Try holding your breath…How long can you hold it?Praying is like breathing. Just as breathing is essential to our physical well-being, so is prayer to our soul. Prayer is such a fundamental part of the Christian life.Martin Luther said, "To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing."Perhaps today, we need to experience breathing again. Prayer is a remarkable privilege and blessing for a Christian, a means by which we experience and know the fellowship we have with the Father through our union with Christ.As we can’t survive long without breathing, we can’t also last long without prayer.Let us all learn together how to BREATHE.Jeremiah 29:11 says “then you will call on me and come to me, and I will listen to you.”#BacktotheBaSIX#Breathe#SetAdjustRaisePersist#ReverenceRedirectionRequestsRepentance#InhaleExhale#aHeartthatbeatsforJesusbeatsforOthers#itisaONEBEATFamdayFundaySonday!(Credits to the original artists and owners of the media used.

"We are in the last Sunday of the month of May and are on our fourth week learning about some of the basics of Christian living. This Sunday we get to learn about rest – and not just an ordinary rest but the rest that the Bible calls, Sabbath.



Our world today is so fast-paced and all around us tells us to move even faster. So how do we “slow down” when even sleeping isn’t seen as rest but an escape from this world. One way we can “slow down” is to observe our sabbath.



As we listen to today’s message based on one of the 10 Commandments – “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.”, may we learn to purposefully and intentionally take time out from this world to connect to God and experience true rest.



God has given us Sabbath – for a chance to rest, an opportunity to trust and an invitation to experience His faithfulness. Let us learn to observe Sabbath.

“All of us must stand guard at the door of our souls and spirits with the correct armor donned in preparation for battle. Soldiers do not wait until threats are detected in the distance, shots are fired, or enemies are breaking down their doors to prepare for battle. No, soldiers are ready in advance! They are suited up for war- prepared from first light with others standing watch throughout the night! It is to be the same for those of us fighting in this battle for our eternal lives! Why do we so often insist on going out to face the enemy unprepared and ill equipped? Surely, we do not enjoy defeat- we do not wish to be knocked in the ditch of life, to backslide and fall away from our first love- our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ."

So put on the Full Armor of God - be a Warrior of God and be ready to pray; Just as what Paul said in Ephesians 6:18, "And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people."

..Praise..Repent..Act..Yield..

We started last week with one of the basics – being rooted in Christ. This Sunday, we continue our series with learning some basic key words as we go along our journey as followers of Christ.



As school teachers drill young students on basics like addition, subtraction and the alphabet, we should also learn of Christian living basics in order to establish firm spiritual building blocks to support our future growth.



The Apostle Paul’s letter to the Ephesians in our scripture for today emphasizes that salvation is only by grace through faith in Christ Jesus. As we listen to today’s service, may we be able to learn the key words that would help us better understand and appreciate this free gift that God is offering to us.



Happy listening and to all our beloved mothers - Happy Mothers’ Day!

Happy 6th Anniversary church! Thank You Lord!

Today, we celebrate not only a new series for the month of May but we celebrate 6 years of fun, fellowship and favor because of the Lord’s goodness and faithfulness.

Being disciples of Jesus Christ that makes disciples starts with us connecting to God. It depends where our roots are planted. Today’s sermon entitled – FIRST ROOTS – highlights the importance of abiding in Christ, connecting to Him and being always rooted in Him.

1 JOHN 2:6 says “The one who says he abides in Him ought to himself walk in the same manner as He walked.” May we always remember that apart from Him, we do not have life. Abiding is seen in the lives we live as we are connected to the true vine.

Let’s go BACK TO THE BASIX --- start with being rooted in Christ!

“Faith is not believing that God can, but God will.” Abraham Lincoln

The African impala can jump to a height of over 10 feet and cover a distance of greater than 30 feet. Yet these magnificent creatures can be kept in an enclosure in any zoo with a 3-foot wall. The animals will not jump if they cannot see where their feet will fall. Faith is the ability to trust what we cannot see, and with faith we are set free from the weak enclosures of life.

Today, we'll end our two months-long series with a message entitled, Over-the-top Faith! Extreme, outrageous faith! But not only on the part of Abraham, but also on Isaac. Join us as we culminate this month remembering how these father and son demonstrated an over-the-top kind of faith.

Jeremiah 17:7-8

7 “But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. 8 They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”
