Acts 2:41-47 - There is a force at work in the world today that is more powerful and more significant than any other in the history of the world.

It is not the spread of democracy, nor is it any of the anti-democratic movements that are currently active and threatening.

1 Chronicles 17:1-19 - One of the most powerful descriptions of God in the Bible is that given by the Apostle Paul in Ephesians 3:20, where he described God as “Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think.”

Song of Songs 8:6-7 - Love is a key that binds a couple together, and without it Marriage loses its savour.

It is a burning fire kindled at the beginning of marriage, when it burns with great intensity.

Genesis 3:6-9 - Just as the concept of the fatherhood of God over His creation is undeniably the hub of the universe without which everything fall apart, so is the fatherhood responsibility of the male man in the sustenance of the family (especially the Christian family) in line with the divine purpose.

2 Samuel 6:1-15 - After David had secured the kingship in Israel, he moved his palace from Hebron to Jerusalem and named it the "City of David". Thereafter, he felt strongly compelled to also bring the Ark of God to Jerusalem. Unfortunately, as the transporting party progressed, the oxen stumbled and Uzzah, one of the three men guiding the oxen touched the ark to steady it.

Ephesians 4:1-13 - God has called us as believers to come into His fullness, by sending His Son (Jesus Christ) to die for us and also giving us the privilege to walk with Him through faith in Jesus.

Exodus 2:9 - The theme for this year’s Children Sunday is, Nurse Him for Me.

This theme reveals and reminds us of God’s given responsibilities to us parents

Genesis 16:1-16 - One of the challenges that we face in our quest for divine elevation is impatience.

Impatience is the emotion that gets tired of waiting; that gets fed up with something that delays us; that arouses us to act or react before we should.

This was what happened to Abram and Sara. They became impatient in waiting for the promised seed, the son promised by God.

What, then, can we learn about impatience?

First, the causes of impatience (v.1-2). Sara illustrates several of the major factors that cause us to be so impatient.

Exodus 2:1-10 - The word available means to be accessible, on hand, easy to obtain or free to do something.

In essence, we are saying that mothers should be available to guide, nurture, care for, teach, nourish, support, direct, encourage, provide for, correct, warn, caution, celebrate and also serve God.

A home where the mother is not available, many things will likely go wrong.

Genesis 14:17-24 - Another example of Abraham’s life of faith is seen in the birth of his son, Isaac.

Abraham and Sarah were childless, yet God promised that Abraham would have a son (Genesis 15:4).

Abraham believed the promise of God, and that faith is credited to him as righteousness (Genesis 15:6). God reiterates His promise to Abraham in Genesis 17, and his faith is rewarded in Genesis 21 with the birth of Isaac. Abraham’s faith would be tested regarding his son, Isaac. In Genesis 22, God commands Abraham to sacrifice Isaac on the top of Mount Moriah. Abraham faithfully obeyed God who was his shield (Genesis 15:1) and who had been extraordinarily gracious and good to him up to this point. As with the earlier command to leave his home and family, Abraham obeyed (Genesis 22:3).
