    In order to have a maximum yield, grape vines need lots of sunlight, just the right amount of rain, and pruning at the right time....Since chastening and pruning are both painful, how can we distinguish between them?

    GRAPE EXPECTATIONS part 2 Last week we started learning about the "cultivation of grapes." In order to have a maximum yield, grape vines need lots of sunlight, just the right amount of rain, and pruning at the right time. If a branch is bearing no fruit, the vinedresser picks ...read more

    There is no limit to God, and there is no reason for Him to break any promise that He has made to you. He is there rain or shine, in the good times and the bad. He is ready to help you in those promises you have made to Him

    God desires to work miracles today for His people and the lost. Like rain, if the conditions are right, God still answers believing prayers with miracles. He usually uses people as His agents. Will you let Him use you?

    True faith is shown through obedient action to Jesus’ words, building a life that stands firm through life’s storms by relying on Him as our foundation.

    Welcome, friends. Some of us walked in today with the week still clinging to us like rain-soaked coats—news that unsettled, bills that piled up, a diagnosis that won’t leave the mind alone, a loneliness that lingers even in a crowded room. Life has a way of sending squalls without notice. The phone ...read more

    Is it any wonder that the world finds it hard to follow Jesus? Often The only Jesus they are ever presented is hard, harsh and unloving. We are Jesus to the world; our actions speak louder than fifty street preachers. Jesus came down!

    JESUS CAME DOWN IAN JOHNSON www.papelim.org.nz “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.” – 2 Corinthians 8:9 (NIV) What does that mean, “he became poor”?

    When God chooses to open up the flood gates and rain down His showers of blessing, we usually don’t realize it until after we are completely drenched. This message brings encouragement to those who are facing trials and difficulties.

    This morning’s message is entitled, “Show Me Your Glory,” and I want us to look at God’s blessings today. I want to open by having us consider how the Lord’s blessings are similar to a jet aircraft flying at supersonic or near-sonic speeds. Did you ever hear a jet fly overhead and you looked ...read more
