Today, there are physical descendants of Jesus’ bloodline.” - The Da Vinci Code makes some wild assertions here. Brown claims that after Jesus’ death Mary fled to France in the ...read more

    My favourite sermon. JB is always the herald of Christmas for me - a guy with an attitude that is a long way from the fat elf in his red plush suit! ...

    The season of Christmas is upon us! At what point did this realisation hit you? * When you saw decorations going up in shopping centres - something which always seems to happen way to early (ie.

    Scary Sanity

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,981 views

    If you really start to believe in who Jesus really said He was, then you’ve got to entertain the notion that he could radically change YOU too! That is scary!

    Then they arrived at the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee. As he stepped out on land, a man of the city who had demons met him. For a long time he had worn no clothes, and he did not live in a house but in the tombs. When he saw Jesus, he fell down before him and shouted at ...read more

    Last in 3-part series about living in submission to the purposes of Christ instead of living for ourselves.

    Putting Jesus’ Agenda First (Part 3) Matthew 16:24-28 March 18, 2007 This is going to be one of the shortest messages you’ve ever heard from me. I’m not feeling well at all, and I’m simply wiped out. I think part of it has to do with the fact that I was trying to get everything ready for the ...read more

     | 10,100 views

    The extent we’re willing to go (for the Kingdom) determines the impact we dream to have (on the Kingdom).

    Who’s counting on you? Have you ever thought about that? Who’s counting on you? Who’s counting on you for support? For hope? For love? For Christ? I’ll never forget when NBA Hall of Famer (and now commentator) told the press that he wasn’t a “role ...read more
