I Spy With My Little Eye

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Aug 15, 2009

Some of us wrestle sins that others have long defeated through Jesus blood yet we are critical of others when we see the sin we so easily defeated present in their lives. Jesus is telling us to remember we once had a board across our eyes and not just a s

I Spy with My Little Eye Luke Chapter 6:37-42 We live in a world that has lost its moral compass. The line between right and wrong, truth and a lie have become blurred.

My Grandad's Letter

Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Jul 12, 2025

This week I found an old letter my Grandad sent to me as a kid - as I decyphered word for word the difficult handwriting it made me reflect on Paul's letter we have listened to this morning - and how if we decypher it word for word - it too can turn out to be so precious to us

I moved into my new house last December and (Don’t judge me for this) – I am still unpacking boxes – including some that never got unpacked from the previous move ten years ago… And while I was going through some boxes this week, I came across this – It’s a letter to me from my granddad written to ...read more

In My Father's House

Contributed by Grant Adams on Jun 29, 2021

Here in the 16th chapter of Luke, you will find the only testimony to be found anywhere of a soul that has died without Christ and gone to hell. It is a pitiful thing to listen to him pleading in hell.

The cry of this young man is heartbreaking. It is a plea for mercy and help with none available. Here a young man finds out too late that you must be born again in order to go to heaven. Now he makes another plea, but this time it is not for himself, but for his brothers. He now realizes that those ...read more

"coming Home"

Contributed by David Henderson on Feb 17, 2020

When I think of home several things come to mind... • I think of a house in Arkansas that I grew up in-my mother lived there for over 50 years. I shared a very small bedroom with my 3 brothers. • But Home is more than a structure—

“Coming Home” Mark 5:21-43 One of my heroes in Scripture is the great apostle Paul. Of the 27 books in the New Testament, we believe at least 13 were written by him. About one half. One of those was his letter to the church in Ephesus and in chapter 3 and verse 20 he says this... “Now to HIM who is ...read more
