    When our work proceeds out of a devotion to Jesus, we will not be without our critics.

    AT THE FEET OF JESUS. John 12:1-8. It has been remarked as remarkable that on three occasions when we meet Mary of Bethany in the Scriptures, she is found at the feet of Jesus. In Luke 10:39 she is sitting at the feet of Jesus. In John 11:32 Mary is prostrated at His feet. In John 12:3 she is ...read more

    Are you too busy? What does God tell us about over commitment in Christian service?

    Last week we began a series of lessons on commitment, with the question: Where is your commitment? We ended that lesson looking at some of Jesus’s words from the sermon on the mount where Jesus tells us what to commit to and what not to commit to, what not to worry about and what to seek ...read more

    Worry is dangerous. Worry can weaken your spirit, soul and body. John 10:10 tells us that the devil is out to destroy; this is his mission in life. Worry is a perfect tool for him to carry out this mission.

    Text: Luke 10:38-41 It is natural or part of human nature to be concerned about unpleasant situations in our lives, family, church and nation. For example, in 1 Samuel 10:2, the Bible tells us that when the donkeys of Kish the father of Saul, were missing and he sent Saul to go and look for them, ...read more

    A teaching about putting God and His kingdom first in our lives.

    Every Christian has to ask theirselves this question, "What is my top priority?". If our answer is anything other than God, then our priorities are wrong.

    Conflict is inevitable. Watch your heart in a conflict. Focus on the heart of the matter. Seek to please the heart of Christ.

    What had Martha done wrong? Wasn't she being a servant? Wasn't she serving Jesus and his men? Was Jesus telling her she shouldn't have been preparing the meal? Or was there something else wrong here?
