    A Corporate, Intimate, Reverent Prayer.

    SOME THOUGHTS ON THE LORD’S PRAYER. Matthew 6:7-15. In the expression, “When you (all) pray” (Matthew 6:7), Jesus assumes that His disciples (in all ages) WILL pray.

    An exhortation and three warnings frame what might be another Christ hymn.

    YE ARE COMPLETE IN HIM. Colossians 2:6-19. I. The Apostle Paul is concerned that the Colossians should not be “beguiled with enticing words” - or “deluded with beguiling speech” (Colossians 2:4).

    Indeed, as Paul prophesied, we are living in perilous times. When in such times you need to know your enemy and your resources and the weapons required to defeat him.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,087 views

    Our reconciliation with God is made possible by the grace of God through the work of Christ. Having been reconciled, we are made the righteousness of God in Him. We are enabled, by the same grace of God, to follow God in the way of righteousness.

    RECONCILIATION, AND GRACE TO FOLLOW. 2 Corinthians 5:20-21; 2 Corinthians 6:1-10. As an ambassador for Christ, Paul was pleading with the Corinthians - on behalf of Christ - that they go on being reconciled to God (2 Corinthians 5:20).

     | 2,663 views

    God's grace is available to all, but many receive this grace and pervert it. They turn the grace of God to a licence to commit immorality and do wickedness in our society. The consequences for those who despise, frustrate and pervert God's grave are severe.

    TEXT: Jude 1:4 (NIV). "For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord." CHOSEN BY ...read more
