Grooooan! Creation Groans, The Spirit Groans, We All Groan. Series

Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Jul 26, 2017

History is full of turning points. In Romans 8, Paul tells us that we still suffer from the turning point that happened in the Garden of Eden. However, history's greatest turning point, the death and resurrection of Jesus, is undoing the effects of that

One of the unique things about history is being able to look back and to see the moments and turning points in which everything changed. It is neat to see how some of the smallest, and seemingly unimportant events, at a certain moment in time, had a bigger significance than anyone would have ...read more

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Apr 5, 2012

A short talk for Good Friday. I am deeply challenged by Peter reminding us that when suffering for his faith, Jesus did not retaliate and made no threats; and we’re called to follow his example!

When I was at school there was no such thing as an anti-bullying policy, and I think I was on the receiving end of a large amount of abuse, mainly due to my surname, Pidgeon, and my painfully thin physique. As I look back I think I eventually adopted my own personal anti-bullying policy and it went ...read more
