    You only go around once in life, so you've got to grab for all the gusto you can." Some of you may remember that television commercial. But, what exactly is gusto?

The Scripture Readings for this day were: Proverbs 31:10-31; Psalm 1:1-6; James 3:13-4:8 and Mark 9:30-37. You only go around once in life, .....so you've got to grab .....for all the gusto you ...read more

    What Else Can I Do?

    Contributed by James Kevin Bachmann on Nov 17, 2011
     | 3,114 views

    Christians can discover what more they can do for Christ by asking themselves "What else, What more, When else, and Why else?"so as to be numbered among the sheep rather than the goats.

    What More Can I Do? The Parable of the Talents dealt with the obligation of people who have received special gifts to increase them, add “interest" by applying and developing them. Today in the Judgment of the Nations referring to ordinary Christians rather than just the leadership, there ...read more

    Won’t We Get A Second Chance? Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,970 views

    Universalism suggests that everyone will be saved because they will realise their error shortly after death. God warns that such thinking is wrong, and now calls all people to life in His Son.

    “Just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.” God is God of the second chance, the third chance, the ...read more

    Life can cut you wide open. More dangerous than the cuts of life, is the very real danger that spiritual bacteria will take advantage of the situation and turn a person from God.

    Opportunistic Infections An opportunistic infection is an infection caused by pathogens, that take advantage of certain situations. These infections usually do not cause disease in a healthy host, a compromised immune system, however, presents an "opportunity" for the pathogen to infect. Today ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 30,514 views

    We are all youth. As youth, we encounter the culture of society that continues to redefine sin as something more acceptable to secular eyes. We need to keep God's Word close to remain true to His wisdom.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,820 views

    Does the doctrine of Hell deny a loving God? If Hell is real what should our response be?

    This is a series based on and heavily dependent on Timothy Keller’s Best Seller "The Reason For God" for which I’m deeply grateful. It uses much of his argument though with various additions by myself or the other preachers of the series. A lake of fire, of unquenchable fire, chains of ...read more

    Sensing And Receiving God's Peace

    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,663 views

    Jesus promises us peace, and His entrance into Jerusalem demonstrates He is the prince of peace. This explores what it means for us to have Jesus’ peace

    Could I get an indication of who here desires conflict, fighting, feeling uneasy? (What no one? I thought there would be one or two) Most people desire peace. Having God’s peace in our hearts is something God wants all of us to have. Listen to Colossians 3:15 Let the peace of Christ rule in ...read more
