The Meaning of the Lord’s Supper

When we participate in the Lord’s Supper, we are not merely going through a religious ritual. Instead, we are actively engaging in the blood and body of Christ. In Corinthians 10:16, it is stated that the cup we bless is a communion of the blood of Christ, and the bread we break is a communion... Read More

The Birth of Ishmael

Our sermon today was taken from the story of Hagar in the wilderness, a story with many negative components. Amidst Sarai's grief over being barren, yet her mistreatment of her slave, Abram’s passivity and frustration with God, we see Hagar, the forsaken one, stumbling on the realization that God is still watching over her! True... Read More

When He saw the multitudes, He had compassion (Matt. 9:35-38). Jesus' compassion for humanity is evident in Eph. 2:1-10. In this, we... Read More

The First World War

Usually, when we hear the words "The First World War," we immediately think of the First World War, which began in 1914 with the assassination of Prince Ferdinand of Austria, heir to the throne. This assassination led to multiple countries becoming involved and declaring war on each other. In Genesis 13, we read of the... Read More
