Today, Pastor Allan is bringing us a message about Christian conduct in today’s word, titled, “It Shall Not be So Among You”. To begin, please open your bible to the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 20. As we all know, the conduct of society is generally in contradiction to the Word of God. Unfortunately, there are too many Christians behaving in the same way. The Bible says that we are to be set apart from the world in all that we say, think, & do & not be conformed to it. So please stay tuned as Pastor Allan teaches us how to be separated from the world.

The Bible Stands #10 - "Fruits of Repentance"

Today, Pastor Allan will teach us about the fruits of repentance. Repentance consists of a true sense of one's own guilt and sinfulness; turning from it to God; and seeking to live a holy life by walking with Him. Repentance is not just feeling sorry or remorseful, but being so troubled in your own heart that you begin to live by God’s standards, according to His Word. These fruits of repentance are visible ways that demonstrate that a person has actually changed. So please open your bibles to Luke, chapter 13 & get ready as Pastor Allan teaches us from God’s Word.

The Bible Stands #3 - "What Happens When a Christian Sins"

The Bible Stands #3 - "What Happens When a Christian Sins"

Every honest Christian would admit that eventhough they are saved, they are still capable of sinning.

Get ready for some biblical instruction, from the books of Exodus and 1 John, that will help us to avoid sin and explain to us what happens to a sinning Christian.

The Bible Stands #43 - "The Joy of a Christian"

Thank you for joining us today as Pastor Allan opens up today’s broadcast in the book of Proverbs, chapter 21 & verse 15. Christians march to a different drummer. They get their joy from different sources. The truth is that sometimes we still look to the old sources for joy, but as God leads us, He teaches us where the real joy lies. The Christian is not limited to joy by the worldly things that define it. This is because of Who we know. You see, God makes His children privy to priceless joy, joy that the world can not give or take away. So have you found & identified the joy that is available to you as God’s child? To help you answer this question, stick around as Pastor Allan has prepared a message titled, “The Joy of a Christian.”
