    Beyond A Reasonable Doubt

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Aug 19, 2023
     | 1,636 views

    At first the disciples doubted. But when faced with the evidence, they weighed it, tested it, and then acted upon it. Their verdict has stood the test of time. And the grounds on which they stood are the same grounds upon which we can stand.

    Why do you suppose is it that, faced with the same data, some people interpret it one way and some people interpret it another?

    Don’t let your faith turn to vinegar. Keep it fresh by letting the newness of Jesus Christ flow through you continually.

    How many of you remember the 60’s? Some of us lived through that period, some of us have heard or read about it, and for some of us it’s as distant as the American Revolution. The 60’s were a kind of revolution too, complete with ideology and pamphleteers and civil unrest and rather more bloodshed ...read more

    The theme of deceit and betrayal that we have seen throughout Jacob’s story continues in the lives of his sons.

    December 21, 2024 When we left Jacob last week, he and Esau had reconciled and he had purchased some land from Hamor, not far from the city of Shechem, and had settled his family there. Maybe Jacob would finally get some rest…… -Dinah- Genesis 34:1 - Now Dinah, the daughter Leah had borne ...read more

    Hear what Jesus confesses about Himself

    19 Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner. 20 “For the Father loves the Son, and shows ...read more

    Even if the future of the church in America looks like VERSES 1-3, God can still bring about VERSE 8.

    The Scattering Acts 8:1-8 My favorite movies are those with plot twists at the end. When what happens at the end of a movie, you never saw coming at the beginning. And when the ending is revealed it's kind of like, "oh, everything makes sense now." I think the first time I vividly ...read more

    Praying Together Series

    This event in the life of the early church gives us guidance in how to pray with power.

    As I’ve probably shared with you once before, I was tremendously challenged by a conversational exchange in a short-lived situation comedy. It was a comedy where the late Danny Thomas played a doctor. There was a scene in “The Practice” where a nurse overhears Thomas’ character praying. When she ...read more

    the light of the gospel impacted on Saul in a way that would lead in the end to the gospel being proclaimed all the way to Rome, to the centre of the Roman Empire, in fact in the Emperor’s palace itself.

    It’s interesting to notice, as we read through these chapters of Acts, from 7 to 10, how there’s a theme of blindness and sight, so reminiscent of the words of Jesus at the end of John 9. [In fact let’s listen to them now.] First Stephen retells the story of the Jewish people and the members of ...read more
