    Many of us have a competitive nature, a drive to do everything we can to come out on top. We have been taught that you compete to win.

    Jesus told His disciples the parable of the workers in the vineyard; does this still hold value today?

    The First and the Last Matthew 20:1-16 For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire men to work in his vineyard.

    New Year’s Eve 2019 Last or First? Our holy Scripture today is taken from the apostle John. The Gospel teaches about the beginning, and the letter tells us about the end.

    We can admire the paintings of the old master artists but the Bible is the only true picture of Jesus that we have. It’s a "photo Album" in words.

    The First & Last Adam Wed. Eve. – July 20, 2005 Photo Albums: Almost every family has one. It’s good to go back and look at the pictures of family of friends. Lots of memories are brought to mind looking through an album. They say a picture is worth a 1000 words and that’s true but if you ...read more

    ADAM - THE FIRST AND THE LAST When our Lord walked this earth, the Jews of his day had a special reverence for two of their founding fathers - Abraham and Moses.

    How did a book like Ecclesiastes get in the Bible? Did someone make a mistake, do you think? I don’t know about you but I find the beginning of the book a bit depressing. Some people find it quite disturbing as it reinforces the doubts that they may have already about God’s place in the scheme of ...read more

    It’s foolish to put our confidence in what we own, or in what we look like, or in the people we love. All these good things only spring from the Lord God, the overflowing fountain. And none of these things can save or redeem, for God alone is the First and the Last.

You remember how Elijah challenges the prophets of Baal to a competition. ‘Come up the mountain,’ he said. ‘Bring two oxen for sacrifice, wood to ...read more
