    In fearful times, there are also signs of hope. Some turn everything into a sign of fear and conflict. Others can see hope if they allow others to succeed. The child Jesus is a sign of such hope.

    "The time of fear is over; now comes the time of hope." These words were spoken in the most unlikely of situations. A French novelist, Tristan Bernard, and his wife, were being put into prison by the Gestapo, after the Nazis had overrun France. They were being sent to a concentration camp; ...read more

    How do we enter into the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ. We will explore the intimacy of the Table found in the Tabernacle. We will examine what it means to sit at the table of shew bread where we come into a holy place and it forever change us.

    COME TO THE TABLE We have been examining Gods house – The tabernacle. In our last few messages we have examined authentic worship God’s style by stepping through the gates of the Tabernacle and slowly making our way through Gods showroom of special designed furniture for his house of ...read more

    Now that we know the attitude we are to have to be called Jesus’ disciples, as a disciple we are to produce fruit.

    We have spent the last 8 Sundays discussing the beatitudes from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. These are very important first steps as we take a detailed look at Becoming a Better Christian. Let me remind you that to be a Christian requires us to have a responsibility. When we become a ...read more

    In our text, let's consider what the imperishable Word of God produces in people: 1- Purification 2- Love 3- Eternity

    INTRO.- Many good things don't last long, do they? A good pair of shoes. A favorite pair of jeans. A favorite car or truck. Many things wear out unless we get rid of them before that time. We hate to part with some things. And how about the human body? Whew! Man, does it ever perish or fade ...read more

    What does it mean to be a neighbor to someone? How is it that we are to love others as ourselves? It is because God sets the pace for his people.

    Years ago PBS featured a program where the host would enter the studio, take off his cardigan sweater, and his dress shoes and put on some sneakers – all the while singing his signature song: “It’s a beautiful day in this neighborhood A beautiful day for a neighbor Won’t ...read more

    God fashioned an anchor of hope for us, so that we can ride out our storms. We’re going to look at the purpose of this anchor, what it’s made of, how we hold onto it, and how it holds us.

    THE ANCHOR Heb. 6:16-20a INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR Husband/Wife Follies 1. A husband asked his wife about what she wanted for her birthday.

    Are we truly a broken people with a contrite heart? We just can’t move forward in revival till we come to that place of brokenness in our lives. The simple equation is no brokenness, no revival.

    Illustration: In the latter part of the 20th century, my wife Maureena and I would covertly minister to a group of young ladies in the jabels of the Arabian Peninsula who displayed immense boldness to live out Christ through their lives daily. Some of them were nurses and a few were teachers ...read more

    Problems come. It's part of life. What are some general principles we need to follow when they do? We look at one of the greatest problems / difficulties / challenges in the history of God's people - the destruction of Jerusalem at the hands of the Babylonians and the exile - for lessons.

    Everyone faces problems from time to time. Churches also face problems. For example, a church might unexpectedly lose its pastor and some other key members of its leadership at around the same time. If that happened, how would you view it? Perhaps some of you would say that it’s a CHALLENGE, ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 31, 2022
     | 2,850 views

    We will look at the marvellous "I AMs" of John’s Gospel, which mean “I, I am.” It stamped the authority of Jesus as the Elohim of the Old Testament. It's used in John 6 where the disciples battled the storm and Jesus drew near with the assurance and authority of “I, I AM”.

    A VERY SPECIAL “I AM” OF JOHN’S GOSPEL – “EGO EIMI” – “I, I AM” – SO MUCH COMFORT IN IT – PART 1 SHORT INTRODUCTION In John’s Gospel there are found very crucial sayings of the Lord Jesus all containing “I AM”.

    Wilfulness is sin on a mission and Lot edged closer and closer. The world holds attractions for people, like the fishing spider that dangles a blob on the end of strands of web to allure its victims and pounces. Sodom was alluring Lot and about to pounce.

    LOT – PART 2 – A LOT OF TROUBLE FOR GOD – FOR ABRAHAM – AND FOR HIMSELF – GENESIS 13 – 14 - LOT IN SODOM INTRODUCTION We take up this account from where we left off last time.
