Effective Life Ministry

Martha & Mary (Part 2)

Lazarus, the brother of Martha and Mary, was dearly loved by Jesus and His disciples. However, when Jesus heard that Lazarus was sick, He decides to remain where He was staying. In the meantime, Lazarus dies, setting the stage for Jesus to show His power over death. But what do Martha and Mary make of the situation? Listen to the second part of Pastor Matthew series on Martha and Mary, the significance of Lazarus's resurrection, and why we need to leave behind our grave clothes.

Martha and Mary (Part 1)

Martha and Mary. Two sisters who have significant interactions with Jesus during the Gospel accounts. The first of these is when Jesus visits Martha and Mary at their house. While Mary sat at Jesus's feet, Martha was busy with all the preparations. Why did Jesus say that Mary chose what was better? Can we see ourselves in Martha, getting caught up in the busyness and worries of life? Join Pastor Matthew and jump into the wonders of God's Word!

The REDEMPTIVE Eye of God

So much of what we have often ends up disposed and discarded. Very rarely do we take the time to repair and restore things which get damaged. This can also be the attitude of many when it comes to people and relationships. That’s why, as Christians, we must always remember the redemptive eye of God for people! Join Pastor Matthew for this encouraging and timely message!

The COMPASSION of Christ

Jesus has many wonderful characteristics that we are called to imitate. But one characteristic of Christ’s character that is becoming increasingly absent from the modern world, and even the church, is compassion. In our increasingly individualistic society, Christians are called to show compassion and grace. Join Pastor Matthew as he demonstrates examples of godly compassion from Jesus's ministry and how we can follow His example.

The Truth about Financial GIVING

Financial giving can be an extremely touchy subject in some Christian circles, especially when it comes to tithing and feeling pressured to give a certain amount to please God. But once we have a biblical understanding of what the purpose of giving is, we will be free to give more generously and joyfully. Join Pastor Matthew as he teaches on why Christians are called to give under grace, and not under the law.
