    based on 1 rating
     | 3,690 views

    For many people, Philippians 4:13 is their favourite message, but they never look at the verses preceding that verse of following it. This message looks at what true contentment is.

    It’s a favourite verse for many people. It’s a verse that gets claimed when we are in difficult situations. When we are trying new things. A verse for those times when we are attempting the difficult, the improbable, and the impossible. But for too many people, it is more a motivational statement ...read more

    We are here again to celebrate God’s gift to the church. A pastor is like a watchman because both are spiritual guardians who are vigilant, provide warnings, and speak God's word to protect their community.

    Sermon: Celebrating God’s Watchman Scripture: Isaiah 21:11-12 “The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?

    Part 2 of a series on Blackaby’s Experiencing God: when God pursues us, we can either keep on running, hoping that He cannot catch up, or we can hide, hoping He will not find us. We need to let His love catch us.

    A few weeks ago I was driving down Fifth Street, on my way to a hospital visit. Just this side of the Soldiers’ home grounds, I became aware that some driver was right on my back bumper, weaving back and forth, his engine roaring, his horn blowing. Somebody was in a very big hurry. Well, as we ...read more

    Marriage is a wonderful gift from God to humankind. When we live and love up to the promise of marriage it really is a taste of heaven.

    How often do you think about the things of God? How much time do you spend reading the Bible? There is so much in God’s word that we need to put into practice in our own lives. We need to ensure we are not running on empty.

    We see Cain yielding to sin and falling bait to it just because of his heart condition. He did not take any stand to rule over it or run from it. He just yielded. For Cain (and for us) there is an exit on every level of temptation, and we need to see the

    Opening illustration: When we sin we often do so with the futile hope that we shall obtain the maximum amount of pleasure at the minimum penalty. It seldom works that way, however.

    God is calling out to each of us to turn to Him – to repent and follow completely. What we do with this simple command shows who He is to us (it’s personal); so if we choose to run away from the things of God then we choose us over Him!

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 8, 2024
     | 922 views

    Some churches run so many activities that some servants are just worn out. We need more exits and “coming aside to rest” for contentment. Remember activities in the Lord’s name could be a barrier that stops us knowing Jesus better! We look at hope in Israel.
