Go! And Proclaim The Gospel - The Gospel Of Mark Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Aug 16, 2025

The Gospel of Mark is the shortest of the four Gospels, He presents Jesus as the Servant King, the One who gave His life as a ransom for many (Mark 10:45). And woven through its pages is a strong call for His disciples — that’s you and me — to go and proclaim the Gospel.

For many believers, the thought of evangelism brings fear. We worry about rejection, about saying the ...read more

Paul presents several pictures of how we can be deceived by false teaching. Just as Eve was deceived, so may we be deceived. Don’t expect to see Satan as some hideous monster, he and his servants may fool you with their masquerade, stay connected to those

Are You The King Of The Jews?

Contributed by Paul Green on Nov 27, 2021

Jesus was the King who never looked like a King, the King who never acted like a king – at least not in the way the world understands royalty. He came the first time, 2000 years ago, as the servant king, and he is coming again, in power and in glory, as the king over all kings.

Today is the last Sunday of the Christian year, traditionally recognised as ‘The Feast of Christ the King’. Next week is Advent - the start of a new Christian year, but today we conclude the old ecclesiastical year with a proclamation of the kingship of Christ. ‘The Feast of Christ the King’ is a ...read more

Polygamous Life (Genesis 30)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jul 9, 2024

Can God show mercy upon very imperfect servants? Does Jacob's life reveal that polygamy simply does not work? Was God's design from the beginning of one man and one woman simply the best? Let's look at Genesis 30.

Does Jacob’s life reveal why polygamy does not work? Did Leah suffer because of this selfish lifestyle? Did competition between wives make family harmony difficult?

It’s Worth The Cost

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Sep 27, 2022

If we are truly going to be Jesus’ disciple, there will be a cost involved. And for those willing to make that sacrifice, God will be able to pour out His power and glory through that person.

Please turn with me to Luke 14. Sometimes when I say the word “Luke” I want to go all Star Wars! L-U-K-E.
