Living A Humbled Life (Palm Sunday) Version 2

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 22, 2021

When we become Christians, hopefully, we come to the realization of our own vanity when we realize how the world really does not revolve around us! The day will come when every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.

The Immortality Of Personality Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

Salvation is not complete unless the whole person is saved. Sin is what made the body a hindrance to the spirit. Sin is what led to the body's decay and death. If Jesus died to restore all that sin has robbed us of, then that has to include the body.

\ F.W. Boreham, the great Australian preacher, made a fascinating discovery in the book of Job. Job, as you recall, was very wealthy, but in the first chapter he is totally wiped out. All of his livestock and all of his children perish is disaster. When we get to the last chapter, and the battle ...read more

We Are Not Ignorant Of Satan’s Devices Or Schemes – Part 7 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 6, 2023

We live in a corrupt world. Truth has stumbled in the street, and uprightness cannot enter. Satan permeates right through society especially in the judiciary. There is little justice any more. We look at ways Christians are penalised by Satan’s system, but evil is promoted.

We need wisdom and reliance on the Lord for the battle we are engaged in. We will examine two more of these schemes. ...read more
