Our first parents were place in Paradise and through wilful disobedience it turned to Paradise Lost bringing discord and death but God in Christ made possible Paradise Regained by redemption.

Mary the "Slave-Girl" Luke 1:26-38 Pastor Dave Campbell Mary must have been quite a girl. To be chosen of God to bear His Son and raise Him to adulthood was no small thing!

War Against Anxiety Demons

Contributed by Daniel Olukoya on May 14, 2004

Any concern too small to be turned into prayer is too small to be made into a burden, so worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its strength.

Palm 37:8: “Cease from anger, and forsake wrath. Fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.” This is simply saying, “Don’t let your anxiety drive you to a point where you will sin against God.” Proverbs 12:25: “Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop; but a good word maketh it glad.” This is ...read more

Christmas - Risking Your Reputation By Obeying God!

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 15, 2007

Joseph had made a biblical, lawful and compassionate decision to quietly divorce Mary, but obeying God was more important to him than protecting his reputation. How about you?

Joseph was a “righteous man” (1:19). He knew what was right and he was ready to act upon it. Joseph was engaged to Mary but they were not yet living together (1:18) and of course that immediately sounds strange to most 21st century people. Engaged but not living together! Yet there is even more to ...read more
