     | 16,573 views

    Althrough the Gospel of Mark and in this passage in John, those who interact with Jesus often misunderstand or mistake Him for something or someone he is not. Those at the "feeding of the 5000" thought this was the long expected king. (some "gospel" ph

     | 7,245 views

    Does God have first place in your life? Every day or just for a couple of hours on a Sunday? God is not an after thought. God is meant to be our focus, our purpose, our reason, the centre of our life.

There have been good stories and bad from the Olympics - has there been any specific stories or events that has caught your attention?

    What happened to Saul? He did his own thing, he loved self-glorification, he became even more prideful and he thought he was the ultimate King. (Wasn’t about God)

    The Art of Letting Go 1 Samuel 28:6-7,13-17NLT He asked the Lord what he should do, but the Lord refused to answer him, either by dreams or by sacred lots or by the prophets. 7 Saul then said to his advisers, “Find a woman who is a medium, so I can go and ask her what to ...read more

    The Will Of God, Coke And Honour. Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,167 views

    Have you ever thought I wonder what the will of God is for my life? It could be honouring (that’s New Zealand-English, not a spelling mistake) others so that they too will do the will of God. This is about a culture of honour.

    In this time in history the basic desires, the basic drives of the human being are pretty much the same as they have been for all of history. In John’s first letter of three which incidentally I’m working through a series on, we get this directive from this great Apostle, who walked along side ...read more

    The disciples woke Jesus with their loud cries and repeated calls for help. They said to him, “Master, master! Save us, we perish!” They thought they were lost, because there was no foreseeable escape. So they appealed to Christ, believing that He...

    No Tripping Allowed

    Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Sep 11, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 20,200 views

    Simple thought -- IF TRIPPING IS NOT ALLOWED IN FOOTBALL, a game where people are supposed to be knocking each other down, it CERTAINLY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED IN CHURCH, a place where people should be helping and holding one another other up.

    TITLE: NO TRIPPING ALLOWED SCRIPTURE: I CORINTHIANS 8:1-13 / ROMANS 14:1-12 Autumn is approaching and begins in just 12 days. With this change of seasons it also means there will be lots of football games on television. College football season has already begun, therefore; at least occasional ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 19,282 views

    In today's world, a well told story will be heard regardless of the content. Luke tells Paul's conversion story, giving us a framework in which to share ours. Consider these thoughts from Scott Jewell, our Family Minister.

    Read Acts 9:1-31. Pray. What is the most memorable sermon illustration you’ve ever heard? I’m pretty confident that the first thing that came to mind was a story. I’ll take it one step further- I’ll bet it was a personal story the preacher told on himself. If I’m wrong, you can collect an extra ...read more

    We are familiar with the words of the message of the angels to the shepherds read in church services or recited by children in Christmas programs. But how many of us have ever thought about the depth and riches of truth revealed in the angels’ message?

    When our suffering life connects with our prayer life – it sends a cry out to the heavenly realms which God hears. Some thoughts about suffering and where it fits in to our temporary lives on this earth.

    Longing for Something Better Romans 8:18-28 18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 19 The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. 20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its ...read more

    This devotional is based around Hebrews 13:8. It talks about a Savior who never changes. Some of the thoughts on this devotional were taken off a sermon I heard preached by Pastor H.B.Charles Jnr.

    Jesus Christ Never Changes Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever". (Hebrews 13:8) This is one of the most powerful verses in the scriptures and one that almost every Christian knows by memory!

    We are told to have salt in us. Salt was used in the ancient world, and occasionally today, to preserve meat from corruption. So if we have spiritual salt, we will be preserved against that kind of corrupt thought and behavior.
