    Peace on Earth, Good will toward all men. This peace has been elusive. There is a peace that surpasses all understanding, it is the peace that Jesus gives.

    Peace that Surpasses Phil. 4:2-9 What is Peace? Roget’s Thesaurus has these words after peace; calm, quiet, stillness, tranquility, silence, harmony and serenity. The word used here in Philippians 4 is defined as “one, peace, quietness, rest and set at one again. It is not ...read more

    We must 1) Forsake our Former life, 2) Understand our Present Life and 3) Live for our Future Life

    At year end tends to be a time of extremes. Some fall into one extreme of debauchery and falling back into a lifestyle that they were redeemed from. Or the other extreme, like that of the Galatians, of falling into a type of legalism of trying to earn their favour with God. The Galatians has ...read more

    Grace And Gratitude

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Jul 6, 2011
     | 5,020 views

    When we understand the grace of Jesus we will not point to others and be offended by their sin - instead we will see that we have a sin debt.

Then someone in your family comes along and takes the remote and switches channels. Hey I was watching that. How dare you. And you get all ...read more

    Only 26% of the adult population believes that the Bible, the Word of God, is inspired, is infallible and is inerrant. These three aspects are vitally important in understanding the Bible.

    The Holy Bible was written over a fifteen-hundred year span, by forty different authors from every walk of life. It was written by kings, servants, fishermen, poets, doctors, herdsmen and even a tax collector. It was written on three different continents, Europe, Asia and Africa in sixteen ...read more

    This is the 5th message in our walk through Revelation. Here, we are offering an understanding of chapter 10 and the mighty angel and the little scroll.

    In studying the book of Revelation, we find that the first nine chapters bring us almost to the middle of the Revelation, or to the 50-yard line. And now, it is time for mankind to receive a message from a “mighty” angel. That message is described as something sweet to the mouth but bitter to ...read more

    God’s Grace is something that is kinda simple but kinda hard to really understand. What does it mean to embrace God’s grace?

    At the beginning of our current series on the book of Romans, I mentioned that one of the reasons that Paul wrote the book in the first place was to speak to some misunderstandings that had been circulating in the early church about his teachings in general. Nowhere was Paul more misunderstood ...read more
