    The waters of commitment call us to take a plunge, but will we let fear take over?

    My younger son, Sam, loves to swim. I remember the days when he took his first swimming lessons. Like most kids, he loved the water and just dived right in. Some swimmers are like that – plungers. How many of you like to plunge right in? How many of you like to take your time getting into the ...read more

    A look at the unique claims of Christ

    Pax Romana, Roman peace, held the empire together for centuries. Among it’s dictates was one concerning religion. It seems that if Rome took over a nation or people with their own religion they never made them switch to the Roman gods. Their thinking was sound…why give them a reason to rebel. ...read more

    A Tale Of The Unexpected !

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Feb 10, 2006
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,044 views

    John was shocked when the sinless Jesus asked to be baptised. Jesus identifies with us in his baptism. We identify with him when we are baptised and we too can receive God’s Spirit! Truly this is a tale of the unexpected.

    The Baptism of Jesus must surely qualify as a ‘Tale of the Unexpected’! Have you ever been somewhere or seen something which was the exact opposite of what you were expecting? Have you ever been waiting expectantly for an event, only for the event itself to come as a total surprise or even a big ...read more
