    An Easter sermon, what a year 2020 has been, a new appointment for us in Fiji. For the world a time of trial as it responds to COVID 19. We are in lockdown, but in Christ, there is so much to celebrate and be grateful for. Because of him we are no longer lost! He's alive.

    As a child I was an avid reader and one of the first novels I ever read was by Jules Verne –“Journey to the Center of the Earth.” It was amazing as this crew boarded a rocket that drilled itself into the core of the earth and discovered it was hollow. There was a whole new world they didn’t know ...read more

    His first words from the cross was the judgement of the people who had unjustly put Him on that rude throne: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

    Christ the King 2022 Those of you who are very familiar with the psalm we just sang, Psalm 122, may realize that the Church omits the last few verses of the prayer today. The last part of the psalm takes time to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. That makes a great deal of sense in the context of ...read more

    The Scientific Brilliance Of Genesis 1: A Second Helping

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 22, 2022

     | 1,185 views

    One of the first sermons I wrote and posted for this site dealt with the scientific brilliance found in the first chapter of Genesis. There are other scientific standards found in this opening chapter of the inerrant and all-sufficient Word of God, and they are worth exploring and affirming.

    When I read the first chapter of Genesis, I do not see the development of an ancient myth or legend. I do not see the fruit of an overactive imagination of an anonymous sage trying to explain to his "backward" clan or tribe of how they came to be. I do not see any collection of ...read more
