The Doctor Is In. Who's Speaking Into Your Life? Series

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Mar 24, 2013

Lucy is best known in the Peanuts comics for her five cent advice, which is neither helpful or uplifting. Different people spoke into Nehemiah's life and he had to decide who he would listen to.

The Doctor is In I don’t know if Lucy is anyone’s favorite character in the Peanut’s universe. But the reality is that we all either know a Lucy or are a Lucy and if you are a Lucy there is really no way to see that as complimentary. Lucy is not a nice person, she calls ...read more

Going Where Few Have Gone Series

Contributed by Curry Pikkaart on Mar 19, 2014

There's something intriguing and exciting about a place where few have gone. So what about Jesus' words, "But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."

Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on Nov 12, 2010

Jesus is the Gate for the Sheep. Do we allow him to give us the spiritual protection he offers, does he complete us and are we watchmen who are open to his voice?

Before I went off to train for ministry; I used to live in an old house in Oamaru with an acre and a half of land, I had the usual garden and lawn but I also had about an acre and a quarter of pretty rough hillside that was ...read more

Which Road Are You On?

Contributed by Pastor Norman Bailey, Overseer on Aug 10, 2018

Many at the last day are going to be very disappointed thinking they were going to heaven to find out that they were on the wrong road. Only those who travel the strait and narrow way will make it in. Those that do the will of God by obeying his word.

Luke 7:21-27 There are two paths in life we must choose. It is either life or it is death. We must take strait and narrow way that leads to life or the broad way that leads to destruction. We must know the road that we are traveling beloved. Are we religious and have a form of godliness. ...read more

Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 7, 2017

Don’t Slip Off The Path

Contributed by Thomas Andrufski on Jan 14, 2024

We need to see that we are in the last moments of these last day's but our attention needs to be more of what is going on in our heart rather than what is going on around us.

Open-Minded To A Narrow Way? - Matthew 7:13-14 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Nov 16, 2024

The dominant religion of our culture is pluralism – no one goes to hell. Jesus tells us to enter the narrow gate because the more popular, less exclusive, less difficult road leads to hell, whereas the sparse, exclusive, hard road leads to life.

Matthew 7:13-14 Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
