    Is our church focussed on what it's members prefer? Or we are fishers of people who get out of bed on a cold dark night because that is what fish prefer?

    “To say that the room was tense would be a massive understatement. It was eight years before the death of the church, but few in that room could have predicted the church’s demise. The church had bounced back a bit during the past year. Since most of the members would not allow any {change to the ...read more

     | 1,738 views

    We are on the cusp of a new year - 2024 - and with that new year comes a multitude of unknowns. Rather than tiptoe into the new year in fear, however, we should stride in with confidence because of the Holy Spirit who walks with us into unknown territory.

    Introduction In our studies we have visited the idea that the Holy Spirit is the answer of the promises of God made throughout the Old Testament, culminating at Pentecost. The Holy Spirit is a divine person. The Holy Spirit is the source of enormous blessings in our life, and we walk daily with ...read more

    Division: a declaration of how things will be, rather than an imperative of how they should be.

    FIRE! BAPTISM! DISCERNING THIS TIME. Luke 12:49-56. There is a measure of dissonance as this passage comes crashing through Jesus’ symphony of peace. “Fire!” begins the Greek of Luke 12:49. “Fire I came to cast into the earth, and what will I if it be already kindled?” Fire speaks to us of ...read more
