Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 24, 2021

Great New Year's message. The parable of the fruitless fig tree being given one more year to produce fruit probably parallels many Christians, who's lives are fruitless. Will we respond to God's reprieve by changing how we're living?

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jul 11, 2021

If a person does not abide in God’s Word, he or she will be cut down. This passage looks at how we need to allow Jesus, the Word made flesh, to penetrate our heart as He penetrated the temple. We are the temple of the Holy Spirit.
