    God shows us how to be his disciples. In this case we are to take the attributes of children because God has.

    A first grader became curious because her father brought home a briefcase full of papers every evening. Her mother explained, “Daddy has so much to do that he can’t finish it all at the office. That’s why he has to bring work home at night.” “Well then,” asked ...read more

    What does God’s word say about children and our responsibility to them. Who are the children anyway?

    Today’s lesson is about family. Specifically I want to talk about children. Let me start with a childhood story and see if I can connect with some of you kids here today.

    Tax season is upon us....right now many of us are either celebrating or are discouraged due to the "tax" that has been put upon us. Taxes and sin are one in the same and Satan is the dirty "Uncle Satan" who dives into our spiritual pockets robbing us of G

    The most famous man in history was born a very, very long time ago; long before your parents or your grandparents were born; and even long before their parents and grandparents were born! When he was born, the most famous man in history was a baby, just like you were once, and just like I was ...read more

    At the Temple were two men, two prayers, and two faiths. One trusted in himself and his righteousness. He went home dead in his sin. The other humbly confessed his sin and believed in salvation outside himself. He went home justified by God’s grace.

    Intro At the Temple were two men, two prayers, and two faiths. The first man was a Pharisee. He’s the good guy. He’s respected. He’s forgotten more about the Scriptures than most of us can remember. He’s an example of how to live an upstanding life. Do as he says and ...read more

    With the Church at the perephery of many lives and Baptism no longer the "done thing" it is an act of faith in itself when parents bring young children for baptism.

    Truly I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will never enter it." I the light of my recent experience as a locum school chaplian I particularly notice about this passage that Jesus speaks here of little children and not anyone old enough to be in year seven or ...read more

    We sin and wonder, is it at all possible for me to be saved. Will I make it. Is there hope for me, I meen I am so bad and I cant seem to overcome. what does Jesus think about this?

    Main Idea Let’s take a walk with Jesus and ask Him some questions. Jesus, “How we can inherit the Kingdom of Heaven, and what measure will You use to gauge our fitness to inherit your Kingdom, I mean, can we really make it? Do you really want us to be there?

     | 13,977 views

    It was customary in Jesus’ day for children to be brought to rabbis and elders for their blessing, and on this occasion some brought young children for Jesus to touch and bless. The disciples appeared to be rude and inconsiderate, especially in . . . .

    Perea Jesus Blesses Children; Raises Objections (Ps. 131:12) Matthew 19:13-15, Mark 10:13-16, Luke 18:15-17 13 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.

    What determines our standing before God? The Pharisee, tax collector, and disciples give us an answer.

    Can there be anything more nerve wracking than being evaluated at work or school? When we are criticized or graded, we are vulnerable and exposed. We may wonder and think, “What will people say or think of me? Is what they are saying true or accurate? Do they truly see my talents and abilities, ...read more

    Dos And Don'ts Of Salvation

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Mar 22, 2021
     | 2,871 views

    A defibrillator can’t save someone while it’s in its cabinet. It has to be taken down and operated. In the same way, Jesus’ death and resurrection don’t save a person unless a person makes use of them. A person has to respond to them. There are some 'dos' and 'don'ts'.

    In recent years something new has appeared on many high streets: defibrillators. Defibrillators can be life-savers if someone suffers a heart attack. They aren’t only on high streets, of course. I like to do ‘Park Run’ (when it’s happening!) and lots of Park Runs have defibrillators. You often ...read more

    "i Don't Get Anything Out Of Church." Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Oct 7, 2019
     | 6,537 views

    People come to church with certain expectations. But are those the expectations that God wants us to come with, or are they are our own expectations? See how God's promises far exceed our expectations for church.

    “I don’t get anything out of it.” You’ve probably heard it as a reason for someone no longer going to church and maybe you’ve actually had the thought yourself. You walked out of church and thought, “I just don’t feel like I got anything out of it.” People come to church with certain ...read more
