    Ash Wednesday: Christ’s name elicits jeers and rejection from those who don’t know Him. But for the poor in spirit, Christ is Savior, Son of the Living God.

    Why the outcry? Why the outcry when the name or the work of Jesus is mentioned in public? The reaction to the mention of the name is like splashing ice water on people. We see it in our own lives as the name of Jesus offends – sometimes family members; sometimes friends or neighbors. We see it in ...read more

    Just because you were born into a family with a strong Christian heritage, does not guarantee you have a home in heaven.

    Bound by the Lord’s purposes. Rom. 9: 6 -- 33. 08/03/03 The first part of verse six carries our minds back to what Paul said in vs. 1 -- 5.

    God Wants A Church For Forgiven Sinners Who Get A Jesus Welcome

    Saul was formerly a ’Preacher of Hate’. He was once a Religious Terrorist! After his dramatic conversion Saul, like us, was a forgiven sinner. He received a Jesus welcome into the Church from Ananias and Barnabas. That’s the Church God wants!

    He was once a religious fanatic and a religious terrorist at the same time. He was once a preacher of hate. There was a time when he was “breathing out murderous threats against followers of Jesus” (9:1). Saul! We heard last week that Saul’s conversion was as dramatic as the transformation which ...read more

    So often Christmas is a let down instead of full of joy - could it be because our focus is on us not Him?

This is your last chance’! You know a bit like that boy we all know that often Christmas often can be a ...read more
