As you can imagine, it was a little crowded on that rocking horse with the two of them on it. 2. After a few minutes rocking like that, the little boy said, “If one of us would get ...read more

    Whether you're married or not married, this is hopefully going to enlighten you to what marriage and relationship is all about to a higher level.

    How many of you all are married? Woo-woo. How many, how many of you all don't respond to this please. Look to the person next to you and say don't raise your hand. But how many of you are oh I'm married (boring sounding)? Ah how many of you are not married? I've been set free! Ah whether ...read more

    The Love Of A Father

    The love of the father in the story of the Prodigal Son reminds us of God's extravagant love for us

    “The Love of a Father” Luke 15:11-32 The Prodigal Son is possibly the most familiar story in all of Scripture. It at least ranks in the top five. Why is that? Could it be because it is such good news for us? The story is told from all different perspectives but I want to concentrate on ...read more

    We may not see God in His own Person, but where there is love, there is the evidence that someone has been born of the Spirit of God.

    GOD IS LOVE. 1 John 4:7-21. Every Sunday as I was growing up in Scotland, I would hear the minister of our church repeat these words from the beginning of 1 John 4:7 - “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God.” This is one of the tests of true Christianity. We cannot claim to have ...read more
