Thoughts From A Fruitcake

Contributed by Dwane Parsons on Dec 17, 2010

A short, fun Christmas themed object lesson comparing the Gospel and fruitcake.

Fruitcake is full of wonderful things that taste good and are good for you. Cherries, pineapple, raisins, dates, molasses, eggs, flour, cake… all ...read more

Part 10 - Matthew 8:18-34 - When Jesus Skips Out On Church, You Know Someth Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Mar 3, 2010

It's interesting to me that Jesus called His disciples to leave the crowd and His disciples and they experience some spiritual warfare as they cross to the other side of the lake. Why would Jesus miss this opportunity, when He had a crowd gathered?

Part 10 - Matthew 8:18-34 - WHEN JESUS SKIPS OUT ON CHURCH, YOU KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG! I remember as a young student Pastor being invited to a Church for afternoon tea. They said they wanted to pray for me. What I didn't realise is that they wanted to pray for me to be their Pastor. At the end ...read more

Honor Your Father And Mother Series

Contributed by Michael Sawyer on Nov 16, 2013

Honor Your Father and Mother Exodus 20:12 "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you. With the start of the fifth commandment, we move from a framework of relationship to God and start to focus on the relationship we have ...read more

The Hidden God In Silent, Quiet Prayer

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 23, 2017

We seek in love a God who has penchant for hiding himself, and we are drawn to follow him into his own hiding places.

“Even in the consolation that silent prayer may grant, there is always a deeper layer of spiritual need untouched by peace, unsoothed by the tranquil breeze. This recess of poverty in the soul longs for a companion still not seen. It craves for more the passing satisfaction. Our gratitude ought to ...read more
