Faith Like A Dog

Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Oct 28, 2014

Faith in Jesus brought the Canaanite woman into his presence. Her faith was pleasing to Jesus, and he blessed her through it, and included her into table fellowship with him. Faith in Jesus makes us acceptable to him and a delight.

Mercy In Judgement

Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Dec 14, 2014

A perspective on John 3: 14-21. Impatience is the symptom of not trusting God to fulfil his promises to us. As a result, we try to make our own plans, go our own way, and hopefully avoid the 'snakes' on the way.

Sticks And Stones

Contributed by David Roth on May 2, 2020

Easter 5(A) In His death Christ opened an ocean of mercy for the whole world. We who have received that mercy, who live in His mercy, cannot help but to be merciful and forgiving towards others. Christ forgives so we forgive. He has forgiven us and removed our hearts of stone.

J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. “Sticks and Stones” The word of the risen Christ spread quickly. The disciples needed help in caring for the widows and orphans. They choose Stephen. He ...read more

Nazareth’s Second Rejection Of Christ Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Aug 10, 2017

Unbelief And Faith

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Apr 8, 2017

What does unanswered prayer say about our level of faith? Many of us believe we're walking in more faith than we really are.

A couple of years ago I came face to face with a very sobering and heart-wrenching revelation: my faith was not where I thought it was. But I didn’t know that until “I didn’t see” the faith results I was seeking. I had convinced myself that my faith was at a place where it was not. A very dear ...read more
