    We can never outrun God or hide from His presence. No matter where we go be it to the highest heavens, or the depths of hell or as far away as we can imagine, the Psalmist declared that His hand is able to hold and guide us.

    Freedom from captivity Chapter 11 – Are you trying to Hide or Run? We read in 2 Corinthians 5:18, “All this is done by God, who through Christ changed us from enemies into his friends and gave us the task of making others his friends also.” (GNT) Have we considered all the marvelous things God ...read more

    Martha is well-to-do and highly respected within her community. She lives in a big house . She lived with her sister Mary and her brother Lazarus. They were a Jewish family who were friends and followers of Jesus

    Martha - the hostess Luke 10:38-42, John 11:1-44 Martha has received quite a lot of criticism over the years, for every woman is told not to be like Martha, and consequently they heave upon themselves the burden of guilt and condemnation when they are.

    The Jews were very troubled with grace, because they needed laws to follow; particularly as the message of the New Testament suggested that they were above the law. They were very confused just like many Christians today. So let us put Grace into context.

    God's Love Has Content!

     | 7,208 views

    Our society values inclusiveness and acceptance. But sometimes the Bible presents us with a God that divides and separates. James 4:1=12 seems to be one of these passages. Or, is it?

    In our society one of the worst things that can be said of us is, “They are so divisive”. Our society is all about inclusiveness. We are all about acceptance; all about respecting differences; all about making room for all. That is what makes preaching from James 4:1-12 difficult. It is so ...read more

    An opportunity to turn back to the God who awaits you.

    “Sold as Slaves to Sin” John 1:29 It doesn’t seem like we hear people talk much about sin anymore. I know it can be a downer of a subject, and we don’t want to over-dwell on it, but we certainly don’t want to pretend it doesn’t exist. I know it exists in my heart, in my life.

    Ruth, The Unlikely One Series

     | 2,598 views

    The Lord is using all the circumstances to bring forth his salvation history. Through the hand of God Boaz, a “worthy man” is brought into Ruth’s life.

    The Lord uses the unlikely. In Corinth Paul told the believers not many of you were influential or of noble birth when you were called. That was true for Ruth also. She was the furthest thing from nobility, and she had no influence. She was a cursed Moabite woman. Being one of the unlikely ones was ...read more

    The Punishing Rod Part One Habakkuk 1:1-11 When Habakkuk was disturbed, he brought his interests straightforwardly to God. In the wake of accepting God's responses, he then reacted with a supplication of faith. Habakkuk's model is one that ought to support us as we battle to move from ...read more
