    It’s foolish to put our confidence in what we own, or in what we look like, or in the people we love. All these good things only spring from the Lord God, the overflowing fountain. And none of these things can save or redeem, for God alone is the First and the Last.

    One of my favourite Bible stories is in 1 Kings 18. That’s the chapter where God has a showdown with Baal, a dramatic contest on the top of Mount Carmel. You remember how Elijah challenges the prophets of Baal to a competition. ‘Come up the mountain,’ he said. ‘Bring two oxen for sacrifice, wood to ...read more

    Easter is not about us. Easter is not about our new Easter clothes. Easter is about hope. Easter is knowing that death on this earth is not the end of life. Your soul, your spirit, was created by God to live forever. Includes a quote from Mel Gibson's Pasion of the Christ.

    How to be great in the kingdom of God. The last become first - we become less, so Jesus becomes greater, we become great because of Jesus authority. Practical, clear, concise.

    Without a doubt, the best known representation of the Last Supper is Leonardo da Vinci’s painting: “The Last Supper.” It represents the exact moment that Jesus said, “One of you will betray me.” It shows the effect of that word, “betray” upon the twelve men most closely associated with Jesus during ...read more
