JESUS CHRIST THE GREATEST NEED OF MANKIND

Sunday 25 December 2011 Sermon by Ps. SETH ASARE OFEI BADU Main Text: Isaiah 9:6 "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." Some Israelite still awaits the Messiah thinking he won't come by birth, but the scriptures states emphatically that He will be born; some took it serious, others did not. Religious people are people who believe strongly in a god or gods. The following people are all religious: Individuals serving God because of their relationship (work, family etc.) with others People who come to the house of God occasionally (Christmas and New year's eve) People who seek God indifferently People who seek God to protect their wealth, prestige and/or social status. But all these people are not serving God rightly. The wise men from the the east knowing His worth and value, how gr...

Sunday 18th December, 2011 Sermon by ELD. EMMANUEL DANQUAH Main Text: Judges 11:30-32,34,34 "And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands, Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD'S, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering. So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands. And Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she was his only child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter. And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! thou hast brought me very low, and thou art one of them that trouble me: for I have opened my mouth unto the LORD, and I cannot go back. " To vow...

YOUR SAVIOUR IS BORN: LOOK FOR HIM

Sunday Sermon by APOSTLE JOSEPH K. ASSABIL (Ar ea Head, COP, Agormanya) If we do not move beyond our parochial interests and traditions to truly seek Jesus like the wise men did, we, like King Herod and the Jews, will not find Him. Main Text: Matthew 2:1-12 (Quoted in full at the bottom of this post) See also Luke 2:8-16 God's Plan through Abraham and His Descendants If you study the scriptures, one realizes that God’s ultimate mission is to let the people know who He is, and how He can transform them. Whiles Abraham had not known Him, God revealed Himself to him (Abraham was the first person God revealed Himself to for that purpose). God promised Abraham a lot of things, key among which is "in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed" (Gen. 12:3b). Jesus is from the lineage of Abraham so all who believe in Christ become descendants of Abraham (Gal. 3:14) . Interestingly, Abraham's descendants, now commonly called the Jews or Israelis rather failed to...

ESCHATOLOGY

Sun 4th December 2011 Sermon By BRO. DANIEL NYARKO Main Text: 2 Peter 3:10-12 "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?" Eschatology, from two Greek words meaning last (ἔσχατος, last) and study (λογία, lit. discourse), is the study of the end of things, whether the end of an individual life, the end of the age, or the end of the world. Broadly speaking, eschatology is the study of the destiny of man as it is revealed in the Bible. The major issues and events in Christian eschatology are: de...
