Ark, Anger, And Acceptance

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 20, 2010

We who are successful want instant gratification, but must know that God’s timing may be different, and that it is important to do something that enables others to succeed. In prayer we learn that we are accepted and so our efforts have meaning.

Success brings with it its own set of problems. If you get used to being successful, you soon expect it, and then if it eludes you, that can be very hard to take. I know that I am speaking this morning to reasonably successful people, by and large. Most of you, when you face a challenge, are able ...read more

Why Jesus? Series

Contributed by Robert Fa’atoia-Collins on Feb 4, 2012

God promise us His deliverance through our Lord and Saviour.

Why Jesus? To understand Jesus and His mission, you must understand some of the basic foundations of the OT that prepare for Him. I would like to refer to just two of these. The first is the vision of Nathan (2 Sam 7, and 1 Chr 17). In it, King David, in following the tradition of the ANE, ...read more

This Christmas season will you be thinking about the wonder of the immortal God taking on mortal flesh; the omnipotent God appearing in the form of a helpless vulnerable baby; the only begotten Son of God coming as one of us to take on himself the punish

We hear the Christmas story every year. The same events; the same characters; the same location. We sing Christmas carols that retell the story over and over again.

Plan On It

Contributed by Perry Greene on Jun 24, 2019

Generally, we hunger to know God. Sometimes we settle for knowing things about Him, but the power of the Christian walk is not in head knowledge or traditions but in the intimate relationship with God as we walk with Him

1. I am more and more aware that God is often quiet in our day to day lives a. I would love to have a special revelation and words from God like the prophets have had. b.

Our theme this year is Hope Found Here, and this month we are considering the Hope of the Covenant. Our faith is based on an everlasting, unchangeable covenant with God.

Come And See Jesus (John 1:43-51) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 5, 2022

Nathaniel is open-minded enough to come see Jesus for himself, and overcomes his initial skepticism. This makes him the ideal Israelite. Also, Jesus is not a ladder. Angels come "to" Jesus, not "upon" him.

This week, starting in John 1:43, we find ourselves on day 4. Let's just start there: (43) On the next day, he (Jesus) wished to depart to Galilee, and he finds Philip, and Jesus says to him, "Follow me." Already in the gospel of John, we've seen a number of people take the ...read more
