     | 4,047 views

    I used to think the phrase, Kingdom of God, meant only some future time, but I have come to understand that it means the Christian experience under the Lordship of Christ.

    I wonder what you think of when you read or hear the phrase, “Kingdom Of God?” Perhaps you think of some future time, when there will be perfect peace and no problems, when the ferocious beasts of the forest can be led around by little children. That’s what I used to think it meant, but I have ...read more

    A message that takes a look at the prodigal son parable from the perspective of the other son.

    (This message was preached at a United Service with Anglican’s & URC from our town - including my old College Principal!)

    We need reminders to wait on God, to hope in Him. When we do, our strength will be renewed. By our own resources we will never achieve satisfaction or serenity. Trust in God produces confident expectations and a meaningful life.

    In a Peanuts cartoon, Charlie Brown has a moment of reflection after losing a baseball game: “When I am down and out, I lift up my head and shout, ‘I’M DOWN AND OUT’!” People without God, who see life as a cosmic accident, have no Higher Power when life hurts. W ...read more

    Isaiah made it clear on behalf of God that his thoughts are way differant to ours and his ways are much higher than ours, so why would we limit God?

    Isaiah 55: 8-11 This passage talks of a future servant who would save God's people as they returned from exile and followed him. An interesting time of the year, welcome to 2011, well I guess that many of you welcomed the New Year in yesterday. Many of you would have probably have made one of ...read more

    Making Your Life Fertile For The Seeds Of Miracles

    Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Dec 26, 2025
     | 113 views

    Miracles are seeds before they are manifestations. Every prayer spoken over your life carries potential. The tragedy is not unanswered prayer. The tragedy is unfertile hearts. God is asking not whether you desire miracles, but whether you are ready to carry them.

    MAKING YOUR LIFE FERTILE FOR THE SEEDS OF MIRACLES INTRODUCTION God works by principles, and one of the most powerful principles in Scripture is the principle of the seed and the soil. Miracles do not grow in barren ground. Divine intervention responds to divine order. Many people desire ...read more

    If you could use a single word to define Jesus what would it be? Love comes to mind, maybe forgiving, merciful, kind? How about the Word “grace”?
