The First Temptation Of Christ

Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 31, 2015

Jesus was strengthened by his wilderness experience, and so are we. Jesus left the wilderness, called his disciples and started doing God’s work. We can also leave the wilderness and do God’s work, all the time being confident that we can face temptation.

Have you ever faced temptation in your life? Each and every one of us has faced life’s temptations at some point in time, and we are always faced with the issue of how we are going to face them. Even Jesus was tempted, as we have heard in today’s Gospel reading. We can be tempted at any ...read more

Death Comes First

Contributed by Gary Christensen on Mar 9, 2016

We think that Life comes first, and death follows. But, think of death happening first, then Life follows. It happens when we first believe. We were DEAD in sin, until God brings us the word of LIFE. The butterfly seems to DIE, then comes back to LIFE!

Death comes first. "Unless a corn of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone. But, if it dies, it brings forth much fruit." (John 12:24) Let's begin with a very basic Universal Principle: “First comes Death,.. then comes Life!” I know, it sounds backwards. We ...read more

Seeking God First

Contributed by Omolola Ajiferuke on Apr 16, 2020

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all other things shall be added unto you.

We won't have to worry about so many things in life if we will just sit at the feet of Jesus, spending time with him and learning to know him. But it's usually the other way round.
