    The heart cry of God to the church today is to raise a new generation of born again Christians. This generation of Christians are like post- Joshua generation Christians who knew not the Lord.We need a brand new generation.

    Judges 2:10-15 NIV "After that whole generation had been gathered to their ancestors, another generation grew up who knew neither the Lord nor what he had done for Israel. 11 Then the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord and served the Baals. 12 They forsook the Lord, the God of their ...read more

    An overview of Luke's account of the nativity.

    A CHRISTMAS BIBLE STUDY. Luke 1:1-2:20. Luke writes in an exquisite, almost classical Greek style. However, the first two chapters of his Gospel are unashamedly Jewish, painting his message onto a graphic Old Testament background. Here you will meet with angels; you will read of the barren ...read more

    Malachi Chapter 3 Has Nothing To Do With The False Prosperity Doctrine – Nothing Whatever (In The Jude Series) Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 24, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,991 views

    The preachers of the “health and wealth” teaching - the "prosperity doctrine", love this chapter in Malachi but they are totally wrong in the exegesis. They use this chapter to rake in money from people. False teachers lead people into a desire for greed and then scam money from them.

    MALACHI CHAPTER 3 HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FALSE PROSPERITY DOCTRINE – NOTHING WHATEVER This message has been placed in the JUDE series because Balaam is very much to the fore. Balaam was a focus in Jude’s letter. The preachers who subscribe to the “health and wealth” teaching otherwise known ...read more

    The Resurrection of Jesus gives hope. Hope to people who are crushed. Hope for our bodies and for this created world.

    One of our boys talks in his sleep. We were on holiday, had been watching The Lord of the Rings, and were sharing a room in a B and B, when our comatose 12-year-old declared: ‘Don’t worry mummy. Hope is kindled!’ The resurrection of Jesus gives hope 1. It gives hope to ...read more

    Peter might be riding high on the cloud of joy and excitement as he is reporting to the Church of Jerusalem the advancement of God’s Kingdom to the Gentile. But instead of appreciation and recognition, what he received is objection and criticism. Let's se

    Gathering Together Under The Word

    Contributed by Travis L. Billings on Sep 28, 2020
     | 2,462 views

    It is obvious that the Spirit of God was moving and working in the hearts of those in Jerusalem even before reading the Word of God. Generally speaking, people do not often gather together as one for God “unless the Father draws them (John 6:44).”

    Last week, we spoke the fact that GOD IS NOT ONLY CONCERNED WITH WHAT IS CREATED, HE IS CONCERNED WITH HOW WE TAKE CARE OF WHAT WAS CREATED. Nehemiah began moving from the building project itself, to taking the necessary steps to insure that what was built (or created) would be protected and ...read more
