Trust in God

  While Christians profess belief in God, their actions often reveal a greater trust in other things. Genuine trust means acknowledging God's loving nature, His ability, and His willingness to help. We are reminded that we are utterly dependent on Jesus, but frequently attempt to solve problems independently, only to later seek God's intervention when struggling. God calls us to a constant state of trust, making Him the foundation of every aspect of our lives. Trusting God means being completely open with Him, more so than with any human. Unlike fallible friends, God welcomes your honesty, especially during tough times. Expressing your feelings to Him through prayer demonstrates this trust. Don't let emotions control you; instead, bring them to God, knowing He understands and cares, not judges. True trust involves turning to God's Word and acting in obedience, relying on Him for security, even when challenging. Like Jesus, who sought His Father in distress, we can find ...

"The Power of Redemption: A Message of Hope and Salvation"

   Text: Ephesians 1:7-8, "In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that he lavished on us." Introduction : Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, today we gather to celebrate the most profound and life-transforming truth of our faith: redemption. Redemption is the heart of the gospel, the core of our Christian faith, and the source of our hope and salvation.

Our sin has consequences, leading to spiritual death, eternal separation from God, and a life of slavery to sin and its destructive power. The Provision of Redemption But God, in His infinite love ...

Justification by faith

  Justification by faith is when someone sincerely ask God forgive the  and believein Jesus Christ and not by law but by faith that we are forgiven.    It emphasizes that a person is made righteous (justified) before God not through their own good works or adherence to the law, but through faith in Jesus Christ. Why justification by faith? The Bible teaches us in Romans 3:23 that all have sinned and fallen short of God's glory. This sinfulness creates a barrier that humans cannot overcome on their own. The Law, while revealing God's perfect standard, also reveals our inability to meet it. God, in His love and mercy, provides a solution through Jesus Christ. Christ's sacrificial death on the cross atones for our sins, and His resurrection demonstrates God's acceptance of that sacrifice. When Jesus died, He died for the sin of every person. God knew we could not pay the penalty for our sin. No amount of effort on our part would ever clear the debt we owed to God. So Je...
