    A Mother's Poem: "Some may climb Mt Everest, ... in search of thrills galore, But I scale peaks that rival it, ... just past the laundry door: Slopes of socks and underwear, ... sheer cliffs of shirts and pants.

    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

    Everything we know about God and His workings in our inner persons, we are able to know because of our faith. Even though Paul was a prisoner when he wrote this letter, he remained positive and persevered because he was “rooted and grounded in God’s love”.

    The blind have never had it easy in this world. This story features Jesus healing a man from blindness, and also telling him, "go thy way". This is the last time the phrase "go thy way" appears in Mark's gospel.

He had already explained this to the disciples, a short time before this (Mark 10: 43-44). Now the group is heading through Jericho, where He performed a miracle for a man who was ...read more

     | 1,976 views

    As Christians, when we talk about the cross we are talking about the place where the “lamb of God”, was slain to take away the sins of the world! (John 1:29). The Cross is where the sin of man, the wages of death and the fear of death were destroyed by God’s love once and for all.

But first, let’s deal with what some people believe are the reasons why we are here today. During times like these, I’ve heard ministers say “God needed another ...read more
