    Contributed by Alan Stokes on Dec 9, 2000
    based on 104 ratings
     | 4,761 views

    This message draws upon several texts in the Epistle of James and shows how prayer accompanied by a relationship with God is powerful and effective.

    This morning we are going to be looking at the book of James. The theme of the James’ letter in the Bible is “Faith Plus”. It’s good to have faith, but that faith must also make a difference in the life of action and in the works we do. The key verse of the entire letter of James would ...read more

    It is not hard to dwell on the crime, wars, tsunamis, evil politics, divorce, sickness, death and the dishonesty of deceitful people and find yourself coming to the same conclusion: Life Sucks.

    Phil 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Phil 4:5 Let your forbearing spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Phil 4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. Phil 4:7 And the ...read more

    Great life lessons are taught by the Book of Ruth which are of eternal value for each of us and those we love

    Presenting messages on the Book of Ruth has been such an encouraging exercise, and such a short one, it has been hard to leave it behind. So, I’ve decided not to, at least just yet. We’ve covered the text of Ruth in four messages, and this morning we will take a fifth to review this subject of ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 31, 2022
     | 2,809 views

    We will look at the marvellous "I AMs" of John’s Gospel, which mean “I, I am.” It stamped the authority of Jesus as the Elohim of the Old Testament. It's used in John 6 where the disciples battled the storm and Jesus drew near with the assurance and authority of “I, I AM”.

    A VERY SPECIAL “I AM” OF JOHN’S GOSPEL – “EGO EIMI” – “I, I AM” – SO MUCH COMFORT IN IT – PART 1 SHORT INTRODUCTION In John’s Gospel there are found very crucial sayings of the Lord Jesus all containing “I AM”. These relate to His Person and work and ministry. They are essential for our faith. ...read more

    God has given us what we need for eternal life and for spiritual growth in this life.

    The God Who Provides (2 Peter 1:3-4) Note: I am suggesting that this text is partly a "midrash" (Rabbinic-style exposition and application) from Exodus 33:12-23 (and the concluding section, 34:33), particularly the phrase "grace and goodness," the idea of God providing with His presence, and ...read more

    A perspective on Mark 7: 1-23. When a trivial matter becomes a big issue more than likely we are following the ‘traditions of men’. Our focus therefore is on the wrong thing because we have forgotten God and do not have God’s love in our hearts.

    Mark 7: 1-23 God At The Market Place The closing of chapter 6 is also the introduction to chapter 7 and our Gospel text. In which Jesus and his disciples have crossed Lake Galilee to the land at Gennesaret on the north-western bank of the lake. Gennesaret was a small, but a very fertile plain rich ...read more

    We often talk of the qualities or qualifications of elders from 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1. However, there is a more basic qualification -- the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5.16-25). The presence of the Spirit of God is crucial to the life of God's leader.
