    The Precious.

    God’s promises weighed on the balance scales In your mind’s eye, please see a set of balance scales. Balance scales are the type we see the blind lady of justice holding, where a heavier weight tilts in that direction but even weight balances out perfectly.

    The Precious. Jeremiah 15:19 The prophet Jeremiah faced rebuke, mockery and loneliness and stood transparent before God and lifted his state of depression to the Lord. God’s promises weighed on the balance scales In your mind’s eye, please see a set of balance scales. Balance scales are the type ...read more

    Abraham Lincoln said, "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt." Beloved, you can speak life or death. Tame the tongue...and speak life.

    In this message, Yours truly has endeavored to bring out the some of the truths so as to show, how the Mother’s love is in a way a microcosm of the Almighty’s love and what serious responsibilities come the way of a privileged Christian mother...

    The Bible is like a patch of ground with gold in it. You can walk along & kick a few rocks on the surface & hope you'll find gold or you can be serious about mining the gold & making great profits from your claim.

    Bunbury Sun am 24/07/11 “Miners of the Word” Intro: *** Ps Farrell was telling me last week that now in the middle of winter he comes into the building for morning prayer & some of the folks who have been in prayer go through & turn lights on everywhere.

    The Day The Criminal Was Set Free Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 12, 2018
     | 6,473 views

    The day Jesus was crucified, we read of a man who was apprehended, convicted of serious crimes, and sentenced to death. His guilt was beyond question, and yet he was released, set free and pardoned of all charges. In his place, and innocent man died.

    The Day the Criminal was Set Free Mark 15: 6-15 This had been a week of extreme emotion for all involved. Jesus, our precious Lord, was in His last hours prior to the crucifixion. These events have taken place very early on Friday morning. Just five days before Jesus had made His triumphant ...read more

    Persistence Through Persecution Series

    based on 6 ratings
     | 10,171 views

    Jesus openly warns that the missionary aspect of the mission of His followers would be countered with serious & even deadly opposition. Yet Jesus also knew that danger & even threat of death could not defeat a soul set ablaze by His eternal love.

    MATTHEW 10: 16-23 [THE MESSIAH REVEALED] PERSISTENCE THROUGH PERSECUTION [Acts 4:8-21] Previously the Twelve's mission had been depicted as being received in a relatively friendly manner. In this passage, the disciples were warned that many who rejected the Kingdom message would not leave it ...read more

     | 3,566 views

    Christians must remember that they are called to put off their former way of life, to renew their minds, and to put on the new self, which will produce a Godlier lifestyle.

    Let us pray... Our passage today is from Ephesians 4:20-24. It says: 20You, however, did not come to know Christ that way. 21Surely you heard of him and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. 22You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your ...read more

    Roadwork Series

    Contributed by Tim Smith on May 28, 2015
     | 5,132 views

    When you think of it, roadwork is a pretty good analogy of the journey of faith. God accepts us where we are but wants us to become like his Son. For most of us, that means there’s serious roadwork to do.

    Road Work Mark 8:34-38 My wife and I used to live Uptown on Octavia Street between Constance and Laurel just two blocks from Tchoupitoulas. At that time, the Port of Orleans was redoing Tchoupitoulas. When the street was dug up, they found that many of the feeder drainage pipes from the ...read more

     | 1,836 views

    How do we deal with others in reprimand? How do we deal with serious problems in the church and in Christian lives? It is difficult. In this message Paul had to reprimand Peter publicly because Peter failed in the very matter Paul was fighting against.

    THE BOOK OF GALATIANS – CHAPTER 2:11-21 - MESSAGE 5 – PAUL REPRIMANDS THE APOSTLE PETER PUBLICLY We are continuing the series in Galatians, following the letter that deeply impressed Paul’s heart because the gospel he preached was being mangled.

     | 20,026 views

    There is a lot of talk about true love. But what is true love? So much of what passes for true love is really the opposite. In Ephesians 5:3-7 we learn that there is such a thing as false love and that the consequences are serious for those who are fooled

    Being a Christ follower requires having control of body, mind and spirit as we encounter the world as witnesses and co labors in bringing a little heaven to earth.

    A few weeks ago, we started a year-long journey chronological study of the New Testament today. Hence the reason we are calling this message series Chronos.
