    Do we want the favor of God on our lives? As we study the life of Gideon, and others from the bible we will understand what those pre-requisites are for God’s favor to rest on us, and all we do.

    We read in Judges 6:17-19, So Gideon said to Him, “If now I have found favor in your sight, then show me a sign that it is you who speak with me. Please do not depart from here, until I come back to you, and bring out my offering and lay it before you.” And He said, “I will remain until you ...read more

    MOSES AND GOD: GOD RAISES UP A LEADER TO DELIVER HIS PEOPLE

    (3:1-10) What we must learn is that God calls people to serve Him. Just think who it is that calls us to serve Him. It is the sovereign Lord of all who actually stooped down and breathe the breath of life in us that gives us the privilege to serve Him. This should excite us. This should make us ...read more

    What is your favorite picture of Jesus? Most artists have portrayed Jesus as kind and gentle, or as God’s suffering servant. In the Gospel Lesson for today we have an example of a time when Jesus’ face most certainly didn’t look the way artists most often picture him.

Perhaps you would recall one the many images showing Jesus as the Good Shepherd. That has been a favorite among Christians for ...read more

    We will look at the marvellous "I AMs" of John’s Gospel, which mean “I, I am.” It stamped the authority of Jesus as the Elohim of the Old Testament. It's used in John 6 where the disciples battled the storm and Jesus drew near with the assurance and authority of “I, I AM”.
