We have studies what Jesus taught about: The Holy Spirit … the Tongue … Prayer … Thanksgiving. Jesus wasn’t the only one to teach about REPENTANCE. That was the major theme of John ...read more

     | 4,424 views

    When disaster strikes, the question is not ’what did they do to deserve that?’. The question is - ’What am I going to do about it?’

    Luke 13: 1-9 What did they do to deserve that? We have had another week of disaster. Once again we’ve seen large numbers of people killed and maimed, most particularly in the awful disaster at Madrid. At once again we might ask the question ’what on earth have they done to deserve that?’. And it ...read more

    Some believe repentance means simply to "turn around" and go in the opposite direction. But the Bible tells us repentance is much more than this.

    The Greek word for repentance is metanoia. Meta means "to change or shift" and noia means "perspective." It literally means a change in the way one views things. Repentance means not only saying you’re sorry, it means you are going to genuinely change and mend your ways. John was preaching ...read more

    In recent days, from a number of sources, I have been given the proclamation of thanksgiving that Lincoln issued in 1863. (I’ve seen it in church newsletters and been sent it via email.)
