Full Baskets Series

Contributed by Jim Drake on Nov 16, 2009

Today, we are looking at one of the most beloved events in all of the New Testament—the time when Jesus fed the 5000 with five loaves and two fish. But despite our familiarity with the account, there are many things we can still learn from it.

This morning we have come to one of the most beloved stories in all of the Bible. Probably most of us have pictures of this event in our mind from children’s story books or Sunday school lessons. On the one hand, it’s good that many of us are very familiar with this event. But on the other hand, ...read more

What Are We Going To Do

Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 23, 2015

We need to be more like the disciple Andrew, who, while he didn't write any of the books in the Bible, led people to Jesus - people like Simon Peter and the boy in the parable of the loaves and fish. Following Jesus is the source of our power to change.

Living In Limbo

Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Jan 13, 2007

Too many of us are living in spiritual limbo because we have chosen to sit back and ‘let things happen’ or as we say “Let the cards fall where they may”. We often catch glimpses of what God has in mind for us but somehow the vision never becomes reality.

Render To Caesar What Is Caesar's

Contributed by Revd. Martin Dale on Oct 18, 2014

Seemingly a Catch 22 position, yet Jesus wonderfully side steps the controversary. By using the Gk word "apodote" Jesus challenges us even today: "The coin bore Caesar's image: give it back to him. You bear God's image: so give yourself back to Him."
