    Resurrection begins in us when we walk in obedience to God.

    Resurrection. We are a people of resurrection. We have crosses displayed because of what Jesus did for us willingly there, but the true miracle is in the empty tomb.

    God is able to perform miracles today. Whatever our circumstances, situations or problems are today, we can trust our Heavenly Father to care, to bless, to move, to act, to deliver and to heal today. Dispel your doubts and focus your faith on God.

    In many ways today is no different from any other day and perhaps that is where the problem is... Our Sundays can feel so routine - our expectation is the same - being church together is something we can do on autopilot. We know God is the same yesterday, today and forever - but we specifically ...read more

    Our Christian Legacy

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Dec 22, 2015
     | 5,558 views

    In our world where trying to get ahead of one another seems to be the rule, God asks us to consider a new reality: to love genuinely and reciprocally, to clutch that which is good and to compete to show the most integrity.

    Have you ever thought about the legacy you want to leave behind when you die? I’m not talking about a physical legacy such as the things you own. I’m talking about how you want people to remember you. The type of legacy you leave behind will depend on the kind of life you lead on earth. ...read more

    We all know that God is a consuming fire, and we all know that we are to live a life on Fire for God, but what we at times lose sight of is that God has made us responsible for our own flame.
