Pure In Heart: The Reward Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Apr 17, 2023

This is the second message in a study of the sixth beatitude. The reward for the pure in heart is that they will "see God." How does that promise relate to the resurrection, and how does it relate to this life? What is biblical impact of seeing God?

Cosy In The Culture Series

Contributed by Duane Wente on May 1, 2023

The story of Esther is an amazing story of how God can use His people to accomplish His will. But Mordecai and Esther were not always the heroes. Much like our world today, Esther and Mordecai were cosy in their culture. As Christians, we need to be different from the world.

The Wonders Of His Love Series

Contributed by Dorothy Lam on Jan 11, 2023

How did Jesus coming as a baby mean that there would be peace on earth and goodwill for us? My journey through Advent has brought me back to the manger where God shows up in the flesh, where the God-Man is all potential, just lying there. It's an offer. It's an invitation.

Life revolves around what the baby needs, not her own needs. New fathers find a place in their hearts that was not there before. A sense of pride ...read more
