No Vacancy
For many people, it's their skepticism that's keeping them to pursue a relationship with Jesus. Just like Lee Strobel, they may have some negative assumptions about Jesus Christ that must be confronted and straightened out. Lee took the time to investigate and was won over to Jesus, but for many it is not that easy.

There's Something About Love
In life there are two trails. When it comes down to life you’ve got to decide which trail you’re going to be on. When it comes to love and relationships are you going to do the safe, predictable, superficial relationship circle? Or are you going to sacrifice? Because really what you are sacrificing is comfort. You’re sacrificing convenience. You’re sacrificing safety. We all have something in common, we all want to love and be loved. You want to know and be known. You want to serve and be served. You want something richer and more in your relationships and your love but how do you get there? We need to look at how Christ loved and follow His example.

It's All About Love
Would you say, my number one goal in life is to be happy? Or to be loved? Or my number one goal in life is to succeed at my career, or to get married and raise a family. If you haven’t ever thought it through, you need to think it through because your answer to that question is what I call your dominant life principle.

Slaying the Giant of Shortsightedness
Shortsightedness is a common visual condition in which a person can see close objects clearly, but objects in the distance appear blurry or unclear. Unfortunately, there are so many people who have become shortsighted in life. They only see things as they appear at the moment and are unable to see life 10, 20, or 50 years from now. Would you consider yourself shortsighted? The Bible, both the Old and New Testaments, provides sufficient warning against it.

Slaying the Giant of Selfishness
Does man exist for himself? Did God really put us on earth just so we can advance ourselves and live a happy life? To live life simply for oneself may sound repulsive and unacceptable, but the reality is: there are many people whose ultimate goal in life is the pursuit of their personal happiness. Believe it or not, even great men of the Bible are not exempted from this attitude. Solomon started out being so blessed because of the wisdom that God bestowed upon him. He sought for this wisdom because he wanted to adequately serve the nation of Israel. However, his heart eventually turned from serving others to serving and living for himself. I hope you won’t miss the last verse. He ended up being disappointed because his pursuit turned out to be empty and meaningless. Can you imagine the frustration?

Slaying the Giant of Strongholds
It is always disturbing when we hear stories about Christians who deceived fellow Christians because we know it impacts the causes of Christ in negative ways. And it is so easy to pass judgement on people who have been disgraced without being aware of our struggles of living double lives. Is it possible that we are doing our best to hide our own obsessions or addictions? Continuing on the series on Slaying the Giants, I would like to talk about this very sensitive topic about strongholds. For most people, these are commonly known as obsessions or addictions. We need to confront and defeat these strongholds if we want God's best in our lives.

Slaying the Giant of Self-Sufficiency
Self-sufficiency is dangerous, and anyone can easily fall into this attitude. Just like in the life of Goliath, image, possessions, and experience can easily contribute to such an attitude. In life, we need to constantly guard ourselves from it. Even God’s people need to take heed. In the Old Testament, whenever God’s people had enjoyed some prosperity, they were most vulnerable to self-sufficiency.

Pursuing Greater Productivity
Our highest goal as a church family is encapsulated in our purpose statement – Leading people to a life of commitment and productivity in Christ. Our salvation goes beyond having the assurance of going to heaven, or enjoying the blessings of an abundant life. We must, while waiting to go to heaven, use our one and only life to bring honor and glory to Him who saved us by making a difference in the lives of others. Productivity is our highest priority, without undermining the value of commitment. The reality is: they should always go together. The more committed we are, the more productive we become.

The Eyewitness Account of the Wise Men
Christmas is all about seeking to worship Christ. Unfortunately, when Christmas comes around, it is so easy for most of us to be preoccupied with seeking the best decorations, best bargains, and the best parties we can attend. Unconsciously, we go through all the motions, neglecting a major opportunity to bring ourselves a little bit closer to our Savior, or to intentionally help someone else to be drawn closer to Him. My fear is: if Christmas does not accomplish drawing us or someone else to Christ, the rest of the year would even be harder because there’s no special emphasis about Christ. Evidently, seeking for Christ is always is rewarding experience. I am reminded of a familiar verse that says, “He rewards those who earnestly seek Him†(Heb.11:6). In other words, the Lord would like to impress to us that if we seriously exert the efforts to build a closer relationship with Him, we will never be disappointed. He will reveal Himself in a very special way to everyone who would seek after Him.

The Eyewitness of Angels
An eyewitness is not merely someone who has seen something but someone who can give a first-hand account of what they have seen. It is by virtue of seeing with their own eyes and reporting upon what they have seen that makes an eyewitness a valued, credible, source to be believed. As we look at the eyewitness account of the angels, we will note that what the angels described to the shepherds and to us was truly more than meets the eye. The Scriptures demonstrate the uniqueness of God's angels, as eyewitnesses to our Lord's unfolding Gospel plan.
