Spying is a dangerous business. It’s a practice that’s probably been around as long as men and countries have gone to war against each other.

The Two Pillars Of Godly Support: Belief And Love - 1john 3:23 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 5, 2022

Some Christians, when they are more established, very imperceptibly, lessen the trust in the Lord, and place it more in their own ability and decision-making. Not consciously, but bit by bit, they take back control of their own lives, and wonder why God seems absent. We look at belief and love.

MESSAGE – THE TWO PILLARS OF GODLY SUPPORT: BELIEF AND LOVE - 1John 3:23 We will be looking at a verse in the first letter of John but just to place it into context we will look at 4 verses – {{1 John 3 v 21-24, but it is verse 23 that is our focus. 1John 3 v 21 “Beloved, if our heart does not ...read more

God is working, almost invisibly, to draw his creation back to his heart. Come and see how God is working, even without giving all the details to this young couple.

What Mary and Joseph Didn’t Know The Christmas story is a remarkably well-known one.

Seals And Trumpets And Bowls, Oh My! (Revelation 6-16) Series

Contributed by James Jackson on Nov 8, 2025

Revelation 6–16 can feel like the scariest part of the journey—war, famine, plagues, and wrath. But behind every seal, trumpet, and bowl stands a merciful God whose justice is never chaotic, always redemptive. When God wins, we win—and the story that began with mercy ends with mercy.

Good morning! Please open your Bibles to Revelation 6. Some of you may find this hard to believe, but back in the olden days—the 1970s—there was no streaming, no DVDs, and definitely no pause button. VCRs existed, but they cost over a thousand dollars, so nobody you knew actually had one. If ...read more
