    What is our standard of holiness? As individuals, do we compare ourselves with others? As a church, do we compare our ministry with the congregation down the road? These are mistaken comparisons, as Jesus is our true standard.

    Michael Green, in his book Illustrations for Biblical Preaching, shares a good lesson which I think is appropriate for beginning our message this evening. He states, All of us frequently compare ourselves favorably with someone else. We all think of someone whom we consider to be less mature, ...read more

    I am only one,but still I am one. I cannot do everything; but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.

    TEXT: Esther Chapter 4 TITLE: ONE PERSON CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE In an overpopulated world, it’s easy to underestimate the significance of one.

    Jesus teaching on love is totally radical. He pushes us to practice love, rather than giving excuses, and he points out that to love is to be a neighbour to anyone we might come across who needs our care.

    You may remember the Beatles, back in the 60’s singing "All you need is Love." There’s no doubt that there was a great truth carried in those simple lyrics. If we were to look around the world today, it’s clear that a good dose of love would cure many of the world’s ills. But it’s easier said than ...read more
