In this powerful message, we're challenged to embrace the true essence of an empowered church as seen in the book of Acts. The central theme revolves around being witnesses for Christ, not just in word but in action. We're reminded that the early disciples didn't just preach a reduced gospel, but lived out a kingdom gospel that turned the world upside down. This isn't about political power or earthly kingdoms, but about the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit working through us to redeem humanity. The message urges us to move beyond a private, comfortable faith and into a bold, transformative witness that impacts Jerusalem (our local community), Judea (our region), Samaria (our nation), and the ends of the earth. As we deny ourselves and embrace this calling, we're promised that God will move mightily through us, just as He did in Acts, resulting in salvations, healings, and Kingdom advancement.  Read More

This Easter message invites us to reflect on the profound theme of being 'Lost and Found.' We're reminded that all of us, like sheep, have strayed from God's path at some point in our lives. The beautiful truth is that Jesus came specifically to seek and save the lost. This isn't about condemnation, but about God's relentless love for us. The parable of the lost sheep in Luke 15 illustrates how valuable we are to God - He leaves the 99 to find the one. This challenges us to see ourselves through God's eyes: not as disappointments, but as treasures worth finding. The resurrection we celebrate isn't just about Jesus conquering death, but about our own spiritual rebirth. We're invited to embrace a new life in Christ, where our past doesn't define us. As we confess Jesus as Lord and believe in His resurrection, we too can experience the power of being made new. This Easter, let's respond to God's whisper calling us back to His path - a path of purpose, redemption, and abundant life.  Read More

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the heart of God's grace through the lens of Luke 15. We explore three parables: the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the prodigal son. These stories beautifully illustrate God's relentless pursuit of the lost, emphasizing that His love isn't based on our merit, but on His character. The message challenges us to see ourselves not just as the found '99', but as part of God's search party for the 'one'. It's a call to embrace our identity as those whom Jesus loves, and to extend that same radical, illogical grace to others. This perspective shift can transform how we approach our faith, our relationships, and our purpose in God's kingdom. As we prepare for Easter, let's remember that we're all prodigals welcomed home by a loving Father, and let's join in the celebration of every lost soul found.  Read More
