Contributed by Christian Cheong on Feb 2, 2019

We stand firm and do the work of God, not discouraged by ridicule, intimidation and threats, because God is with us and we are doing God's will.

Last week we saw the beautiful picture of the people of God coming together to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem – people of different skills and occupations, young and old, men and women – all having to stop their usual work and take up the work of God. • There is unity in the diversity.

Hope Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

Peter says we are to be ready at all times to give a reason for our hope. All of the reasons for our having hope are found in God and not in ourselves.

Peter writes to Christians who are suffering persecution, and they are soon to experience the full force of the wrath of Nero. He will lash out at them in fury. Does he therefore begin with tears fo despair? Not at all. He begins with a triumphant doxology: “Praise be to the God and Father of our ...read more

A few of you have been around to my house. I have to confess that it’s now been three years and I still haven’t put up most of the framed pictures I have.

James Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Apr 9, 2022

Even after more than two years of miracles, James is a skeptic. It would, after all, be rather hard to swallow the idea that the brother you had grown up with was the Son of God.

Jesus came from a big family. Matthew 13:55-56 names Jesus' brothers: James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas and mentions sisters (plural), so He had at least six siblings. James is consistently named first when Jesus' brothers are listed, which in his day likely meant that he was the eldest of ...read more
