JESUS CHRIST THE GREATEST NEED OF MANKIND

By -
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 greatly significant He is, thought they could seek Him through the ruler of the land. But they went to seek Him themselves though.
How do we value our relationship with Jesus?
Do we know/acknowledge Him by His attributes as in the main text?
Do we seek Christ (the new born baby) by looking at others' devotion or commitment to Him?
We show to the world that Christ is the greatest need of mankind when we make them know that Jesus is precious to us. We need to search for Christ so we can continually abide in Him for He is our greatest need.

"Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein." (Luke 18:17)
Receive the message this day as a child; Seek Christ in Humility and fall into the Love web of God.

SERMON: BY PASTOR ABRAHAM AGYEMANG THEME:  THE FIVE (5) CALLS OF GOD TEXTS: LUKE 19:10, PHILIPPIANS 2:12, HEBREWS 12:14, ACTS 9:16, MATTHEW 20:28 & JEREMIAH 29:13 INTRODUCTION Christianity is a calling. If you are not called you cannot come. It was God who called you not man or yourself.  Therefore do not look to any man but look to Christ alone who loves you and has called you to inherit eternal life. God has called us into a holy calling and we need to see it as such. When we see our worship as a call we will do it with joy and reverence.  There are five main calls that a believer must answer to, these are the call to Salvation, Sainthood, Suffering, Service and Seeking (God). SALVATION (Luke 19:10, Philippians 2:12, Acts 4:12, 2 Corinthians 7:10) The first call of God is for salvation. We have been called to be saved. As  believers, our God has  called  us  for  salvation and  our  gathering  at the ...

ELDER MICHAEL KWAME ASILEVI   DATE:   SUNDAY 9 TH FEBRUARY, 2014 TOPIC:  DEAL WITH EVIL ALTAR AND BUILD GODLY ALTAR TO IMPACT GENERATIONS INTRODUCTION A lot of people are struggling in life, depressed, hurting, grieving, heart-broken, disappointed, disgraced, miserable, failing and frustrated due to evil altars (evil deeds) influences which are dominating their lives.  The devil is using evil altars to impose embargoes on some Christians marriages, businesses, good health, glory, financial breakthrough, success and victories due to their ignorance and holding unto evil deeds.  The Israelites abandoned and served the images (altars) of Baal, that were the evil they did in the sight of God. Abraham regularly built altars to God for two (2) reasons (1) for prayers and worship   (2) As reminder of God’s promises to bless him. But thanks be to God that Jesus has made an everlasting altar with his blood for us – Believers… Heb. 9...

Sunday 8th July, 2012 Sermon by Ps. WISEBORN AGYARE-ACQUAH Isaiah 3:1-11 For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water, The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient, The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.  And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them. And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable. When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand: In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clot...
