    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 9, 2023
     | 1,490 views

    Peter sees mercy as the great operating factor in our salvation, producing a living hope, an inheritance that is reserved in heaven, imperishable and pure. God’s mercy which flowed from God’s love, will not disappoint. This living hope can not disappoint because its roots lie with a merciful God.

    Who Is Jesus To You? Series

     | 862 views

    We all face judgments from other people. Jesus faced that too. As He began his earthly ministry, Jesus experienced two completely different responses from two different towns. How will you respond?

I know, by virtue of the fact that I’m a pastor, when I introduce myself to people, they make an immediate judgment. If they ...read more

    Where have they gone? I am losing all my friends and it is accelerating. This examination is on the passing of a Christian from earth, or if you like, the removal of Christ’s sheep into the heavenly fold. This subject is sad for some, but for all Christians it ought to be understood.
