     | 32 views

    Christians recognise Jesus as the fullest fulfilment of the ideal king in this chapter.

    THY KINGDOM COME. Psalm 72:1-2, Psalm 72:12-13, Psalm 72:18-20.

    We often struggle to see beyond our immediate challenges, yet Nahum was able to perceive something greater. His deep understanding of God's Grace allowed him to see beyond his immediate circumstances and emotions.

Although the book of Nahum can be challenging to read and preach from, it is important to note that the minor prophets' messages are just as significant as those of the major prophets. The book ...read more

    The Power To Change Series

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Mar 4, 2026
     | 193 views

    Through the Holy Spirit, we have the power to grow and change in Christ. And the more that God changes us to be like Christ, the more we are able to know him and to experience his love for us.

    Over the last few weeks, our theme has been “power”. We looked at what the Bible says concerning God the Holy Spirit, who gives us the ability to love one another and who leads us into the truth. And we studied what the Bible tells us about Prayer and the reading of the Word, two important means by ...read more
