Eternity

How do we prepare our lives so that we can go to eternity?

John 3:16 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 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

You need to believe in Christ and ask Him to forgive your sins, once your sins are forgiven as you accept Jesus as your Savior, you become a child of God. 

End of the Age

Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

When the end is going to come?

It can come at any moment.  Most of the prophecies spoken by the prophets are already fulfilled.  The world is getting ready for the end.  When we talk about the end of the age, there are two major events going to take place
- Coming of the Lord
- The major destruction upon this earth

But today is the day of salvation!

Demonstration of God's Love

Romans 5:7-8

7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

- The Cross is a place where God demonstrated His love

- The Cross is a place where sinners like me and you can find that the life is worth living, because someone is there to love me.

Christmas Message

Let this Christmas bring real meaning in our lives as we receive Jesus Christ in our hearts and lives.

There is no other gift we will receive that is as precious as receiving Jesus Christ. 

Call upon Me

Call upon God.  Not to any man or woman, but to God.

Today if we have a trouble we call the help line.

- 911 for emergency health & safety
- 811 for non-emergency health information
- 311 for non-emergency municipal government services

Sometime we share with someone else, or we cry to people. Or we go and find a lawyer or we go to the doctor.  Before doing all these, God is asking us to call Him.

Nothing is hard for Him, He is your creator.

Balm of Gilead

Jeremiah 8:22 Is there no balm in Gilead, Is there no physician there? Why then is there no recovery For the health of the daughter of my people?

As we read Jeremiah Chapter 8, the Spirit of God reveals these points very clearly:

- People are not willing to go to Gilead to get healed
- People are seeking alternate methods of recovery

Today we see the same trend among Christians. Don't seek alternate ways, come back to Jesus. 

He is calling you today.  Let Him apply His precious blood, the balm of Gilead so that you will be set free.

 

Adam Where are You?

Several thousand years have passed by since the time of creation. Still these same words echo within the hearts of men and women.  God calling our names and asking us where are you?

What is our reaction today?

God has given you a commission as you live on the earth.  Do not ignore God.  Do not ignore Sunday service, do not ignore fellowship with God's children.  You are responsible for your soul and the souls of your children.

Abraham Believed

If God can create something out of nothing,
If God can call those things that don't exist into existence, He can also make your sickness disappear.
He can also remove your problem completely.

 Abraham believed, we need to believe.

A Plan for you

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

- First of all, it is good to know that He has a plan for us
- Secondly, His plans as to prosper us, not to harm us
- Thirdly, His plans are to give us hope and future

His plan is the best plan for you.
