    Encountering The Gospel Of Jesus Christ At The Most Unexpected Time And In The Most Unexpected Place. Series

    Contributed by Mark Van Cuylenburg on May 11, 2020
     | 4,121 views

    We preach The Gospel Of Jesus and we live The Gospel Of Jesus, and because of who we are we can do both even when we don't realise it.

    Last week I preached about the two men who encountered Jesus as a stranger on the road to Emmaus, and how we too can encounter Him in the most unexpected place and at the most unexpected time. It seems to me though that something else unexpected also happened that day. The two men, both disciples ...read more

    Is the hand of God with you during good times, or maybe, God has brought you to terrible times as well. Why would the hand of God leave us in difficult times?

    The right place at the right time. Coincidence? Happenstance? Good fortune? The wrong place at the wrong time. Bad luck? Fate? Accidental? When an amazing and wonderful thing happens in our life we say that the hand of God was certainly with us….does that mean that when something bad happens in ...read more

    Everything that Jesus does, or that people do to Jesus, gives Him an opportunity to teach or preach to us hard-skulled folks.

    Tuesday of the 28th Week in Course 2020 Wash Up! I’m pretty certain that somewhere in this wide Catholic world there is a smart-Alec youngster who hears this Gospel and mouths off to mom: “Jesus didn’t wash up before dinner.

    Separating The Wheat From The Chaff

     | 8,341 views

    The Holy Spirit gives us the assurance that we are believers. As Romans 8:16 says, “The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God”. Only then can we have the inner conviction and witness of the Holy Spirit.

    Three ministers gathered at the local coffee shop one morning, and the talk turned to a problem all three of them had in common-bats in their churches. One said, “I just don’t know what to do. I’ve called in exterminators and I’ve had the entire church sprayed, and the bats ...read more

    God chose Abraham to father a nation. He didn't always get it right. But he, along with his wife Sarah, teach us valuable lessons: to trust in God's sovereignty, to wait for God's timing, and to follow God's leading as we walk by faith.

    Genesis 12:1-4 Blessed to be a Blessing Do you ever wonder why God seems to bless some people with extra helpings of blessings? And some people seem to sense more easily how God wants to guide them, how God wants to lead them? Abraham was such a guy. The Bible’s “Hall of Faith” in Hebrews chapter ...read more
