Brother Edward shares a timely message on our Eternal hope in Jesus Christ. Worship led by Anita:

The book of Ruth was written in the time of the judges. When corruption and moral perversion prevailed in Israel (10th century BC), a man named Elimelech lived in Bethlehem, Judea went to Moab with his wife and two sons during the Israel famine. In Moab his sons married Moabite women and after 10 years both of his sons died. He died too. After the death of Al-Malik and his sons, his wife Naomi, decided to return to Bethlehem so that she could live a better life there and be able to...

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Rom 15:13​ People keep their distance from someone who is unhappy Churchill was despondent and depressed. Men of God lost hope how important it is to know God of hope Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”Rom 4:18​ Abraham...

Have you got what it takes? – Looking at Moses and Paul. 11 He asked the Lord, “Why have you brought this trouble on your servant? What have I done to displease you that you put the burden of all these people on me? 12 Did I conceive all these people? Did I give them birth? Why do you tell me to carry them in my arms, as a nurse carries an infant, to the land you promised on oath to their ancestors? 13 Where can I get meat for all these people? They keep wailing to me, ‘Give us meat to...

“Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.” Colosians 3:1-3 Focus on The Lord Despondency is because we don’t meditate upon heavenly things. Christians shouldn’t focus on the blessings in This life. The Bible says we’ve just received the deposit Jesus has not returned...

Brother Charles shares a message on Jesus’s suffering on the cross. Jesus suffered loneliness, silence, pain and punishment. The perfect man who had committed no sin took on all the sins of mankind. God had forsaken him on the cross. Jesus paid the price for us all. God is merciful and just. Jesus satisfied the justice and wrath of God, so that he can now be merciful to us. Telestoy – Paid in full, Jesus paid the price in full for our iniquity and...

Let’s read through John 12: 1- 11. We want to look into 4 characters in this story and see if we can answer this question.   Before reading the passage I have to mention that 2 other gospels possibly refer to a similar story Mark 14: 3- 9 and Mathew 26: 6- 13.   Passover was celebrated every year in Jerusalem to commemorate the freedom of the Jews from captivity in Egypt. It is not clear whose house they were at. Some think it might have been Simon leper’s (ex-leper) house as it...

Trusting in God’s blessing in our lives, we need two things. * Belief in God* Belief in ourselves We need to both believe in God and belief and ourselves. “I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” Phil 4:13 God can not transform you without your consent. Focus on God’s blessings, working towards them and not distracted by anything else. Does’t matter where we have been or how bad it was, we can only change where we are going. If...

What is root of my unsatisfactory prayer ? Look to the LORD and his strength;seek his face always.” Psalm...

John 14:1 – Let not your heart be troubled. “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.”John 14:1 People are comforted by these words. Jesus sleeping on the boat in the storm. Disciples try waking him up. Do you not care that we are perishing, peace be still. Let not your heart be troubled, peace be still. Looking at this passage in the old testament where Jehoshaphat was facing the idol worshippers. 2 Chronicles...

Robert shares a message on Luke 15 – Responding to the Pharisees who were asking Jesus why he was associating with Sinners. Jesus gives 3 responses in the way of parables: * A Man found his lost sheep* A Woman finds her lost coin* A Father finds his lost son Look at the response to finding something lost, it is joy and rejoicing. When a Sinner confesses their sin there is rejoicing and there is a celebration. It brings Joy to the Lord as lost souls come to God. We may...

Hovan shares some insight into the pursuit of wisdom from Proverbs 2:6

Please accept our greetings in the name of the Lord. One of the beautiful names of God is the prince of peace. When Jesus was born, the angels announced that the birth of Jesus would bring peace on the earth. As the followers of Christ we are urged to seriously pray for peace in the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan. We need to pray that the war between these two countries come to an end, respecting the principles of human rights and international law. May there be peace...
