    These verses are an encouragement to see how a Church can behave together when its members are committed to one another as fellow members of the body of Christ and to be generous with our possessions. But they’re also a warning not to hold back what we’ve

    We’ve seen a fascinating thing in Australian politics in the past few weeks. John Howard has gone from being the man of steel to being more like a quick change artist.

     | 10,737 views

    The church in Thyatira demonstrates the need to follow the ways of Jesus in order to prevent being deceived.

    In our culture, I think there is sometimes a tendency for us to look around at all the mega churches, even some right around us, and to begin to think that a smaller church like TFC really isn’t all that significant to the kingdom of God. But Jesus’ message to the church in Thyatira ...read more

    God listens to our prayers and answers them justly. Sometimes it might be irrelevant to the expectations of the one who prayed, but never a prayer is unanswered.

    In times of difficulty, it is natural to lament, or blame somebody. But a disciple of Jesus Christ would react otherwise. Since his life is devoted to Jesus Christ, he is well informed about his savior. And nothing shakes his faith even in midst of darkness around. For instance, take prophet ...read more

    Like Moses, your pastor cannot and is not expected by God to do the work by himself. Like Moses pastors need others who will hold his arms high that they may be steadied and that he may be able to lead as God would have him do.
