Sunday Message:


Good morning/afternoon/evening, brothers and sisters in Christ!


Today, we gather together to reflect on the power of gratitude. Throughout the Bible, we encounter numerous verses and stories that emphasize the importance of giving thanks and being grateful in all circumstances. As we study God's Word, let us open our hearts and minds to understand the transformative power of gratitude in our lives.


Firstly, Psalm 100:4-5 reminds us to enter God's presence with thanksgiving and praise. We are called to express gratitude for His goodness, enduring love, and faithfulness that extends across all generations. By cultivating a grateful attitude, we invite His peace and joy into our lives.


Next, Colossians 3:15 encourages us to let the peace of Christ rule in our hearts and to be thankful. When we choose gratitude, we align ourselves with God's will, fostering unity and peace within the body of Christ. Gratitude has the power to

Persevere in Passing Down Your Faith

  Persevere in Passing Down Your Faith MESSAGE FROM PRINCE EUDES  Our efforts may at times look like failures, but that doesn’t mean God has stopped working through us to achieve His purposes. November 11, 2023 James 1:2-4 Is there someone with whom you’ve consistently but unsuccessfully tried to share Jesus? It can be disheartening, but God’s Word encourages us to not grow weary of doing good ( 2 Thess. 3:13 ). That’s the third way to pass along your faith: perseverance. Yesterday we read about how to tell loved ones about Jesus through our actions, but doing something once or even a few times isn’t enough. There must be consistency. Does what you believe have merit in small situations as well as in major ones? Do you still trust God in those times when circumstances look impossible? How do you react when things don’t go your way? What do you do when life gets tough? Do you keep loving others no matter what? Don’t be discouraged or feel guilty when you fall short. We all are ...

Lord, Teach Us to Pray

 Lord, Teach Us to Pray Keep talking to the Lord—He always welcomes you, just as you are. November 12, 2023 Matthew 9:35-38 When it comes to prayer, there are two common pitfalls to be aware of. First, when it’s unclear what to pray, some people choose not to pray at all. And second, many believers settle into a lifeless form of praying that leaves them feeling hollow and disconnected from God. Both situations lead to discontentment and frustration. As Christians, we know that we should pray, even if doing so seems daunting. But far more than any sense of obligation we may feel, it’s wise to recognize that God intended prayer as a blessing for His children: Communing with Him is a fundamental way of experiencing His fullness. We have much to gain by praying—including peace, comfort, wisdom, and God’s very presence. So it would be tragic to give up on trying. And remember, when we communicate with God, there’s no measuring stick or scorecard. A fumbling yet heartfelt attem...

To See the Glory of God’s Purposes

 To See the Glory of God’s Purposes The light of Christ provides hope, love, and power to overcome any darkness. January 2, 2024 Ephesians 1:18-19 If you’ve ever stumbled through your house in the dark, then you know that even perfect vision is useless without light. But flip a switch, and everything suddenly becomes much clearer. That’s what Paul’s getting at when he prays “that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened” (Eph. 1:18). It’s not a prayer for some kind of spiritual X-ray vision; rather, he’s asking that God enable the Ephesians to view everything they experience in the best light of all—His light. What did they need to see? The scope and richness of salvation in Christ. First, it’s grounded in hope, something the Ephesians didn’t have before their encounter with Jesus. They’d been outside God’s kingdom, but as a result of His calling, they became His people. That reality transformed not only their future but also their present. Now, as God’s treasured people, they wer...
