The Way Of The Lord Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Apr 7, 2025

The Way of the LORD is a path that requires trust, obedience, and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Through the Scriptures, believers are encouraged to walk in this way, trusting in God's guidance and living in accordance with His will.

Eyes That See, Hearts That Burn

Contributed by W Pittendreigh on Sep 16, 2006

Why do we have "Holy Communion?" This is a sermon in the Reformed tradition that answers that in three ways -- Obedience, Remembrance and Enlightenment (or nurture).

The story of the Ark’s return to Jerusalem is a sharp reminder of what happens if God’s instructions are flouted and the blessing that obedience brings.
