    We aren't called to be observers but to be doers.

    1 John 3:16-19 (NLT) 16 We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters.  This isn't necessarily dying physically for someone but we should be willing to give a part of ourselves for others ...read more

    Abiding in Christ is as simple as the branches abiding in the Vine. Yet what causes some branches to become less productive? In the Part 2 of "I am the Vine, you are the branches," we look at what it means to abide, and at service. Fruit brings glory to Christ and magnifies His Name.

    The life of grace is the start and the first standard in the heart of a Believer.

    Those who have disdain in their hearts for their brother must be deprived of love. Jesus taught that hate is the same as murder. The life of Jesus, eternal life, cannot abide in us if we hate others. Do we detest any of our fellow Christians, or for that matter, anyone else? How can we say that we ...read more

    What Is It Going To Be - Abiding Or Blacksliding? 1 John 2 V 28-29 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 5, 2022
     | 1,597 views

    It’s sad Christians live deficient lives when God has supplied all that's needed. Some say they have no direction; don't feel like partaking of spiritual things; careless about their walk. The problem often is the neglect of Godly resources - the word of God, prayer, and fellowship.

    MESSAGE – WHAT IS IT GOING TO BE - ABIDING OR BLACKSLIDING? 1 John 2 v 28-29 1John 2 v 28 Now, little children, abide in Him so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming. 1John 2 v 29 If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone ...read more

    The Two Pillars Of Godly Support: Belief And Love - 1john 3:23 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 5, 2022
     | 1,105 views

    Some Christians, when they are more established, very imperceptibly, lessen the trust in the Lord, and place it more in their own ability and decision-making. Not consciously, but bit by bit, they take back control of their own lives, and wonder why God seems absent. We look at belief and love.

    MESSAGE – THE TWO PILLARS OF GODLY SUPPORT: BELIEF AND LOVE - 1John 3:23 We will be looking at a verse in the first letter of John but just to place it into context we will look at 4 verses – {{1 John 3 v 21-24, but it is verse 23 that is our focus. 1John 3 v 21 “Beloved, if our heart does not ...read more
