The Transforming Gospel

Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Mar 10, 2001

Paul makes a special plea to his friend Philemon concerning his run-away slave but now a Christian, showing how the gospel transforms all relationships.

THE TRANSFORMING GOSPEL Letter writing is almost a lost art. We’d rather pick up the phone or dash off an e-mail but I’m glad that Paul used pen and ink. Doubtless Paul, being a man of letters and bubbling over with ideas for the spread of the gospel, must have written many ...read more

"all Aboard?!"

Contributed by Dwight Davis on Jun 22, 2002

The account of the great flood holds many spiritual lessons for the Christian today, for this story parallels the spiritual condition of our generation and gives us a glimpse of not only God’s judgement but also His grace.

“All Aboard?!” Did you know that there were only ten generations from Adam to Noah? Think about it; only ten generations from the point when God created man perfectly and in “His image”, until he became so corrupt...that, when God looked down he saw; “.....that every ...read more

Has Your Name Been Changed?

Contributed by James May on May 1, 2005

Names in the Bible have very special meanings and often, when placed together, give special messages to God’s people. Has your name been changed to tell the story of Jesus in your life?

HAS YOUR NAME BEEN CHANGED? By Pastor Jim May All through the Bible there are lists of names called genealogies. Since we do not believe that there are any accidents in the placing of these names, I thought it might be interesting to see what a few of them would tell us. Every name in the Bible ...read more
