Worship is such a basic function of Christianity that we rarely consider what it means and how to do it. What are the examples of worship in the Bible that we can learn from? As converted Christians, how does God want us to worship Him?
Sermons
It Is Possible to Please God!
Our Savior, Jesus Christ, did please God, and we have His tremendous example to follow in order to attain eternal life in the Kingdom of God.
Your Christianity–Counterfeit or Real?
It is the largest of the world’s religions, and 2.4 billion people claim to be Christians! But is this the Christianity of the Bible or a counterfeit? Is your Christian faith real, or have you been deceived?
God of Peace — Peace of God
The world we live in constantly threatens to steal away our peace of mind and peace between one another. God offers us a sure path to experience lasting peace if we have the courage and faith to follow Him. The God of peace provides us with the opportunity to obtain the peace of God.
The Curse of Taxes
Christ told us to pay our taxes—to give Caesar what is Caesar’s. Paul repeats this and even says that tax collectors are “God’s ministers.” These statements must not be misunderstood. Even though we are to be subject to the powers over us, the concept of taxes is a curse. It is quite different from our obligation to pay God’s tithe. The Bible includes many warnings for governments who overtax the people. It also shows the blessing of tax relief.
A Story of Sacrifice
A young man is sent out into the world by his poor parents to seek a better way of life, only to find himself in many trials and tests, until he develops a change of heart by saving the ones he loves. Within this story there are many symbolic principles in relation to the Bible which can be applied personally and/or spiritually in our lives.
Beyond the Basics of Obedience
The 10 Commandments are the basics in the laws of God. They are the cornerstones for any true practicing Christian. Yet, Christ goes on to tell us that the 10 Commandments are not enough in terms of going above and beyond. What does that mean and what does that look like?
William Tyndale
God has raised up many people to do the work He required. One of them used to translate much of the Bible into English from the original languages was William Tyndale, a Catholic priest whose aim was to enable the common people to read God’s word in their native language. Because of doing this, he was put to death.
Are You Running Away From God?
The Bible contains many examples of righteous and unrighteous people who were willing to run away from God—at least temporarily in some cases. Why did they do it? Some corrected their mistake; others did not. What can we learn from their example, and why is it so dangerous to walk away from God, even in seemingly little things? Why is it critical to return to Him quickly and promptly when we recognize what we are doing?
Akeya — Where Are You?
This split sermon reflects on God’s first question to humanity—“Where are you?”—highlighting its emotional and spiritual significance rather than just a physical inquiry. Drawing from the unique Hebrew word Akeya, it emphasizes God’s longing for a relationship with man, even after Adam and Eve’s sin. We will see how our distance from God often manifests itself in fear, anxiety, guilt, and shame, and urges us to respond, not by hiding, but by returning to God with trust and submission.
