    based on 2 ratings
     | 7,215 views

    A message from a series from the book of Lamentations

    Grieving is the natural result of us experiencing some type of loss. Well meaning people often say, “I know what you’re going through.” The problem is that it is truly impossible for any human being to know exactly what we’re going through. The reason lies in the fact that grief is a unique ...read more

    "A Friend In Need And A Friend Indeed”

    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Jul 23, 2013
    based on 3 ratings
     | 12,336 views

    Jonathon demonstrates how we might be a friend indeed to a friend who is in need.

    The key verse in our passage for today is verse 15: “While David was at Horesh in the Desert of Ziph, he learned that Saul has come out to take his life.” Now, this verse seems a bit redundant. After all, what is new about the fact that Saul was out to take David’s life? It ...read more

    Momentary Troubles To Eternal Majesty

     | 12,673 views

    God uses trouble to teach His children precious lessons. They are intended to educate us. When their good work is done, a glorious recompense will come to us through them. There is a sweet joy and a real value in them. He does not regard them as difficult

    Momentary troubles to Eternal majesty “For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.” (2 Cor. 4:17). If there is one thing that this world is not short of it is troubles and disadvantages. But turning that adversity into ...read more

    Wait On God Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 15,455 views

    Wait on God. His timetable is not always the same as ours. His ways are different from ours. God's concern is not in bringing us to a destination but in transforming us into the likeness of His Son.

    Now that Saul the King has died, we would expect a smooth transition and David to be made King, as God has so promised. • Since this has been God’s plan all along, we thought everything would be neat and tidy. But it’s not going to be so. • God can work in ways that are ...read more

    Palm Sunday is all about a day when the King of Kings was greatly honored. Because people gave the very best they had.

    There is a legend about an ancient village in Spain. The villagers learned that the king would pay a visit! In a thousand years, a king had never come to that village. Excitement grew! "We must throw a big celebration," The villagers all agreed. But, it was a poor village, and there weren’t ...read more

     | 7,400 views

    In the midst of a rapidly changing culture, with struggles unlike we've faced in the past, how do we overcome and remain vibrant in ministry? Paul answers these vital questions within the text. Those who overcome and remain passionate for the Lord must make necessary preparations.

    Preparing for Perseverance 2 Corinthians 4: 16-18 As we close out another year and stand on the verge of the New Year, no doubt this has been a memorable year for each of us.

    Smyrna: Riches Within Poverty

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 12, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,615 views

    The second church Jesus instructed John to pen a letter was the church in Smyrna. It was situated within a city of great wealth and affluence, and yet many believers lived in poverty. They were not rich by the world's standards, but they were rich in grace.

    Smyrna: Riches within Poverty Revelation 2: 8-11 Today we come to Smyrna, the second church within the series of letters John was instructed to write in the Revelation. It is interesting to note, that of the seven churches, only two received all praise and encouragement from the Lord, with no ...read more

    Committed To Serve Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Sep 1, 2019
     | 8,480 views

    Knowing the disciples would face a difficult and discouraging task at times, Jesus sought to encourage them by reminding them of their standing with God. We too can draw strength from the Lord and need reminded of that which is available to the believer.

    Committed to Serve Matthew 10: 29-33 Jesus had shared much with the disciples prior to sending them out in pairs of two for ministry. He had been very straightforward with them, revealing the difficulties and opposition they would encounter as the proclaimed the Good News. Some would happily ...read more

    The River That Flowed From The Temple In Jerusalam

    Contributed by Revd. Martin Dale on Mar 27, 2020
     | 8,791 views

    In Ezekiel 47, The prophet receives a vision of the River flowing from the Temple and he is invited to cross the River at various crossing. What does each crossing signify.

    Ezekiel 47: 1-12 I love this passage of Scripture, not least because in Ezekiel’s time there was no river in the City of Jerusalem and so it would be impossible for a river to flow from the Temple. You may well say to me, not so. And I will concede that in 2011, while Jerusalem was in the ...read more
