    The Invitation, Motivation and Celebration of Thanksgiving

    THANKSGIVING Have you ever met someone who just seemed impossible to please. A large dog walks into a butcher shop carrying a purse in its mouth.

    Encourage One Another!

    Contributed by Hans Krause on Nov 17, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 13,333 views

    We don't know when Jesus will come again, or whether we will die before that and go to meet our Savior. We do know that we should be wide awake and ready 24/7 for that encounter. And to that end, we are called to encourage one another rather than to incite fear and panic.

    Do you believe that Jesus will one day come back from where he has gone? Do you believe that there is actually going to be a point of time in our history, or better: in our future, when God will intervene in the flow of history in a way that will have a cosmic impact? Let’s have a show of hands: ...read more

     | 1,431 views

    Three schemes are examined to see Satan’s division and hurt in the human race. The wide net of PLEASURE is first; followed by the corruption of CHRISTMAS and EASTER; followed by what FEMINISM is doing to our world. These might be hot issues but Satan has created the trouble to damn people

    WE ARE NOT IGNORANT OF SATAN’S DEVICES OR SCHEMES – PART 9 We continue researching the various schemes Satan uses to ensnare, deceive and ruin humanity.

    We don’t have all the answers to life’s hard questions, but God has. His ways are higher. His thoughts are greater. He fights our battles even those ones that we don’t know about.

    It's Labor Day in NSW tomorrow. That gives some people time to take their families on a long drive out of the city. It's perfect timing because it's also school holidays here in NSW until 07 Oct. We've done a few long drives during school holidays when our children were little. I ...read more

    Unleavened Bread And The Passover - The Bread In The Lord’s Supper – The Meanings Of Them All Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 1, 2025
     | 466 views

    The bread in the Lord’s Supper. We examine the Jewish Passover and concentrate on the unleavened bread. The Lord’s Supper came from that Passover so we see how it relates. Different denominations treat the Lord’s Supper/Communion differently. We consider the leaven as well.

    UNLEAVENED BREAD AND THE PASSOVER - AND THE LORD’S SUPPER – THE MEANINGS OF THEM ALL The purpose of this article is not for dispute. It is to provide information. I suppose some will disagree with me on some point here and there, because not all things related to this message are clear cut. ...read more

    How the Bible and Prayer became real for me.

    “School Days are the happiest days of your life” so they say. Well, they weren`t for me - they were miserable. It was my own fault, of course, because at school I was lazy and lessons were a BORE. I couldn`t see any point to learning History and Geography, and French and Latin, though Math ...read more
