"Jesus Loves Me, This I Know"

Contributed by Clark Tanner on Mar 23, 2010

For the Bible tells me so...

“Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He would depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end." Jesus knew that His hour had come. This should not come as a startling revelation to anyone ...read more

Fanatics For The Faith Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 24, 2007

God calls His people to take seriously the instruction of the Word. In fact, He calls us to be fanatics for the Faith.

Worshipping The Snake

Contributed by Michael Stark on Nov 23, 2006

Christians easily slip into venerating the "things" God gives to bless us. Hezekiah, as he ascended to the throne, destroyed the bronze serpent because the people had lapsed into idolatry without realising what they were doing.

2 KINGS 18:1-4 WORSHIPPING THE SNAKE In the third year of Hoshea son of Elah, king of Israel, Hezekiah the son of Ahaz, king of Judah, began to reign.

Who Ya' Gonna' Call?

Contributed by Johnny Wilson on Aug 30, 2010

God's people, throughout history, have often had a tragic cycle of forgetting God and needing God's "sandpaper" to bring them back to God.

I know a lot of people believe that this is due to laziness or an unclear sense of what God wants to do in a service (in other words, the pastor doesn’t have to figure out what he or she is ...read more
