Heart Of Worship

Contributed by Brien Sims on Jun 17, 2008

Worship can become an awe-inspiring event every Sunday, something to look forward to, and a reconnection to God.

“I am sick and tired of you not doing what you are told.” Does this sound familiar to anyone else here? My dad used to say this all the time when I didn’t complete my chores or just do what he said in general. Now, some of you have probably imitated your parents and now you say the same thing or ...read more

A Change Of Clothing

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Jan 13, 2019

Please Pass The Salt

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Sep 19, 2018

Seek Ye First!

Contributed by Melvin Newland on Jan 25, 2017

Prayer (1) Gideon’s Prayer Regarding A Fleece

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jun 7, 2020

Most commentators criticise Gideon, feeling that his prayer demonstrates a lack of faith. But given how positively the New Testament views Gideon, we should be inclined to take a positive view of his prayer. It's a very sensible prayer, and a great example to us.

Today we’re starting a short series on prayer, and looking at a prayer which Gideon prayed. It’s in Judges 6:36-40. Introduction First, let’s look at the situation Gideon was in before we look at his prayer. We may think, ‘We pray, God answers. Simple.’ But when we look at what was going on at ...read more

Seek The Lord Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on May 23, 2011

This revival was a result of King Asa's personal seeking of God and leading the nation to seek God. Then even against incredible odds they continued to trust God and rely on His intervention and by God’s grace defeated their enemy.

2 Chronicles 14-16 SEEK THE LORD [1 Kings 15:9-24] God is not limited. Though usually God brings revival during times of apostasy and tragedy, He can also bring revival during times of reformation and prosperity. The revival in the fifteenth year of the Judean King Asa was during a ...read more
