    If we are to live like our Lord, then our lives will be characterized by love.

    In this section of Scripture, the key verse is verse 6. John tells us that as followers of Jesus, we should aspire to live like Him. But what does a Christ-like life look like? John says a Christ-like life is characterized by one primary virtue - Love! This shouldn't surprise us at all, since ...read more

     | 2,845 views

    Have you ever wondered: Why does God allow suffering in our lives? When we talk about why God allows suffering in our lives and how we can cope and do it to overcome it. It is not common to address their origin and causes.

     | 2,235 views

    There’s not a one of us that hasn’t had to exercise the power of forgiveness on a regular basis. We are humans surrounded by humans, there is a lot to forgive.

    Introduction There’s not a one of us that hasn’t had to exercise the power of forgiveness on a regular basis. We are humans surrounded by humans, there is a lot to forgive.

     | 3,277 views

    Most people see the value of this command to love others as Jesus loved us, but do we really know what love is?

    A few weeks ago we talked about living a life of loyalty. Last week we talked about living our lives trusting God. Today let's talk about a life that's filled with love. In every case, whether it be loyalty, trust, or love, we have to have some sort of experience in order to appreciate ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,423 views

    We all make judgments practically every day. Some are quick and quite subtle, while others are more deliberate and obvious. Believers must ensure their judgments are biblical, and measured with grace.

    The Verdict on Judgment Matthew 7: 1-5 We have come to a new chapter in our study of the Sermon on the Mount, but it is just a continuation of the thoughts of our Lord. We have considered and discussed many practical subjects that deal with human life and practice in our study and we continue to ...read more

     | 13,243 views

    The main purpose of this parable is to get us to ask a question. Do we have this unique Jesus-character of pity and compassion? A Jesus-character that is at the heart of being a neighbour.

    Message Luke 10:25-37 The Good Samaritan Today we are going to look at a parable which – probably – is the most well-known of all of Jesus parables. Why do I say this? Well in Clarence Town, which is the Hunter Valley in New South Wales, there is an organisation which rescues donkeys from ill ...read more

    Win As Many As Possible

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jun 29, 2025
     | 526 views

    If we look at the world as the Lord does, we will, like the apostle Paul, see every person as one for whom Christ died, a person whom the Lord loves and desires to be in His family.

    Carry Them To Jesus Series

    Contributed by Kory Labbe on Feb 7, 2026
     | 81 views

    Faith was never meant to be lived alone. In Mark 2, we discover that sometimes the boldest belief isn’t found in the person who is healed—but in the friends who refuse to leave them where they are and carry them to Jesus.

    Introduction– There are moments in life when faith feels strong. And there are moments when faith feels… heavy. Heavy because of grief. Heavy because of exhaustion. Heavy because you’ve prayed the same prayer longer than you ever expected to. And here’s the truth we don’t say out loud enough in ...read more

     | 1,964 views

    Is there any guide that would help us to choose what is right in God’s eyes? And if we have an idea of God’s choices, should we not consider them the best option for us to have? What are some choices then that are in line with the Sovereign Will of God?

    If you were called as a witness for Christ, what would you stay? Are you prepared to take the stand?

    If you’re going to tell people about Christ, you have to make it personal. What better way than to tell people what you’ve seen and how it’s impacted you personally.
