Full - Pt. 6 - Faith Full Series

Contributed by Steve Ely on Feb 19, 2017

We prefer full over empty! Jesus says He came that we might have abundant (full) life. Do we? Do we even know what we should be full of?

Living A Fantasy

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jul 9, 2017

God had sent one prophet after another to warn Israel of impending judgment. Rather then heeding the many warnings, they continued to live in a fantasy world, void of reality. Sadly many today continue this path, refusing to admit their great need.

Living a Fantasy Hosea 6:4, 7:8ff As you study the book of Hosea, God’s love for His people is easily discovered. While they had turned their backs on him, seeking the gods of this world and the pleasures of the flesh, God continued to pursue them by His grace. In the chapters between our last ...read more

The Fear Of The Lord

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 31, 2011

Many love the Lord but do not have the fear of the Lord in their heart. They take God for granted and treat Him with contempt. We need to honour Him with reverence and respect.

The church was enjoying the presence of the Lord, since Pentecost. • Acts 4:32-35 says all the believers were one in heart and mind. They shared everything they had. Needs were met. The apostles continued to preach with great power. The church was doing well. Acts 4:36-37 Joseph, a Levite ...read more

Our Father Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 8, 2021

The Christian is one who recognizes person-hood to be the supreme value. The highest title or name of God is not king, master, or creator, but Father. Wordsworth said, “Father! To God Himself we cannot give a holier name.”

When he was asked why he did it he said, “All I did everyday was to screw nut number 999 to bolt number 999 for years and years, and if I keep on doing this much longer, I shall be nut number 999 myself.” ...read more

Dead Man Walking

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Mar 24, 2019

In this passage, Paul delivered a riveting message - man apart from Christ is dead in sin. A dead man is hopeless to do anything to improve his situation - he's dead! Our only hope is found in Christ.
