No Such Thing As Free Lunch? Series

Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Jun 22, 2017

Nothing in life is free. EVER. In Romans 5, Paul tells us of one thing that is entirely free: God's Grace.

How do you introduce yourself to a person you already sort of know? It is an awkward thing, isn’t it? It is weird to start with your name, since they already know it, and you know theirs. On the other hand though, you just cannot easily go into a conversation since you don’t really know the ...read more

What Is The Lord Saying To The Church?

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Apr 21, 2012

Using Revelation 2 and 3 as a spring-board, this is the talk given at our Church annual meeting 2012. I believe the Lord is calling us to return to him as our first love, and to listen to his voice through the Bible and in prayer.

What follows is a local attempt to interpret these chapters to our situation] What is the Lord saying to His ...read more
