Everything belongs to Him but He has given us money as a trust in this life. • We talked about the tithe – 10% of what we have. God wants us to RETURN to Him as a way of honouring His ownership over ...read more

Getting out of school? Perhaps you would like to change your very body – be taller or shorter, ...read more

     | 5,099 views

    Most people will agree in principle that the one who gives is more blessed than the one who receives. But they still struggle with giving – often because they can’t give. They have too many bills and are struggling to get by.

    Satisfied. Last Sunday I began a series of messages called “Satisfied.” that is about money – except it’s not really about money. It’s about life. In that message I pointed out three lies that sounded like truths and three truths that sounded like lies. Three lies The ...read more

    Find Joy In Everything You Do

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,522 views

    It has been said that “Joy is the surest sign of the presence of God.” Or it has been said that “Joy is the flag that flies over the castle of our hearts announcing that the King is in residence today!”

    What is your greatest joy? Is there something that continually brings joy to you? Or, if you were to look back over your whole life to determine what brought you the greatest joy, what would it be? I believe that true joy only comes from our Creator. When our earth was formed, it was created to ...read more

    The Bible doesn’t promise that life on earth would be pleasant for believers. Neither is it the will of God for us to just strive or survive; His plan is for us to thrive and be fruitful.

    THRIVING IN A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT "12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him. 13 The man began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous; 14 for he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a ...read more
