Should these very same people hike ...read more

    Being Prayerful Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Aug 23, 2019
     | 2,997 views

    Recognising that many prayers in the New Testament are in the plural and focus on community, not just individuals, this messages gathers many New Testament Scriptures to teach from Scripture how a church in fellowship together is to be a prayerful church.

    Note to preachers This sermon is a collecting of verses all about prayer. I used a power point presentation as I preached so the verses easily followed one another. On the power point I underlines where the words were in the plural to emphasise the community fellowship aspect of prayer. ...read more

     | 11,324 views

    Feelings are real – we truly experience them. We don’t imagine them and God has created us with the capacity for an incredibly wide range of emotions and feelings. If we regularly read the Bible and think about God’s promises, our faith will increase.

    Faith is more than a feeling How do you feel right now? Have you ever thought about how many emotions and feelings we can have? Do you find it easy to express emotions? For example do you often watch a movie and find yourself crying tears of joy or sadness. Be honest, when you watched the film ...read more

    Living In Lack In The Middle Of Abundance

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Jul 4, 2025
     | 656 views

    As Christians, if we are called to live in the abundance of God’s provision, love, and grace, why are so many of us living in a mindset of lack—spiritually, emotionally, and even materially? Why do we say that we serve a God of abundance, and settle for scarcity?

    John 10:10 – “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” Philippians 4:19 – “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” Introduction: As Christians, if we are called to live in the ...read more
