    Suffering trials is a strange place to find anyone rejoicing, yet that is the surprising instruction of God for us in Christ.

    At the heart of the gospel is the amazing truth of how God is willing to suffer to redeem us. Jesus experienced firsthand the greatest human trial imaginable. He endured being betrayed by on of the 12 apostles, deserted by all his closest friends and followers, falsely accused, being mocked and ...read more

    God loves to help those who have no-one else to turn to. Here's his plan for surviving when our lives come crashing down.

    We often think that plane crashes are catastrophic and unsurvivable events. Thanks to movies and 24/7 news channels, most of us think that all plane crashes end in a free fall from 30,000ft and a terrifying fireball. It might surprise you to learn that most plane crashes are actually survivable. ...read more

    "i Speak As To Children"

    Contributed by Kyle Campbell on Aug 15, 2022
     | 1,695 views

    In 2 Corinthians 6:13 Paul said, “I speak as to children” which obviously shows Paul’s concern and love. In this text we can find several instructions that’ll benefit the children with whom God has blessed us (Psalm 127:3-5).

    Introduction. The Bible occasionally contains passages of dual application. An example of this would be in Ephesians 5:22-32 where Paul teaches about the relationship of husbands and wives, which he likens to Christ and the church. A similar passage is in 2 Corinthians 6:11-18 where Paul makes ...read more
