    A feast of good things in a dry and thirsty land.

    FOLLOWING HARD AFTER GOD. Psalm 63:1-8. As we enter into Psalm 63, there is both an intimacy with God, and a yearning after God.

    After living more than 60 years, I know that any claim that offers an effortless way to develop a lean, well conditioned body is a hoax. So is any sermon title that promises an easy way to become like our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

    Stand Firm And Work Hard Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Apr 16, 2022

    Easter Sunday is the day when we celebrate the fact that God raised Jesus from death. When I say WE celebrate the fact that God raised Jesus from the dead, I mean, WE IN THIS CHURCH celebrate it. Clearly, a lot of other people DON'T celebrate it. A few years ago the Daily Telegraph conducted ...read more
