    The story of Ruth is a story of a woman whose life has spun out of control. Does she look to society for help? Does she use her sexuality to manipulate others to help? Or does she call on her redeemer?

    Have you ever noticed that so many of the Calls to Worship that we hear in church talk about joy? Ps 66: “Shout with joy to God, all the earth! Sing the glory of his name; make his praise glorious!” Ps 100 “Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him ...read more

    For you to get the best from God, you need to have that spirit that takes no for an answer. You need to move on in God without fear or trembling and God will show Himself strong.

    The Book of Ruth gives us a picture of what could happen when a child of God turns back to the world of sin.

He said: A friend had called his home and asked, "Is the doctor in?" The Professor’s 10 year old son replied, "Yes, but he’s not the kind ...read more

Because to be honest, the problem is, in my own mind, I’m BOB THE BUILDER. But in practice, all I usually do is ...read more
