    Introductory Comments 1.

    Introductory Comments 1. Palm Sunday is a joyous time. A time when we rejoice and wave our palm branches as we sing "Hosanna, Loud, Hosanna". It is the time that we welcome Jesus into our midst and we receive Him as the King of Israel and as the Saviour of our lives. We imagine what it would have ...read more

    One of the things that was quite striking when we were in Canada recently was the change of colours in the trees.

    The Tower of Babel is not merely an explanation of language changes, but there are four key areas we learn from this account that applies to our Christian culture today.

    Tower of Babel Genesis 11: 1 Now the whole earth had one language and one speech. 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there. 3 Then they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly."

    based on 59 ratings
     | 18,516 views

    Jesus had to die so we could live…we have to die so He can live through us so others can have life!!! Seems painful, but it’s oh so true. The way we think, the way we think it ought to happen and what the Word of God says is completely opposite.

    "ARE YOU DEAD YET???” - John 12:24 - "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much." I’ll make it plain…Jesus had to die so we could live…we have to die so He can live through us so others can ...read more
