    Heaven’s Definition Of Greatness

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Oct 17, 2015
     | 5,545 views

    Sometimes we have the idea that if we follow Jesus we are guaranteed to receive a reward. When that happens we forget that Jesus’ ministry was one of serving others. He gave himself for the sake of others, including suffering for their salvation.

    In Mark 10:35-45, Jesus once again told his disciples everything that would happen to him in Jerusalem-his trial, death, resurrection and ascension. James and John seized this opportunity to ask for the highest positions of honour in his kingdom-at the right and left hands of Jesus. They forgot ...read more

    26th Sunday in Course 2015 What is the most important issue in anybody’s life? What is it that we must have in order to be truly fulfilled?

    Have you noticed that many things in life do not seem to change? For example, in our text, God delivered the Children of Israel from Egypt. But once they were delivered from Pharaoh, he changed his mind and decided to pursue after them and to bring them back.

    When the Israelites saw them in pursuit, the Bible says, “…They were sore afraid…” In that fear they turned to Moses and said something that was very disturbing. We read, “…And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore ...read more

    The Blessing of Staying in God’s House

    (Psa. 84:1-12) "Blessed are they that dwell in thy house..." The word "Blessed" in the Bible means "contentment, happiness, fulfillment!"

I noticed I’m not smiling which goes along with my thug-life, tough-guy image. This picture reminded me of an alarm system my ...read more
