    Sometimes God want us to wait but calls us to pray and respond to the leading of Christ!

    Our Scripture of the week is Psalm 46:10a - "Be still, and know that I am God!” Why is it a good thing to pause daily and think about God??

    It is easier to slip into our post-modern patterns of relating rather than move toward involvement over isolation, longing for genuineness over guardedness. The only salvation today is Solomon’s wise counsel on relating: “Two are better than one, because

    25Near the cross of Jesus stood His mother, His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdeline. 26When Jesus saw His mother there, and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, “Dear woman, here is your son,” 27and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From ...read more

Rom. 3:23 For ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God All of us have transgressed God’s laws. All of us were on our way to eternal punishment, deserving our just reward… BUT ...read more

    Are we still waiting for the gospel, eager to hear the preaching? Do we come to church hungry for the food of the Word? To you and me it will be good news only if we realize how much we need it—how much we need the Lord every day, and every hour.

    We’re about to do something very old-fashioned. It’s not often anymore that people will sit down for thirty or forty minutes, and listen to another person talking: without interruption, without visual aids, or any active engagement of the audience. But that’s what a sermon is. And so a sermon is an ...read more

    The Israelites soon forgot their marvellous deliverance in the Exodus from Egypt - just as we today forget God’s mercies - which is why a Remembrance Day is a necessary challenge to remember what we were, what happened and what we should be.

    REMEMBRANCE DAY -THEN AND NOW What does Remembrance Day mean to you? For some who lost loved ones in the wars of the 20th century it will have very special memories, but for most of us it’s a very necessary reminder of suffering and sacrifice by ordinary men and women ...read more
