    A short sermon contrasting a new born baby with the depth of the wonder of God's nature.

    As some of you know, my wife and I had our first baby in August - Joanna. She’s such a little thing: defenceless, can’t move very far on her own, can’t feed, drink or clothe herself, can’t talk, and doesn’t know the Christmas story. But she has got out attention, not ...read more

    In this life as Christians we all can expect to be tested at times by Satan and even the LORD Himself of course without evil.

    A Tried Saint See: Exodus 15:22-27 We find in this passage God leaves these Canaanites in the land to “prove” Israel. The Bible makes it very clear that all through our lives on this earth there will be many times in which we be tested not only by Satan with evil, but also by God ...read more

    Not just reading the Scriptures, or hearing them, but speaking them, owning them!

    O HOW I LOVE YOUR WORD. Psalm 119:97-104. Psalm 119:97. The Blessed man avoids the walk of the ungodly, the stance of sinners and the seat of the scornful. ‘But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in His law does he meditate (both) day and night’ (cf.

    HEALING THE LEPROSY OF SIN. Mark 1:40-45. 1. The leper The various skin diseases which fall under the Biblical heading of ‘leprosy’ have long stood as a metaphor for that worst of all human diseases: sin.

     | 2,816 views

    The description of 'End Times', and prophecies of judgement may seem gloomy and depressing. No doubt these will be difficult times. But having gone through that, we will come into a very, very good situation.

    In today’s Reflection I’m looking at why we can be encouraged, even as we think about ‘End Times’ and God’s judgement. We don’t know if we are in such a time, but suppose we are? Jesus described the various signs that will accompany ‘End Times’ as ‘the beginning of birth pains.’ Painful, but the ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,398 views

    The problem that faces every Christian is how to ascertain the will of God

    A Christian is one who has renounced his own will and submits to the will of God for his life. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20; this was true of Paul when he said, “Lord, what will thou have me to do?” The same should be true of us. When we are saved, we make as unconditional surrender to God. The problem ...read more
