1. Jesus And The Church
Contributed on Mar 31, 2003
Jesus died for the church, wherein we find our greatest selves.
Jesus and the Church For hours on a spring day, Jesus hung on the Roman cross, jeered at by those of his nation- the Jews- and Gentile Romans, alike. Those who had sought him during his ministry turned on him. He was abandoned by those too fearful to be identified with him. His closest friends ...read more

2. Gorify God
Contributed on Mar 31, 2003
Belshazzar died because he did not glorify God. Be sure this doesn’t happen to you!
Glorify God Let us think back to one fateful night in 539 BC- a night quite a long time before any of us was born, despite what our children might think or say, sometimes. Something very significant happened that night, which gives us a lesson that is vital for this period of time for ...read more

Contributed on Mar 31, 2003
Before Easter is a good time to re-evaluate your prayer life. Do you practice the custom of prayer? It is the key to your spiritual growth.
Custom of Prayer Please read along with me the beginning of Daniel 6- especially v. 10, where we learn about Daniel’s custom of praying. Read on for a few verses to see the trouble that praying got Daniel into. Daniel had a custom of praying. He was known for praying and people even knew ...read more

5. Meaning Of The Wine
Contributed on May 12, 2003
What’s in a glass of wine? What’s in a tiny glass of wine? Forgiveness, rightness, closeness, conscience-cleansing, redemption, cleansing- that’s what. It’s not so little, is it? The amount of beverage might be little, but it carries big meaning!
Meaning of the Wine April 5, 2003 Each time we come to church and participate in the Lord’s Supper, the second symbol we use is wine. Now that’s a potentially controversial symbol today, in some circles, but was a very ordinary matter of meals in Jesus’ day, and still is in many cultures. Just ...read more

6. It Doesn't Take Long To Change The World
Contributed on May 12, 2003
Amazingly the world, entirely, or for an individual, can change dramatically in an incredibly short time. Although this is often hard for us, it’s going to happen again and we look forward to that time.
It Doesn’t Take Long to Change the World Easter 2003 It doesn’t take long to change the world in very dramatic ways. “The 1989 Armenian earthquake needed only four minutes to flatten the nation and kill thirty thousand people. Moments after that deadly tremor ceased, a father raced to an ...read more

8. The Pathway Of Palm Sunday
Contributed on May 18, 2004
For others, it was a path, but for Jesus a journey. So, it is with our lives.
THE PATHWAY OF PALM SUNDAY Cornwall April 3, 2004 Read Matthew 21.1-11 If we ask people to describe life, most will depict it in the same way- as a path or a road. The reason is simple: life is like a journey. It’s a voyage from one experience to the next – from one tribulation to triumph ...read more
