    In Christ, we have a living Saviour who lives and hears our prayers. In Him, we can experience the power of the resurrection.

    In Jesus, we have the power to change. Let’s read the encounter of 2 disciples of Christ – Acts 3:1-10. And Paul’s words - Phil 3:10 “I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection…” We see here two very confident disciples Peter and John. • They saw a man in need, a crippled man – on ...read more

    It stood like a lonely sentinel guarding an indefensible post. There were no hills to hide it, no great height to offer any fortified advantage.

    God Speaks Into Our Darkness

    Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Dec 14, 2014
     | 7,999 views

    A perspective on John 8: 12. To live in hope can inversely imply that there is darkness in a person’s life. It reveals a need for a saviour who can speak into that darkness and bring forth light and life.

    John 8: 12 God speaks into our darkness In the beginning of the Bible the very first words that we hear God speak are, “Let there be light.” And God saw that the light was good. The context into which God spoke was darkness. From out of the darkness God created light and life. From ...read more

    Give Thanks Always?

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Dec 30, 2019
     | 3,817 views

    When will you give thanks? Our thankfulness is so often dependent upon the circumstances of our lives. Find a continual source of gratefulness in God and what he has and continues to do for you in Christ Jesus.

    What do you see? Is the glass half empty or is the glass half full? The answer is, “Yes” since both are true. But we sometimes use that expression to describe a person’s outlook on life. Are you a glass-half-full kind of person – the optimist, OR are you a glass-half-empty kind of person, the ...read more

    The Return Of Christ Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 24, 2022
     | 2,559 views

    When a believer dies, others are not to grieve like those who have no hope in Christ. But for believers we are grieving for ourselves and our loss, not for the person that died. This assurance believers have is because of the hope we have in Christ.

    Do we know the exact time of the return of the Lord? Yes, we do! But didn’t Jesus say, “that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven” (Mathew 24:36). Yes, He did say that. Then how do we know the day and hour of the return of Christ? It is when the trumpet sounds. It is just ...read more

    The Many Moods Of Christmas

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jan 2, 2018
     | 4,372 views

    Everyone is so concerned about "Merry Christmas" verses "Happy Holidays". What about the context of either saying? Are you going through a good time in life? Then it is Merry but if you're going through a rough patch it can feel like salt in a wound.

    Please open your Bibles to Luke 2:8-20 which we will read in a few minutes. In this part of the narrative of the Christmas story we read of the encounter of the angels with the shepherds on the night of the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. With that in mind lets go ahead and read Luke 2:8-20. In ...read more
