The Jesus Manifesto Series

Contributed by Jefferson Williams on Jul 30, 2020

Sarah - The Mother Of Faith Series

Contributed by Thomas Fortini on Aug 14, 2020

The following is a continuation of the sermon series: Living by Faith. Hebrews 11: 11 By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised. 12 Therefore from one man, and him as good as ...read more

What Is God Doing To Us?

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Aug 30, 2020

Most of the time when this question is asked it's in the negative form. "God, why are you doing this?" Perhaps you've asked this question since the pandemic started. But today I'll be looking at this in a positive way regarding the things God does to and for us.

WHAT IS GOD DOING TO US? Most of the time when this question is asked it's in the negative form. We question what God is allowing us to go through. "God, why are you doing this to me?" Perhaps people have asked this question since the pandemic started. But today, my focus in asking ...read more

God Moves The Nations

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 2, 2021

To bring about the birth of Jesus, the Almighty God moved the nations, even the greatest empire the world has ever seen.

Think of what a small event it seemed to be! There was a man, and there was a woman. The woman was but a teenager, pregnant, and ready any day to give birth. This man and woman found themselves far from home, down in the province of Judea, in the town of Bethlehem. While they were there, they ...read more

Don't Follow Folly

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 2, 2021

Will we live on the streets of “sin city,” laying our head down in the gutter of wickedness? Or will we listen to the invitation of wisdom, to follow in God’s ways and live in the glory of his eternal mansions?

How wonderful all things were in the beginning! When we read Genesis 1, we hear this theme repeated: “And God saw that it was good.” Time and again, culminating with this declaration on the sixth day: “God saw all that he had made, and it was very good” (v 31). It was very good. Man and woman ...read more

How Do You Answer Jesus?

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 4, 2021

What is our reaction to the Saviour? What do we do with the message of Jesus Christ? That’s a good question for us, who hear and read often about the coming of Jesus in the flesh and about his dying on the cross. So what do we do now? How do treat the message of the gospel?

In this world there are scientists of all kinds. So many people, researching so many areas of knowledge. And among these many scientists, there are those who study human behaviour.

Contributed by James Jackson on Feb 13, 2021

Jesus Gives Life To The Dying

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 14, 2021

Jesus doesn’t give every answer, and He sometimes sends us on ahead without any certainty that things are going to change. He doesn’t give a sign that will ease every doubt about our future, or worries about our family, or whatever else. Yet we can be confident in all that He has said.

How much power do your words have? I mean, if you gave an order or a command, would your words carry any weight? Maybe they would, if you’re a mom and you asked your son to empty the dishwasher, or if you’re in charge at the office and you told your secretary to draft a letter. You speak, and it ...read more
