    How do we treat those who are suffering? This sermon is trying to answer that question from the life and experience of Job.

    Love does no harm The three thematics that run through Job 1) Retributional Theology 2) Suffering is Divine Chastening – Job, God is going to teach you something important through this 3) Suffering is only temporary – Job you have lost perspective – in the end – everything will be ok.

    The first mark of a true and living church is its love for Jesus and the brethren.

    According to research done by sociologist W.F. Nimkoff and Arthur Wood, the intensity of romance in a marriage diminishes by 80% during the first two years.

    The Only God, The First And The Last Series

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Aug 7, 2022
     | 1,598 views

    It’s foolish to put our confidence in what we own, or in what we look like, or in the people we love. All these good things only spring from the Lord God, the overflowing fountain. And none of these things can save or redeem, for God alone is the First and the Last.

    One of my favourite Bible stories is in 1 Kings 18. That’s the chapter where God has a showdown with Baal, a dramatic contest on the top of Mount Carmel. You remember how Elijah challenges the prophets of Baal to a competition. ‘Come up the mountain,’ he said. ‘Bring two oxen for sacrifice, wood to ...read more

    The Prerequisite Of Love

     | 9,291 views

    In our Scripture for today we can easily conclude that love is not an emotion as much as it is an emulation of the One who first loved us. Love is more than a longing -- it is an action.

    The Prerequisite Of Love 1 John 4:7-12 I first heard the report on the radio as I was driving to work this week - Jane Fonda had given her life to Christ. The woman who has recently gone through a divorce to Ted Turner, sold more exercise videos than Bill Gates has sold Windows, and who has been ...read more

    The Seventh message in the Kindred United series, this message follows the principle that God is first, Family is second and the brethren are third. This message is based predominently upon 1 John 3.
