God’s Amazing Grace: Wake Up to the Wonder!

13 January 2026 admin Comments Off

Brothers and sisters, friends—listen to me! I’m not here today to give you a dry lecture. I’m here to shout from the rooftops about the greatest news the world has ever heard: **GRACE!** God’s astonishing, breathtaking, undeserved grace! Grace is not a polite religious word. Grace is the roaring love of God crashing into the lives of guilty, helpless sinners like you and me, rescuing us when we deserved nothing but judgment! Ephesians 2:8–9 thunders it: **“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast!”** This is the heartbeat of the gospel—God’s grace, free and glorious!

The Fivefold Ministry: Gifts for Some, to Equip All

3 January 2026 admin Comments Off

“And He gave some as apostles, some as prophets, some as evangelists, some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.” […]

Can Women Be Pastors?

2 January 2026 admin Comments Off

This is a deeply controversial issue in the church today, with sincere believers on both sides seeking to honor God’s Word. As you read this teaching, approach it prayerfully and openly—ask the Holy Spirit to speak directly into your conscience, illuminate His truth, and guide you personally. It is vital that we allow the Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth (John 16:13), rather than simply accepting or rejecting the teachings of men. Test everything against Scripture (Acts 17:11), and let the Lord confirm what aligns with His heart. […]
