Post Pandemic Preaching - Grace

" What then? Should we sin, because we are not under the law but under grace? Absolutely not!" Romans 6:15 in the Recovery Version [This is the  10th lesson of  this series ] One of the things that I have been seeing more and more of, is Christians fighting among themselves. I know that this has been going on for centuries, since the 1st church even, so nothing new there. But what I am referring to is that followers of Christ has escalated the war against their siblings in Christ and we are seeing more of them because of how technology has made the world so much smaller. Karens Smart phones, wi-fi, social media, apps, the internet, television, radio has made almost everyone on earth connected to one another. And we are just starting, the world will become even smaller and more connected with newer and newer advancements in technology evolving in shorter and shorter intervals. This is also where we will see and hear more about these  "infighting" among believe

Pandemic Preaching - Full Circle

Before Jesus went to the cross, He told His disciples to: "Go to the people of all nations and make them my disciples. Baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teach them to do everything I have told you. I will be with you always, even until the end of the world." Mathew 28:19-20 And then after appearing to them on various occasions for 40 days, after having risen back out from the tomb, He told them: “And now I will send the Holy Spirit, just as my Father promised. But stay here in the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from heaven.” Luke 24:49 The original disciples of Jesus did that. Now Jesus didn't come to start a religion. He didn't start a church or built a church building. The Church The people who believe in Him is the church . And wherever believers got together and met in Jesus' name, there He was in the middle of it -- His holy presence, the Promised Holy Spirit . They met in homes, enco

' Jesus answered, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never hunger, and whoever believes in Me will never thirst. But as I stated, you have seen Me and still you do not believe. Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never drive away. For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me. And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall lose none of those He has given Me, but raise them up at the last day. For it is My Father’s will that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.” ' John 6:35-40 Nothing Happens By Accident or Chance When we first started sharing the Word of God online in forums, comment sections, social media and other online platforms in 2003, never would I have thought that there would be so much people worldwide who would be looking for this kind of content online.

A Cyber Church

What Is A Church? Contrary to what some people think, a church should not refer to a physical building or structure. Rather a church should properly be the assembly of the people within the place some people do call as a church. Cyber Church So in reality, people do not really need a physical place to be in to say that they went to "church".  In fact it is not really logical to say that you went to church when in fact you are the church -- or you are a part of the body of people who make up the church. If you think about it, many different circumstances do prevent certain people from being physically present at a specific place at a specific time. If this describes where you are now, then in comes to the rescue this concept of a virtual church.  What is this? This is a virtual place not really existing in the physical world but just the same existing, although in the cyber world, hence a cyber church. This shouldn't be too hard to grasp as people in chu
