    based on 1 rating
     | 2,714 views

    Today’s message centers upon Psalm 61:1-4 and King David’s cry for God to hear him in the midst of His troubles. To find the rest we need in times of distress, we need to go to Jesus, the rock that is higher than anything we might face. Jesus is the true rest in times of our distress.

    We Are Not Ignorant Of Satan’s Devices Or Schemes – Part 7 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 6, 2023
     | 749 views

    We live in a corrupt world. Truth has stumbled in the street, and uprightness cannot enter. Satan permeates right through society especially in the judiciary. There is little justice any more. We look at ways Christians are penalised by Satan’s system, but evil is promoted.

    WE ARE NOT IGNORANT OF SATAN’S DEVICES OR SCHEMES – PART 7 We continue this study of the schemes Satan uses to infiltrate all aspects of humanity. His influence is everywhere. We need wisdom and reliance on the Lord for the battle we are engaged in. We will examine two more of these schemes. ...read more

    The Scarecrow And The Pelican – Very Apt Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 3, 2022
     | 1,839 views

    The message begins with the insanity of idolatry. Idols are no more than scarecrows in a cucumber field. In great distress David resembled a pelican in the wilderness. Applications are drawn from these two objects to Christian living and personal affliction.
