    Jesus is the light of the world who through his birth brought new hope to the world.

    Today is the fourth, and final, Sunday of Advent. Very shortly we will be celebrating Christmas – the festival which bears our Saviour’s name. Each year we seem to move further and further away from the religious ideals of Christmas and nearer and nearer to an orgy of conspicuous consumption. We ...read more

    Coins are made from precious metals and bare the image of authority. We are precious creations of God that bare His image. How should we be spent as Gods currency?

    Spent for God This passage remains one of my all time favorites. I love it because Jesus took a simple thing like a coin and crushed his enemies who were trying to trap him. It is just beautiful in its power and simplicity. It is pure Jesus. Interesting Things about Coins. Coins represent a ...read more

    Baptism: What Does It Mean To Have A Cicumcised Heart?

    For us as Gentile believers we don’t need to be physically circumcised, but we do need to have circumcised hearts, and the outward sign of this is Baptism. What does it mean to have a circumcised heart?

    As we continue with our study of St. Paul’s letter to the Colossians we today come face to face with baptism and with the forgiveness of Jesus Christ. The water of Baptism is where we are mysteriously ‘buried with [Christ] …and raised with [Christ] through [our] faith in the power of God who raised ...read more

    What’s inside most gifts? Love, time and physical labor to pay for the gift; Plus, hopefully, something the recipient needed.

    What’s Inside of a Gift? John 4:10 (Use a nice wrapped gift for visual) Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living ...read more

    It has been said that "you will never walk on water if you do not get out of the boat." And yet, too often we fail to think about the next step. This sermon is meant to encourage those afraid to step out in faith as well as those who are sinking!

    Many centuries ago, a man named Peter stood on the edge of a boat in the Sea of Galilee. Like all people who find themselves on an edge - whether physical or metaphorical - a decision had to be made. Peter’s choice was to either to step out onto the water or remain in the boat. Not an easy ...read more

    This text reminds us that distorted views of God and ourselves are revealed by trouble.

    3) And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. 24) A windstorm arose on the sea, so great that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. 25) And they went and woke him up, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!” 26) And he said to them, “Why are ...read more

    For this week’s Bible Study, we have discussed about The Parable of the Great Banquet.

    God definitely has a way of speaking with us, even if we forget Him at times, especially when we are distracted with irrelevant things. In the depths of our emotions, He knows how to converse with us and tell us how much He loves us. In times of troubles, God invites us to be with Him. He never ...read more
