     | 5,698 views

    Worship is not what is taking place around you: It’s what is taking place within you. Worship is not a time and a place you attend, it’s how we live our life all the time. Worship is a living testimony, of God in your life.

    What it means to Worship Romans 12:1-2 I want to introduce you to a mythical church member that I am going to call Kenny.

    Sabbath Means Rest

    Contributed by Jerry Smith on May 17, 2014
     | 4,650 views

    Thus, if someone truly wants to observe the Sabbath Day in modern times (New Testament era), that’s a tall order! One that I do not think anyone could keep, because as religious as the Jews were, they could not keep it (Acts 15:10).

    SABBATH MEANS REST Mark 2:27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Q: What happens when we operate a cellphone, tablet, ipod, etc. all day? Q: What happens when we ride a horse all day? Q: What happens when we operate an air-conditioner all day? Q: ...read more

    To have joy in the journey, you need to have the right foundation, the right friends, the right focus and the right finish.

    JOY IN THE JOURNEY Back in 1987 a musician named Michael Card wrote a song called Joy in the Journey that is one of my favourites. The song says, “There is a joy in the journey.

    The angel proclaimed ‘good news of great joy.’ Sounds great! But what exactly is this good news? What kind of joy should we experience? Do you have that joy?

    In the lead-up to Christmas this year we’re focusing on four great themes: hope, peace, joy and love.
