    Paul was plunged into darkness and given sight when Ananias placed hands upon him. Every Christian has the ability to bring people out darkness... but how do we do it?

    OPEN: A mother was busy making supper in the kitchen, and needing a can of tomato soup, she asked her 5 year old son to go into the pantry and get one for her.

    Jesus does some cleaning out of the temple to clear out the things that restricted worship of God.

    Spring Cleaning… John 2:13-19 It seems a little strange to me but, it appears to be something that many people have built into their DNA. Mostly women… When the first flowers start to bud out many households enter into spring cleaning mode. Personally, I and many, if not most, men don’t ...read more

     | 10,102 views

    If by birth and by nature we have a lack of light, we don’t understand, don’t recognize, don’t receive the Light, how awesome it is that by simply believing the gospel we receive the light of Jesus Christ.

Matthew: King of the Jews, Son of David, Heir of Israel’s throne Mark: Servant of God, the perfect Workman of God – the text in Mark brings out the characteristics of His service ...read more

    Good leadership is more than just giftedness. It also involves faithfulness to God, a right focus and direction for God’s people.

    If you go to the book shop and browse the shelves in the management area, chances are you’ll find a host of books focusing on leadership as the critical factor in the success of a business. And when you think about it, it makes sense. If the person at the top is a good leader then the organisation ...read more

    Jesus is going away, but they will not be left to their own resources. The Father will send the Spirit in Jesus’ place. The power of God is resident in Jesus & His disciples are invited to know Jesus & gain life from Him, & share His power.
