    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jun 19, 2021
     | 2,478 views

    Jesus calls us to be merciful as God is merciful, and in the way God acted towards the people of Nineveh, he set the bar very high. The Assyrians were among the cruellest people in history.

    INTRODUCTION Jonah is one of the shortest books in the Bible. It’s just 48 verses long. That’s shorter than a lot of chapters in the New Testament. Because it’s such a short book, when Bible translators begin work translating the Bible into other languages they’ll often start with Jonah. They ...read more

    Sermon Acts 16:6-34 My favourite book in the Old Testament is the Book of Proverbs and in the New Testament is the Book of Acts.

     | 710 views

    I’d like to look at intentional living, which is about reassessing life, and living lives intentionally given the fact each one has only so many days left to live. As we begin, we’ll find those things we considered important might not be that important after all.

    What might the story of the raising of Jarius' daughter look like if it happened today?

    Introduction • Hear now the New Testament story of Jarius, the ruler of the Jewish synagogue. [Read Luke 8:40-56] • What if that story took place today? Instead of Jarius, let’s visit with a Baptist minister by the name of Wallace. Of utmost importance is for each of us to notice ...read more

    Mother’s Day 2018

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 24, 2018
     | 11,780 views

    Mothers shape our children who in turn shape our world. That's a lot of responsibility but God has seen fit to entrust it to women. A Mother’s work is never done and for that reason many wise mothers point us to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith

    Mother’s Day 2018 Mother’s today are the most courageous people I know of. They face a world that treats them and their contributions with contempt and indifference. We see the government removing the word “Mother” from official documents and replacing it with the words “Parent One”. Well at ...read more

    The God Who Gives Life To The Dead

    Contributed by Paul Mulani on Apr 29, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 14,393 views

    Quite often we want God to do new things in our lives. However, many a times God wants to raise the dead, to bring to life what is dead in our lives, and not just give us brand new things. He wants to renew, give life to the dead things in our lives so that they will bring life to the whole person.

    I want to begin by pointing out a correction that Jesus made to Martha's view on resurrection, a mistake that many people make even today. In John 11:40 we read, "Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” That was a kind rebuke. ...read more
