Asking For Your Inheritance

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Mar 16, 2021

Our greatest treasure, the inheritance that we seek, isn’t down here: not in the stuff, not in the people, not in the honours. But seek God. Desire Him. Long for the one inheritance that is incorruptible, that is undefiled, and that does not fade away.

They say that children should never talk about their inheritance. Sure, one day Mom and Dad might leave something to the kids. But until that day, children shouldn’t worry about what they’ll receive, or daydream about how to spend it. We know what happened to the Prodigal Son, when he started ...read more

The Fall Series

Contributed by Tim Hbc on Oct 7, 2008

So often we ask the question WHY? Why is the world the way it is. Why does bad stuff happen, and happen to me? Genesis 3 is God’s answer to that question.

Introduction There are many questions we could ask. Such as... When you go to a cinema to watch a film, which arm rest is yours? And why do the ‘Alphabet Song’ and ‘Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star’ have the same tune?’ And why is it that if you blow on a dog’s face he goes crazy, but if you take him ...read more
