A Prosperity Message

Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on Jul 23, 2016

Don't we all want to be richly blessed, that comfortable retirement, the slippers beside the fire, the 2.5 kids visiting with the 2.5 grandchildren and a golden labrador. Blessings are a wonderful thing!

The verses that are used this month are about blessings, about the countless rewards for the blessed ...read more

"jesus Only" People Series

Contributed by Lanny Smith on Feb 15, 2020

How many things do we need to "add" to Jesus to have a fulfilled life? We find it easy to find comfort, meaning, significance in so many things beside Jesus.

Matthew 6 – Part 1 – Forget The Rewards, I’ll Do It For Free! Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jan 29, 2010

REWARDS IN HEAVEN. Somehow that seems wrong to me. Surely heaven is enough reward and besides, if all sin is regarded as the same and deserving of hell, how can good deeds then be rated on a scale, and rewarded accordingly?

Matthew 6 – Part 1 – FORGET THE REWARDS, I’LL DO IT FOR FREE! Everywhere I look people offer me rewards if I buy this or shop at their store, or buy petrol at certain petrol stations. I am rewarded on my credit card if I buy a certain amount using their card. People at the Super ...read more

Church Buildings?

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Aug 9, 2022

What lessons beside who is my neighbor can be found in the Woman at the Well narrative? Actually, quite a bit. This lesson is that Jesus was not in favor of a centralized building for worship. This restricted the LORD who was spirit and existed everywhere.
