    There are "Iron man" competitions of men & women. Only the toughest win. A recent movie captures the fighting spirit of a protector of mankind. But the ultimate "Ironman" is Jesus Christ, who faced the colossal specter of the cross, sin & death & overcame

    Worship Jesus Only

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,311 views

    When the opinion of men supersedes the opinion of God, we are focusing too much on people; and there are believers who unknowingly worship people. But the only one whom we should be seeking to please and worship is Jesus.

    John once shared the account of some people who had denied Christ for fear of what the Pharisees would think. In John 12:42-43, He said, “Many believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; for they loved the praise of men more ...read more

     | 6,455 views

    We continue to explore what "Putting on the New Man" entails. We, as children and imitators of God, should walk in love. But that gets complicated as we encounter sin in our lives.

    Over the Last few weeks and through the next couple of weeks, we have been looking at our lives in Christ. What does it look like? How are we support to act? Much of the new Testament, especially the writings of Paul, John and Peter, deal with the process of sanctification – the process of ...read more

    In some ways Isaac is a picture of Christ. As you read, think about what Isaac has in common with Christ. In other ways Isaac represents us as sinners. What does Isaac have in common with every sinner?


    Genesis 22:1-19 Verse 1 …God tempted Abraham and said to him, “Abraham.” Abraham said, “Here I am.” “Tempt” means to test, try, prove 1 Corinthians 10:13 (KJV) There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ...read more

    Tithing For Believers - Under Grace Or Law?

    Contributed by Graham Kettle on Feb 25, 2024
     | 1,144 views

    Tithing can be a much misunderstood and often much abused subject as I have seen from so many televangelists. What is Biblical, New Testament tithing? An obligation under the Law or an act of grace? For me Scripture is clear. See if you agree.

    TITHING FOR BELIEVERS - UNDER GRACE OR LAW? One favourite text for promoting tithing is: Luke 6:38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to ...read more

    Cancer protection Text: 2 Tim 2:15-17 Here we see the use of gangrene as an illustration for the destruction of faith. This is a medical allegory.

    Because of our terrible lostness, God had to go outside the human race to provide a solution to the universal problem of sin. He needed a lot more than image; someone unaffected by the world’s sinful value system, someone who trusted God perfectly.
