    A Lying Life Series

    Contributed by C. Philip Green on Jan 24, 2025
     | 1,014 views

    Separate yourself from false teachers, because as believers in Christ, you are righteous before God, you are the residence of God, and you have a special relationship with God. So out of reverence for God, let the truth set you free to complete your progress towards holiness.

    A man had a fine canary whose song was unusually beautiful. During the summer, it seemed a shame to keep the bird inside the house all the time. So the owner placed the cage in a nearby tree for the bird to enjoy the sunshine and the fresh air. Many sparrows frequented the tree and were attracted ...read more

     | 708 views

    As we begin we have opened six of the seven seals around the little scroll which could only be opened by the Lamb who was slain–Jesus Christ. Before the seventh seal is opened, we encounter seven trumpets.

    A thorough study of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to show his servants things which must shortly come to pass.

     | 142 views

    Trusting Jesus in life’s storms means refusing to panic, fixing our eyes on Him, and finding courage and peace in His presence above our fears.

    If you’ve ever stood in a kitchen at midnight staring at a stack of bills, or sat in a hospital parking lot and felt your heart pound, you know what it is to feel like a thin boat on a thick sea. The wind rises, the waves talk loud, and worries whip across the surface of the soul like whitecaps on ...read more

     | 140 views

    Trusting God with opposition frees us from control and revenge, inviting us to pray honestly and rest in His faithful care amid conflict and criticism.

    Some weeks feel like a parade of prickly people and pricklier problems. A stray comment stings. A coworker corners you with criticism. The group text lights up with misunderstandings, and your heart feels like a drumline—pounding, pounding, pounding. Have you ever replayed a conversation until your ...read more

     | 66 views

    God’s approval, not others’ opinions, defines our worth; even when those closest doubt us, Jesus understands and affirms our value through the cross.

    Some of the hardest headwinds we face often blow from our own back porch. It’s funny how life works: strangers may applaud you, acquaintances may admire you, but the folks who know your middle name and saw your backyard mistakes can struggle to see God’s handiwork in you. They remember the messy ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 106 views

    Prayer begins with trusting God as our Father, centering our lives on Him, and building a simple, daily rhythm of fellowship through Christ.

    If you listen close enough, right where the morning is thin and the coffee is warm, you can almost hear the first word Jesus taught us to pray: Father. Not a distant title, not a cold address, but a name full of nearness and tenderness. The kind of name a child whispers when the night is long and ...read more

     | 134 views

    Our words and promises carry deep consequences; God calls us to speak carefully, obey courageously, and trust His grace even when we fail.

    Friend, your words carry weight. Promises shape people. Vows mark moments. We know the power of a whispered “I do,” the gravity of “I’ll be there,” and the ache of “I’m sorry.” Words can build bridges, and words can burn them. Have you ever wished you could take a sentence back? Have you ever felt ...read more

    True stability and lasting fruit come not from striving, but from letting Christ dwell deeply within us, shaping our hearts and lives with His presence.

    Welcome, friends. If life this week felt like a tug-of-war—pulled by pressure, pushed by problems—take a breath. You’re in good company, and you’re in a good place. The God who made you also means to steady you. He has a way of slipping peace into a restless heart and strength into weary bones. ...read more

    The Vanishing Father

    Contributed by Charles Payne on Jun 12, 2025
     | 461 views

    There was a time—not so long ago—when the word “father” evoked strength, stability, and sacrificial love. When a man’s presence brought comfort, not confusion… direction, not detachment… blessing, not brokenness. But somewhere along the line, the father began to vanish.

    THE VANISHING FATHER SCRIPTURE Malachi 4:6 “And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.” PROLOGUE TO THE SERIES: “The Vanishing Father” Four Reflections Toward the Restoration of Godly ...read more

    The world may tell us we are alone, unseen, and forgotten—but the truth of God’s Word declares that He is always with us. Even in our darkest moments, His presence remains constant. We are never truly alone.

    Unlocking The Power Of Thanksgiving

    Contributed by Amar Chandnani on Jul 13, 2025
     | 504 views

    1 THESSALONIANS 5:18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. What Happens? What happens when we build this attitude of gratitude? The SHIFT from a state of ILL-BEING to WELL-BEING is explicitly triggered by thankfulness and gratitude.

    Unlocking the Power of Thanksgiving Now, I will be your teacher this morning and today we will be looking into the divine power of thanksgiving. In how thanksgiving is not just a byword and utterance of appreciation but also a KEY that can change our PRAYER LIFE and draw us closer to GOD! Are you ...read more

    The Jesus We Trust When The Going Gets Tough

    Contributed by Dorothy Lam on Jul 16, 2025
     | 426 views

    Peter's desire to walk on water to be with Jesus is certainly a good thing, but he is unprepared for the consequences of this big step of faith. How do we handle headwinds and the waves that will certainly come in this life of faith?

    Jesus was having a pretty demanding day. That morning, Jesus heard the tragic news that his cousin John the Baptist had been killed. King Herod had him executed in prison. It was a terrible injustice. That morning Jesus intended to get away by himself to pray. He needed to know from his Heavenly ...read more

    A talk on prayer preached at St Christophers Hanwell 28 July 2025, at a Cafe Communion service - where people sit around tables and the sermon is inevitably quite interactive.

    INTRO “one of his disciples said to him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples” [Luke 11:1] Martin Luther, the 16th Century reformer, was once asked much time he spent in prayer. “An hour a day” he said. “But what about if you are really busy?” “If I am really busy I have to spend ...read more
