    We had a baptism this morning, and I think if you’d searched through the Bible for the most inappropriate Gospel story to feature today, you couldn’t have done better (or rather worse) that the one we had this morning - the story of the death of John the Baptist!

    Through union with Christ’s death and resurrection, believers receive a new identity, freedom from sin, and the power to live transformed lives.

    Friend, take a deep breath. The God who raised Jesus Christ from the dead is nearer than your next heartbeat. He is not reluctant. He is not distant. He is ready—ready to speak life where you’ve heard only the rustle of regret, ready to steady trembling hands and tired hearts. I think of a ...read more

    Are You A Believer?

    Contributed by Stuart Blount on Sep 23, 2011
     | 8,185 views

    BELIEVING is more than simply saying the right things. BELIEVING is the way we receive all the benefits of God’s eternal plan.

    Acts 11:26 (NLT) It was at Antioch that the believers were first called Christians. The title is actually only used 3 times in scripture (Acts 11:26 ; Acts 26:28 ; 1 Peter 4:16) But in the New Testament other terms were more commonly used, followers, disciples and BELIEVERS. Acts 5:12 ...read more

    The Blind See, The Sighted Are Blind

    based on 30 ratings
     | 11,060 views

    The miracle of a blind man receiving his sight addresses the Problem of Affliction and Healing and that criticism by the Pharisees brought out both negative and positive reaction.

    There’s a saying that ‘There’s none as blind as those who won’t see!’ As Helen Keller said: ‘What would be worse than being born blind? To have sight without vision.’ It’s certainly true in the encounter that Jesus had with the Pharisees on the occasion when He healed a man who had been born ...read more
