    Living the Spirit-Filled life is essential to knowing God's direction in life.

    We have made note of how this passage speaks of three sets of individuals who are each an example of what needs to be true of us if we are going to be in on what God is doing in our world in our day. Last time, we spoke of the importance of our living the Word-filled life, as we considered the ...read more

    Through prayer, we can be sure to be where we need to be when we need to be there in order to be in on what God is doing.

    We’ve noticed how this passage speaks of three sets of individuals who are an example of what needs to be true of us if we’re going to be in on what God is doing in our day. We’ve looked at the importance of the Word-filled life, as we considered Joseph and Mary. Then we thought ...read more

    Contributed by Revd. Martin Dale on Jan 30, 2016

     | 11,660 views

    There are I believe three important character traits that we as Christians would do well to adopt for ourselves in the character of Mary the Mother of Jesus 1. Her humility 2. Her commitment to God and 3. Her bravery.

    TSL 31-01-2016 Sermon I would like to focus on one short phrase this morning from our Gospel reading. And it is the personal words that Simeon says to Mary: 34 ……..And a sword will pierce your own soul too.” Simeon has been prophesying about Jesus’s future ...read more

    A Carpenter's Dream

    Contributed by Perry Anderson on Dec 4, 2014

    Although we know little about Joseph’s life, we know quite a bit about his character from his actions. He demonstrated great faith. We can learn much from living Holy lives by following the example set by Joseph.

    Joseph is too often overlooked in the Christmas story. We must never fail to acknowledge the role he played in the life of Jesus. It wasn't just a coincidence that he was engaged to be married to Mary. He was chosen by God for this special calling...to be the earthly father of Jesus. God in His ...read more

     | 2,691 views

    As we read the birth of The Christ child, we notice different groups or persons desiring to find and see Jesus. Recognizing their reasons to see him, we notice their desires and why they seek him; some righteous reasons and some for personal evil reasons

    HOW BADLY DO YOU WISH TO SEE THE CHRIST–THE MESSIAH? How badly do you wish to see The Christ?
