1 Chronicles 17:1-19 - One of the most powerful descriptions of God in the Bible is that given by the Apostle Paul in Ephesians 3:20, where he described God as “Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think.”

Song of Songs 8:6-7 - Love is a key that binds a couple together, and without it Marriage loses its savour. It is a burning fire kindled at the beginning of marriage, when it burns with great intensity.

Genesis 3:6-9 - Just as the concept of the fatherhood of God over His creation is undeniably the hub of the universe without which everything fall apart, so is the fatherhood responsibility of the male man in the sustenance of the family (especially the Christian family) in line with the divine purpose.

2 Samuel 6:1-15 - After David had secured the kingship in Israel, he moved his palace from Hebron to Jerusalem and named it the "City of David". Thereafter, he felt strongly compelled to also bring the Ark of God to Jerusalem. Unfortunately, as the transporting party progressed, the oxen stumbled and Uzzah, one of the three men guiding the oxen touched the ark to steady it.

Ephesians 4:1-13 - God has called us as believers to come into His fullness, by sending His Son (Jesus Christ) to die for us and also giving us the privilege to walk with Him through faith in Jesus.

Exodus 2:9 - The theme for this year’s Children Sunday is, Nurse Him for Me. This theme reveals and reminds us of God’s given responsibilities to us parents

Genesis 16:1-16 - One of the challenges that we face in our quest for divine elevation is impatience. Impatience is the emotion that gets tired of waiting; that gets fed up with something that delays us; that arouses us to act or react before we should. This was what happened to Abram and Sara. They became impatient in waiting for the promised seed, the son promised by God. What, then, can we learn about impatience? First, the causes of impatience (v.1-2). Sara illustrates several of the major factors that cause us to be so impatient.

Exodus 2:1-10 - The word available means to be accessible, on hand, easy to obtain or free to do something. In essence, we are saying that mothers should be available to guide, nurture, care for, teach, nourish, support, direct, encourage, provide for, correct, warn, caution, celebrate and also serve God. A home where the mother is not available, many things will likely go wrong.

Genesis 14:17-24 - Another example of Abraham’s life of faith is seen in the birth of his son, Isaac. Abraham and Sarah were childless, yet God promised that Abraham would have a son (Genesis 15:4). Abraham believed the promise of God, and that faith is credited to him as righteousness (Genesis 15:6). God reiterates His promise to Abraham in Genesis 17, and his faith is rewarded in Genesis 21 with the birth of Isaac. Abraham’s faith would be tested regarding his son, Isaac. In Genesis 22, God commands Abraham to sacrifice Isaac on the top of Mount Moriah. Abraham faithfully obeyed God who was his shield (Genesis 15:1) and who had been extraordinarily gracious and good to him up to this point. As with the earlier command to leave his home and family, Abraham obeyed (Genesis 22:3).

Genesis 12:1-3 - With the exception of Moses, no Old Testament character is mentioned more in the New Testament than Abraham. Abraham, who started with humble beginnings in Ur, is now regarded as one of the most influential people in all of history.

Luke 23:26-43 -

Matthew 21:1-11 - Today is Palm Sunday, the day on which we commemorate the triumphal entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem. The real purpose of Jesus in riding into Jerusalem was to make public His claim to be the Messiah and King of Israel in fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecy.

Luke 22:19-23 - The celebration of the Lord’s Supper provides a great opportunity for learning or being reminded of the great meaning and appeal of one of the two ordinances given to the Church by the Lord Jesus Christ.

Proverbs 6:9-9:11 - In the message of last Sunday, the Lord directed us to the ants to learn valuable lessons of Team work, striving for competence, diligence and practice of delayed gratification. All these lessons were meant to make us wise and help us receive insights that will elevate and launch us into greatness in life. In the text, lazy or slothful people were being advised to stop their laziness which would no doubt lead to poverty and demotion in life. Instead, they should tow the path that will lead to their greatness as they learn from the ants. We see clearly in our text that slothfulness is a great enemy of elevation. What then is slothfulness? What are the consequences of being slothful? Let’s go back to our text.

Proverbs 6:6-8 -

Philippians 2:5-11 -

Philippians 2:5-11 - Philippians 2:5-11 is one of the most important Christological passages in the New Testament. It records a vital statement about the divine nature, redemptive work, and sovereign authority of the Lord Jesus Christ. The text makes this statement about Jesus Christ in two parts: the humiliation of Christ (Phil. 2:5-8) and the exaltation of Christ (Phil. 2:9-11).

Ephesians 24:11-2:22 - The word Gentile is an English translation of the Hebrew word goyim (“people, nations”) and the Greek word ethne (“nations, people groups, people”). The Latin Vulgate translated these words as gentilis, and this word was then carried over into English as “Gentile.” The term refers to a person who is not a Jew. Gentiles were long seen as enemies of the Jewish people, yet Christ provided good news for both Jews and non-Jews. Paul praised the Lord’s goodness in his letter to the church in Ephesus. It is, therefore, from this letter that we want to learn how God elevated the Gentiles. In the first place, Paul speaks of the condition of the Gentiles before Christ came (Eph. 2:11-12). One, the Gentiles were called the uncircumcision by those who laid claim to that circumcision which is a physical and man-made thing. Two, the Gentiles had no hope of a Messiah. Three, the Gentiles were aliens from the society of Israel. Four, the Gentiles were strangers from the covenants on which the promis

Ephesians 1:19-23 - Prior to the coming of Jesus Christ into the world to die for our sins, Satan had a field day. The Bible presents him as having a highly organized army of demonic beings through whom he brings everyone under his control and enslavement (Eph. 2:1-3; 6:12; John 10:10).

Ephesians 2:10 - Why does God save? What is the purpose of God’s salvation in Jesus Christ? Some people say that salvation is so that you can go to heaven someday.
