And I know what ...read more

    The power and penalty of sin is clear in Scripture adn we need to understand the devastation of the fall to truly glory in the cross.

    We begin Genesis 3 with the serpent – Satan, although it’s not until Revelation 12 that “this ancient serpent” is clearly identified as the devil. He’s a talking serpent, which might seem strange and has for many people reinforced their belief that Genesis 1-3 is ...read more

    The sermon seeks to challenge believers to break out of their shells by becoming more Christ-centred and focus on the Kingdom. It is an attempt to try to correct the imbalance in seeking God's kingdom benefits only without wanting to do the right things.

    When there is a need for expansion (enlargement, explosion, increment, prosperity, moving to the next level, promotion, advancement, progress, uplifting, success, magnification, addition, augmentation, amplification, elevation and excellence) but constriction is a challenge, then its time to break ...read more

    A look at Grace demonstrated in the lives of Joseph, Moses, David and Peter

    It seemed to make perfect sense: If the “Grace of God” was a good thing, and if the “Grace of God” was demonstrated through the forgiveness of sin, then the more we sinned than the more the Grace of God would be demonstrated. It seems to make perfect sense but it ...read more
