    Despite all the hardships we may have to endure, we have an anchor of hope. This message talks about the basis of that hope.

    The last couple of weeks we’ve been talking about Staying Afloat in the Storms of Life. We’ve talked about how we all have to endure storms… times of upheaval… that come our way. Most of the time these storms are unexpected. They come upon us suddenly and we don’t have a whole lot of time to ...read more

    Suffering is a common human experience. But it doesn’t have to stop us ministering for God. In fact God can use our experience of suffering to help others by the way we offer them the support that we have received from God.

    This week I’ve been listening to a series of lectures on depression by Arch Hart, who’s Professor of Psychology at Fuller Seminary in the US. One of the interesting things he said was a piece of advice he gives to ministers. He says never take your day off on a Monday if you can possibly help it. ...read more

    We all wait for that call from God, but what do we do when it comes?

    When we hear God’s call, but do not head. The reading this week is a little longer than last, but I decided it was important to read the entire first chapter of Jonah. Everyone is familiar with the story of Jonah being swallowed by the whale, but perhaps not everyone knows why. As we can see ...read more

    Many things conspire to keep people separate, even in the church. Only God can connect us, and it is the cross that binds us. Are we living out that reality, or have we let separations disconnect us?

    When he says it, it feels both enraging and endearing. When he pronounces it, it sounds like irritation, but it also sounds like invitation. It is both attracting and detracting, both including and excluding. I am referring to those moments in the old TV show, when Felix Unger, the neat freak half ...read more

    So many times we try to follow God’s plan, we try to do what God wants us to do, BUT we try to do it in our own timing. And when we do, we rarely accomplish all that God wants us to accomplish.

    FACING OUR JERICHO Over the past three weeks, we have been studying the book of Joshua. We have found truths here that have given us great hope and comfort in the midst of our great pain. We have seen God’s hand at work, not only in the lives of the children of Israel, but we’ve seen His hand ...read more

    When we pray, we see the Father’s love (the basis of our prayer), the Father’s control (our assurance), and the Father’s heart (our goal in life).

    The Lord’s Prayer we recite is a prayer Jesus taught His disciples. • It is not His prayer to God but a prayer meant for us. • Jesus need not have to pray “forgive us our sins” for He had no sins. In the Scriptures, the longest prayer of Jesus is found in John 17. • This prayer was made just ...read more

    A topical Bible study on how the lives of believers will (or will not) be judged.

    This was a Bible study borne from a question the previous week. I had been taught that in heaven, "tapes" or replays of our entire lives would be seen "on a big screen", for everyone to watch. Apparently this was a new theology to my small but attentive audience, and they called me on it. So I did ...read more
