    Our prayer life is a indicator of our reliance upon God. God’s will for each of us is that we so rely on Him that prayer is a spontaneous activity throughout our daily life as individuals and throughout our weekly activities as a church family.

    Last time, we thought together about how it is God’s will for each of His children to be joyful. Now today, I want us to spend some time reflecting on the second thing that Paul says is God’s will for each of us - v. 17. There are two ways in which this needs to be applied: 1. It must be applied ...read more

    A message of how our salvation is not something relegated to the past; something that happened to us "once", but is actively being worked on in the present.

    We Christians talk a lot about our being saved, don’t we? But have you ever noticed that it always seems to be in the past tense? ‘Have you been saved?’ ‘When were you saved?’ I think the more appropriate, and perhaps the most accurate way of asking about one’s salvation would be, ‘Are you ...read more
