Christ’s Childhood Series

Contributed by Paul Clemente on Aug 22, 2011

As Christians, we have responsibilities on earth (family, work, school, society, etc…), but we must always remember where we ultimately belong (we are citizens of heaven)!

When Jesus Christ was on earth, He was fully man and fully God! This of course is a mystery, but it is truth. This is similar to the truth and mystery of God is One but exists in Three Persons.

The Importance Of Authority

Contributed by Revd. Martin Dale on Sep 30, 2017

If we recognise Jesus's authority as divine, then we are forced to listen to Him and allow him to impact our lives. If Jesus is the Word of God and the Scriptures are also the Word of God, then we need allow Scripture to impact our lives too.

Authority. Our passage this morning is all about authority. We live in a society in which authority is very important but which is being challenged. We see anarchy is around us too. Even law enforcers like the police need authority to enter your house. Otherwise any evidence found without the ...read more

The King Is Coming

Contributed by Larry Grant on Dec 5, 2021

While Haggai focuses on rebuilding the temple, Zechariah does not focus on the tragedy of a broken city. He looks down the telescope of time and sees a day when Jerusalem will be visited by The King of Kings!
