    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 26, 2026
     | 202 views

    Scripture describes a peculiar people, not withdrawn but faithful, following the Lamb, recognizable by reflecting Christ’s character, carrying truth that always walks alongside mercy together.

In phrases that surface again and again: “Things are accelerating.” “Prophecy is lining up.” “We’re ...read more

    This a sermon given to a group of mainly over 60’s, challenging us to think about Stephen. In particular the way he copied Jesus by praying for his persecutors.

They loved their Bible (our Old Testament) and they were very vocal in their defence of the faith which had ...read more

    The philosophers of Paul’s day are not really that much different from what we see in the world around us in a post-Christian society. How Paul addressed them can help us in dealing with people who collect thoughts like Matchbox cars.

    What did you collect as a child? I collected a number of things, pennies, model trains, marbles, and Matchbox® cars. I would wait anxiously until my mother would drive me down to the toy store so I could drool over the latest and greatest tiny little car or truck. I used to show off my more ...read more
