    Sometimes our routines keep God from working, so He brings change and even persecution to awaken us as to what He is doing.

    The Transition from “Jews for Jesus” to “Semi-Jews for Jesus” (Acts 8:1-8) 1. People try playing all sorts of tricks. Two friends run into each other while walking their dogs. One suggests lunch. The other says, "They won’t let us in a restaurant with pets." Undeterred, the first guy and his ...read more

The disciples come up short, way short in their attempts to feed the thousands of people in today’s Gospel ...read more

    Christmas means

    The recent discovery of an ossuary (bone box) in Jerusalem that contained the phrase “James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus” has rekindled the controversy as to whether Mary had children other than Jesus.

    Outliing the need to work together even when there are people we do not like are part of the team. Put the armour of light on and bury the clock of darkness.

    A church that has a vacancy can often cause worry to its members especially nowadays as we search for the right person to come and fill the vacancy. In the days of old, it used to be a whole lot easier to fill a vacant pulpit; we went to the Union and asked them who they had available? Who would ...read more

    How To Be A Priest

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 21, 2015
     | 4,097 views

    So how are we like priests? We are appointed by God. We sacrifice ourselves and our desires to God. We continually pray to God about the human condition.

    Each and every one of us can be a priest! Does that statement make sense to you? After all, when we hear the word “priest” we often think of the ordained clergy who preside at weddings, funerals, baptisms or weekly worship services. The truth is, we are all priests. Let me explain by ...read more

    The world sees a phrase like "you are just, O Lord" and "sinlessness" and thinks they are a foreign tongue. But we need to turn the world on its head so they can see the need for forgiveness, and its availability.

    The season of Christmas is upon us! At what point did this realisation hit you? * When you saw decorations going up in shopping centres - something which always seems to happen way to early (ie.
