    Faith demonstrated in the margins of life.

    A CRUMB FROM THE TABLE. Matthew 15:21-28.

    Some thoughts on judgment and prayer, and the Golden Rule.

    JUDGE NOT. Matthew 7:1-12. When Jesus says, “Judge not” (Matthew 7:1), He is not bidding us suspend our faculty of discernment. If that was the case, then He would not have gone on to describe certain people as “dogs” or “swine” (Matthew 7:6)! How could we make that identification without ...read more

    Have you ever been totally dependant upon God? The lesson of the widow is that "importunity equals opportunity". Learn what it is that really impresses God!

    THE WIDOW’S “MIGHT” Mark 12: 41-44 It is a mild Sabbath morning in the Palestinian City of Jerusalem. The sun has not yet risen to full strength, and yet people are already lined up all the way down the dusty road which leads to the Holy Temple.

     | 1,324 views

    The main focus of this parable: It is about asking and receiving. “… how much more will your heavenly Father give” (v. 13).

    A. INTRODUCTION (Luke 11:1, 5-13) After seeing Jesus in prayer, a disciple asked, “teach us to pray.” Jesus taught them what to pray (the Lord’s Prayer) then how to pray (the importunate/persist friend).

    Wait patiently, it will come to pass.

    WATCHING FOR THE WORD. Habakkuk 1:1-2:4. This is the oracle or “burden” which Habakkuk the prophet did “see” (Habakkuk 1:1). So, right from the top, we understand that the prophet’s patient waiting of Habakkuk 2:1 paid off. When Habakkuk speaks of his message as a burden, it is to ...read more

    The Book Of Lamentations – Part 38 – We Look At The Beginning Of Complaints – Inheritance Has Been Lost - Chapter 5:1-2 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 24, 2025
     | 75 views

    Pleading with God to remember, is what Jeremiah fell back to, and this persevering prayer is examined. Reproach overtook the people as they lost everything and were despised. Today we see the same in so many African nations where believers suffer for Christ. A touching message.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 38 – WE LOOK AT THE BEGINNING OF COMPLAINTS – INHERITANCE HAS BEEN LOST - CHAPTER 5:1-2 Chapter 4 has ended and we saw some absolutely horrible things that were happening because the people were downtrodden by Babylon and persecuted by the Edomites.
