     | 5,887 views

    God invites us to follow him. He does not command us to do what he has not done. He sets himself as the example for our actions.

    THE GODS we worship write their names on our faces, be sure of that. And a man will worship something —have no doubt about that, either. He may think that his tribute is paid in secret in the dark recesses of his heart—but it will out. That which dominates will determine his life and ...read more

    Christian Hope vs Death. A brief funeral message for a Christian. Change the name and you are good to go.

    Scripture tells us many things about the death of a Christian.

    "You can’t say anything nice about Helen - everyone will know you are lying", was the first thing the family said as we sat down to discuss the funeral.

    (Note to reader: This was one of the most unusual graveside ceremonies I have ever attempted. There was a very large group at this graveside funeral, and most who were there were there not because they loved the deceased, but because she had ruined them. Bitter people. It turns out, just saying it ...read more

    Our prayer life is a indicator of our reliance upon God. God’s will for each of us is that we so rely on Him that prayer is a spontaneous activity throughout our daily life as individuals and throughout our weekly activities as a church family.

    Last time, we thought together about how it is God’s will for each of His children to be joyful. Now today, I want us to spend some time reflecting on the second thing that Paul says is God’s will for each of us - v. 17. There are two ways in which this needs to be applied: 1. It must be applied ...read more
