Very, very occasionally I will head off somewhere on a train, and as I look around the platform, it doesn’t take too long to see that there is a difference between how adults and children wait for its arrival.

    Paul has some thought provoking and compelling words in Romans six. Words that are designed to cut to the heart of the listener. Words that are well chosen to solicit a quick response from the heart of the Christian and the backslider.

    Title: Once, for all! Scripture: Romans 6:9-14 9 For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. 10 The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. 11 In the same way, count yourselves ...read more

    This sermon will provoke you to look at our personal relationship with God so that He might develop the uniqueness in each of us. He wants us to be opened to change and the new season we are entering!

    God cannot do anything in the earth unless man does it; He has given the authority and dominion to man. The only way His will can be done if we do it. We are created for different times and seasons; that’s why we are unique…even if we are in the same family. God wants to express our ...read more

    Are you honoring your mother only today by a tiny token or am I honoring her by a lifestyle that warms her heart and provokes thanks to God rather than tears before Him

    It is called Mother’s Day, not wife’s or wives’ day for the simple reason that it is the day children honor their mothers, not husbands honoring wives or fathers honoring mothers. It is a day when children reexamine what mothers mean to them. It is a day when children reexamine their relationships ...read more
