Doing What God Asks Us To Do!

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Jul 9, 2006

God gave Saul an instruction but Saul only half-carried it out. This short homily is a challenge to us: Let’s do all that God asks us to do; nothing more AND nothing less!

In these days of terrorism this Bible event is hard for us to understand; and I know of one or two people who have rejected God because of it. The irony is of course that the story is primarily kept for us as a warning not to reject God’s instructions! Hundreds of years ago, stories such as this ...read more

Undeserved..extravagant Love..

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Sep 10, 2014

That's what we are..When we display our so called righteous deeds, they are nothing but filthy rags. Nobody, except for God, could still love us..in that condition because His Love isn’t based on Anything to do with us at all..

Therefore, Do Not Be Anxious!

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Feb 11, 2021

Jesus isn't simply telling us not to be anxious. He's calling us to have a completely different attitude towards material possessions and material needs from the rich fool; to be confident in God and in that confidence, to be rich towards God and others.

‘Do not be anxious.’ That’s what Jesus told his disciples. If only! we might think. Can we banish anxiety from our hearts simply because Jesus tells us to? We’re in a series in Luke, following Jesus and his disciples on their journey from Galilee down to Jerusalem. Their journey starts in Luke ...read more

What God Has Promised, God Will Do! Series

Contributed by David Owens on Jun 17, 2019

In Romans 4:13-25, Paul shows how Abraham believed that what God promised, God would do. Similarly, in order to be made right with God, we must believe that God will make good on His promise to save those who put their trust in Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection.

Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Jul 17, 2001

How do we know it is really the Holy Spirit? Why doesn’t God always answer? Did Jesus promise the Baptism? This study looks at these questions and the evidence that a person has been filled.
