    This is another in a youth series that parallels Superman’s super-strength with Jesus’ infinite power.

    More Powerful than a Locomotive One of the most remarkable of Superman’s powers and abilities is his sheer strength. The old radio serial of the 1940’s boasted that Superman “could change the course of mighty rivers,” and “bend steel in his bare hands.” One of Joe Shuster’s earliest sketches of ...read more

    The power of Lent is in the wilderness of letting go and disengaging with the world so that we can reconnect to God.

    To be effective in ministry, let us not focus too much on self but rather be concern for the welfare of others.

    To be effective in ministry, we need to learn one thing – don’t take yourself too seriously. Don’t be too bothered about how people see you or treat you. Get over yourself. Don’t get stuck inside your own ego, because over time it will become your prison. It is amazing that while Jesus was ...read more

    We should insist on acknowledging and honoring Christ in the way He has directed us in His word, not in a way that men determine for themselves.
