    Everyone can attest to the fact that our weather seems to be changing and as a result we are experiencing unparalleled disasters of near Biblical proportions or are they in fact just that; Biblical?

    Heaven and Earth Speak Luke 21:5-27 NIV Signs of the End of the Age 5Some of his disciples were remarking about how the temple was adorned with beautiful stones and with gifts dedicated to God. But Jesus said, 6"As for what you see here, the time will come when not one stone will be left on ...read more

     | 10,127 views

    When you think of Old Testament shadows of Christ, Adam usually is not at the top of the list. This lesson shows why he should be near the top of your list.

    WHO AM I? My time on earth did not begin in a natural way. I had no earthly father. I was made in the image of God. I was innocent and without sin. In my innocence, I was tried and tempted by the serpent. I made an important decision which involved a tree that impacted all of history. My decision ...read more

    I felt how privileged are we to just go near Him covering our face and demanding Him to remove the hands and play with us! He would.

    Contiually! Psalm 71:3”Be my strong refuge, To which I may resort continually; You have given the commandment to save me, For You are my rock and my fortress.” 6 to 1 fasting starts today! As I rush inside the school, with one million ‘to do’ things running in my mind; I ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 22,539 views

    Here, near the end of his letter to the Church at Philippi, the Apostle Paul picks up on that connection. He links our Thanksgiving to God with peace in our mind.

    TITLE: WHAT ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR? SCRIPTURE: PHILIPPIANS 4:4-8 (This is not an original message, points gleaned from various ministers over the years) As many of you know in my haste, I actually scheduled our Church Anniversary/Homecoming a week early.

    Comfort My People

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 23, 2025
     | 255 views

    When our words fail, God’s word doesn’t—He comes near, carries us, and renews strength to walk, run, and sometimes soar.

    Isaiah 40 opens with a command from God’s heart: “Comfort, comfort my people.” Not “explain everything,” not “fix everything,” but comfort them. You’ve stood at hospital bedsides, gravesides, kitchen tables where bills and diagnoses stack up, and you’ve whispered, “What do I even say?” Isaiah ...read more

    True peace and purpose come from drawing near to God, letting go of distractions, and seeking His presence above all else in our daily lives.

    Friends, some weeks feel like a treadmill stuck on high speed. Our calendars crowd us, our phones buzz at us, and our souls sigh within us. We try to keep up appearances while our insides ache for an anchor. Have you felt that slow leak of peace, that subtle drift of the heart when worries and ...read more

    This is the first in a series of messages on the theme of becoming "spiritually" healthy. It is a sermon that challenges the believer to consider what God would want to do in his/her life in the near future.

    “Do You Want to Get Well?” John 5:1-15 JN 5:1 Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for a feast of the Jews. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. 3 Here a great number of disabled ...read more

    There would have been thousands (if not tens of thousands) on the road near the Mt. of Olives when Jesus approached Jerusalem. Not everyone there that day was having the best day ever.

    Palm Sunday Dr. Mike Fogerson March 24, 2013 I 37 Then, as He was now drawing near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen, Luke 19:37 (NKJV) A There would have been ...read more

     | 2,730 views

    Friend, getting near to Him means getting close to His Word! You cannot ignore the Bible and say that you love Jesus! Do you hear me?

    Nearer and dearer! Genesis 21:22”At that time Abimelech and Phicol the commander of his army said to Abraham, "God is with you in all that you do.” The nearer and dearer you get to God, the lesser would you fear your enemies! Hallelujah! Abraham shed his previous fear and spoke ...read more

    As we look at the events taking place in the world today it is like reading the words of Jesus in Matthew 24. We are living in exciting days as His return draws near!

    Bunbury Sun am 13/03/11 “A world in travail” Intro: In light of recent events I think it is fitting that we take time to look at what the Bible has to say about the world we are living in & all that is taking place.

    As Christians we are bound to fail. Peter and John walked by one man laying near the gate called Beautiful countless times. In time they provided for the man physically and spiritually.

    Romans 8:28 28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
