    Reflection B.19 / Does God Have A Purpose In Coronavirus? / Summary So Far. Do We Imagine God Has Something To Say?

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on May 11, 2020
     | 2,084 views

    This is a summary of the Reflections on coronavirus so far (series A and B). I will follow with a series based on the New Testament excluding Revelation, and then another on Revelation, in the coming weeks.

    Today we’re at a milestone in our Reflections. We’ll be leaving the Old Testament! Do I hear ‘hooray’? 🙂 After a short break we’ll move on to the New Testament. A milestone is a good place to take stock. It’s probably impossible to summarise 23 Reflections in a short space but I’m ...read more

As the implies it is not verse-by verse but rather a look a some of the most significant verses from each chapter. One ...read more

    We are to walk worthy of the calling God has given us.

    The church must have one main focus and that is the saving of lost souls. We don't need more entertainment and more pats on the back for our own salvation and faithfulness. God give us a burden for the lost!

James May The most prolific writer of the New Testament was the Apostle Paul as he wrote many letters to the church of his day.

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Jun 2, 2021
     | 11,724 views

    Knowing who we are in Christ is vital. Without it, we can be confused, lost, and have no meaning and purpose in our lives, and therefore, fail to accomplish God's plans for us. This is the first sermon series on "Our Identity in Christ."

    Last week we learned from Romans 12:3 the importance of having a correct understanding of ourselves. Otherwise, we can become arrogant, feel that we are great, smart, strong, and right, when in fact it is not. Or conversely, we can become inferior, not realizing the gifts and abilities that God has ...read more
