The Promise Of Life

Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Mar 5, 2001

Jesus urges his listeners to the Sermon on the Mount to make The Choice for Life in entering the Kingdom of God, in terms of Two Gates, Two Ways, Two Destinations and Two Crowds.

Life In The Spirit Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jun 26, 2002

If we wonder whether we’re truly followers of Christ then this is one way God helps us: are our minds set on the things of God, is our failure to obey, something we struggle with, do we relate to God as our father, rather than someone distant and remote?
