    We can stand under Gis mystery, His greatness, His uniqueness, and admire or adore Him. That’s the extent of our “understanding,” to stand beneath his Being.

    Monday of the Eighth Week in Course 2025 This is one of those liturgical weeks that gets started in one direction and then heads off in another mid-week.

    Supernatural Encouragement Series

    Ephesians 4:29: “Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only what is useful for building up, as there is need, so that your words may give grace to those who hear.”

    I admire people who always know what to say, when to say it, and where. These are the floks who encourage with thoughtful words straight from the heart. For them, it comes naturally. But for you, it can come supernaturally. If you weren’t born with the gift of encouragement, God can teach you. ...read more

    The world is more focussed than ever on sci-fi movies and alien life, so much so, that a hearing was convened by the United States Congress into Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UFOs). What is the Christian perspective on this?

    God’s Living Word comes to us every day.

    I’ve read in the Scpriptures in Jeremiah 31:3 "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness," at a time when I really needed to be reminded of God’s love.

    True peace and acceptance come not from self-righteousness, but from humble, honest confession and receiving God’s mercy through Jesus Christ.

    Some of us came in today with a smile that hides a sigh. Calendars are crammed, minds are noisy, and hearts carry the kind of weariness you can’t quite name. You’ve been faithful, you’ve been trying, and you’re hoping heaven hears. Others of us slipped in quietly, feeling a little out of place, ...read more

    Return To A Listening Heart

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 22, 2025
     | 24 views

    A pastor’s burden exposes spiritual deafness in the church and calls believers and leaders alike to listen, repent, realign, and return to Christ.

    There are moments in ministry when the burden becomes heavier than the words. Moments when you stand before God with His people on your heart and realize that what troubles you most is not persecution from the outside, but resistance on the inside. God spoke through Jeremiah to a people who were ...read more

    March 13, 2005 Romans 8:16-18 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God or you could even say co-heirs with Christ, since we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
