Alone!

Contributed by Johnny Creasong on Aug 11, 2008

Sin leaves us deserted, helpless, destitute, abandoned, without hope and without God! When Jesus carried our sins on the cross, a fellowship was broken that had always existed. Jesus was ALONE!

Today we are going to look at the most lonely time in Jesus’ life. It took place on the cross. Matthew’s gospel paints the portrait of ...read more

Invitation To A Table For Two In The Wilderness

Contributed by Ian Johnson on Feb 19, 2013

The call to come inward to the table is often ignored because many don’t see the value of such fellowship; their aim is to be doing where as the aim of the table for two is simply “Being” in His presence.

The Christian faith is about relationship it’s not about religion or outward displays of Church life that are just mere forms of religious expression. Jesus spoke very firmly to the religious of the day, who felt they were doing the right thing in preserving religious tradition but ignoring ...read more
