Christmas Eve -The Power Of Belief

Contributed by Peter Loughman on Dec 23, 2009

Its not WHAT I believe in, it is WHO I place my faith in. WHO I place my faith in is stronger, for Jesus is able to overcome what I am not able to overcome.

Belief is a powerful thing. What I believe in makes me who I am, I am what I believe. What we believe molds us into who we are; What we believe colors our view of the world around us; What we believe motivates us to stand up for something or stand up against something. What we believe in may ...read more

Crossing The Line Series

Contributed by David Richardson on Apr 17, 2008

Man is ultimately responsible for any and all of his actions. Nowhere in the Bible will you find a verse that excuses man’s sin. Rather what it does prove is that we have an all-knowing God, an omniscient God.

Crossing the Line Scripture: Romans 3:5-6 5 But if our unrighteousness brings out God’s righteousness more clearly, what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.) 6 Certainly not! If that were so, how could God judge the world? 7 Someone might ...read more

Delighting In God's Law

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Sep 20, 2020

God's law is the basis for the psalmist to be blameless, and that is the basis for him to enjoy God's favour. The psalmist respects God's law, relies on it, delights in it, and asks God to teach him it. But can he be blameless? The answer is yes.

It's A Miracle! It's A God Thing! Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 15, 2021

The people of God had a thirst for the living God. There’s a hunger for God’s presence. If you want to deepen your experience of Jesus, it’s nearly always because of times of extraordinary prayer.
