In line with this charge, congregants had set aside quality time for worship, singing many songs of submission to the awesomeness of the Almighty while expressing penitence over their human imperfection. It was the first Sunday […]
GET PREPARED

In a world of uncertainty, he reminded everyone that the Lord’s plans […]

STOP COMPLAINING

Have you been complaining because of your situation? Do you know that complaining is an indication of ingratitude, a questioning of God’s constant goodness and grace? Are you ready to stop complaining? On June 1, 2025, congregants knew better than to engage in complaining. Instead, they started their day with songs of worship, paying obeisance […]
OUR ROLE IN RECEIVING

Our role in receiving the gifts of healing, deliverance, blessings and salvation lies in exercising faith and looking beyond sense evidence – or what our situation is saying.

CONSCIOUSNESS

What is your level of consciousness, that is, the degree of your awareness about the certainty of God’s promises for your life? Do you always remember your past failures, leading you to doubt God’s provision for your future? Or do you begin each day with an offering of praise and thanksgiving for the limitless blessings […]
UNWORTHY FRIENDS

For all congregants in The SCOAN, Easter Sunday 2025 was a most memorable day indeed. They learned of Jesus’ concern for the ‘unworthy friends’ that dominate the world – penitent sinners of all categories who end up benefitting from God’s grace and mercy. In asking for mercy, the people first engaged in a long session […]
THE UNBROKEN REALITY

What is the unbreakable reality as it concerns the interactions between God and His creation, especially believers?

THERE IS STILL HOPE

YOUR CONFIDENCE IN GOD

What is the basis of your confidence in God? Is it the healing, deliverance or breakthrough that you are expecting or have already received? Or is your confidence in God rooted in a deep Father-child relationship, as was the case with the three Hebrew children in Daniel 3:16-18? This was the day’s sermon as given […]
CHOOSE TO WIN

In the warfare of life, do you choose to win or do you choose to give up? As a serious Christian, you are obliged to press on even when under pressure. And handling that pressure requires counting your blessings and appreciating God with songs of praise. For congregants in The SCOAN on February 2, 2025, […]
