Saw That Series

Contributed by Bala Samson on Aug 26, 2012

Did you know at times we tend to view things wrongly? The good seems to be bad and bad seems to be good. Not all apples that look gorgeous and delicious on the outside are entirely tasty on the inside; at times the inner portion is rotten and also sour

Saw that…. 1 King 19:3”when he saw that, he arose and ran for his life, and went to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there. 4 But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness…” Mightiest of achievements is ephemeral! Can I get your attention ...read more

The Unity Of Hope

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 23, 2013

The Christ child as the hope of the nations.

THE UNITY OF HOPE. Romans 15:4-13. In many respects we might view Romans 14:1 to Romans15:13 as the practical outworking of the Jewish/Gentile debate of Romans 9 to 11. There was some dissension in Rome over matters of food and drink, and holy days. It is quite probable that it was a question of ...read more

The Greatness Of His Works

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 15, 2020

The LORD is High for evermore. Psalm 92 verse 8.

THE GREATNESS OF HIS WORKS. Psalm 92:1-15. This Psalm takes up a common Bible theme: the dichotomy between the “righteous” (Psalm 92:12) and the “wicked” (Psalm 92:7). However, first and foremost, taken as a whole, it is about the LORD. The LORD is mentioned seven times in this ‘Psalm or ...read more

The Foolishness Of God

Contributed by Bramwell Hayes on Sep 30, 2023

How what seems to be the foolishness of the cross, is actually the greatest piece of wisdom

What’s the daftest thing you’ve ever heard, the silliest idea you’ve ever come across? If you’re anything like me you’ve probably had lots of ideas yourself that, when you think about it, make no sense whatsoever.

Jesus Values Our Humanity; "I Thirst” Series

Contributed by Kenneth Squires on Jun 6, 2003

Jesus started his earthly ministry hungry and ended his earthly ministry thirsty. As we return to Jesus on the cross we come to what may be the easiest of the seven words to understand. Or is it?

Later, knowing that all was now completed, and so that the scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. (John 19:28-29) Let me open today’s message by asking you a ...read more
