    As our world, and nation, become increasingly hostile to faith, we may face a hard choice: obey orders from human authorities which conflict with God’s Law, or disobey and face the consequences. This sermon looks at three scenarios in Daniel and draws lessons for us today.

    For many people, Philippians 4:13 is their favourite message, but they never look at the verses preceding that verse of following it. This message looks at what true contentment is.

A verse for those times when we are attempting the difficult, the improbable, and the impossible. But for too many people, it is more a motivational statement ...read more
