    Forgiving Difficult People Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,755 views

    Jesus taught about dealing with difficult people. He stressed how we should not run away from our problems, or fight back against opposition, but that we should persist with people, so we can one day win them to faith in Christ.

    There is nothing easy about the world in which we live. This is a world full of people, and if we are going to succeed in life, or be effective at sharing the gospel, we must learn how to deal with people, especially those who are difficult; and we must learn to love them no matter how they treat ...read more

    Lasting Treasures Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 27, 2022
     | 3,064 views

    The biggest problem we face today is that our possessions tend to give us a false sense of security as if to say if we only had enough money or enough property, or enough furniture and clothing and jewelry – and did I mention shoes? – we would have it made.

    LASTING TREASURES Matthew 6:19-21 19 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 21, 2024
     | 711 views

    We need mature men in ministry, tried and tested and well established in the bible. Many times the pastor finds himself in the middle of problems and tensions, some serious, particularly when it comes to complaints about others. A cult following must not happen to any minister. Humility!

    DEALING WITH TENSIONS AND CONFLICTS IN CHURCHES AND CHURCH ORGANISATIONS – PRACTICAL EXAMINATION AND SUGGESTIONS – PART 4 Problems and tensions in the church often begin small and escalate. They can be difficult to remedy and this series of articles looks at some areas that cause tensions and ...read more

    Psalm 34:12-14 - Part 5 – The Tongue A Strained Bow - And Depart; Do; Seek; Pursue Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 2, 2025
     | 236 views

    Today we stress the power of the tongue to do evil but it must be controlled. Also, depart from evil and do good. The tongue is troublesome and we spent time looking at the problem. With everything we must be conformed to the image of Christ. Even Christians fear to commit themselves.

    PSALM 34:12-14 - PART 5 – THE TONGUE A STRAINED BOW - AND DEPART; DO; SEEK; PURSUE In our last message in this glorious Psalm we were at the start of the second half of the Psalm. This alphabetic Psalm has 22 verses/stanzas to match the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet, but it has two divisions ...read more

     | 1,369 views

    For human beings the delicate balance between judgement AND mercy is very hard to maintain and we err one way or the other. God has it absolutely correct. Part 3 looks at that problem, as well as the vengeance and retribution of God. We cover various aspects. “Vengeance is Mine.”

    THE RETRIBUTION OF GOD AND COMBATTING INJUSTICE – THE DELICATE BALANCE OF JUDGMENT AND MERCY – PART 3 THE DELICATE BALANCE OF JUDGMENT AND MERCY – CAN HUMAN BEINGS HANDLE IT?

    Time continues to run even when all else stops. Dark nights are inevitable but no matter how dark the night is, it will always give way to light in the morning. It's only a matter of time. Every problem in life has an expiry date.

    This is a story about ordinary people, with problems and difficulties just like you and me. When we invite Jesus into our lives and go deeper with Him, we find that Jesus calms our worries and provides for all our needs, turning us into fishers of men.

    In the book of Luke, we find a beautiful story about a fisherman named Simon who was chosen by Jesus to follow and serve Him.

    Change, if the world is not the way it needs to be---what is our response

    One of the pressing questions of our day, or any day, is how do we make lasting social change which reflects the values of God’s Kingdom. The short answer for many is the ballot box. Yet there are plenty of issues which demand more nuance than legislation. From the Temperance movement of the 1820’s ...read more

    Praise gives access to God

    Psalm 22:3 The Power of Praise Praise gives us access to God. Sometimes people will say, “I feel that God is a million miles away and my prayers bounce right off of the ceiling.” Scriptures tell us to “Draw near to God and he will draw nigh to you” (James 4:8 KJV).

    The Gospel writers, Matthews, Mark, Luke and John devoted many pages leading up to the crucifixion of Jesus. Many scriptures were written so that we could have a history Jesus’ ministry.
