    “Life is short; eternity is long.

    We often struggle to see beyond our immediate challenges, yet Nahum was able to perceive something greater. His deep understanding of God's Grace allowed him to see beyond his immediate circumstances and emotions.

    I want to focus on the powerful message found in the first four words of Nahum 1:7: "The Lord is good." Although the book of Nahum can be challenging to read and preach from, it is important to note that the minor prophets' messages are just as significant as those of the major prophets. The book ...read more

    Whether we are believers, or not-yet-believers we all face a life which is full of adversity, difficulty and struggle. In this sermon we explore two questions. 1) What sort of people will we be, when we face adversity, difficulty and struggles? 2) Can w

    We all face trials and tests in our Christian lives, but it is not the trials and tests that are significant, but how we respond to them. This sermon is an example of how I learned to rely on God more in uncertain times.

    Every single circumstance that comes to us is first sifted through the hand of the One who loves us.

    James gives us some practical advice about how to pass through times of difficulty and testing.
