    Paul understood he could not accomplish the task before him without total submission unto God. God’s gifts are for the body and we need His help. I Cor.12:31 tells us to earnestly covet them!

    Ushering in His Excellence pt.2 Text: I Corinthians 2:1-5 Paul could have spoken with his great oratorical skills and drawn some attention to himself; he sure had the resume’ to do it. But he had determined that there was One in whom he served that had the ability to give the ...read more

    This is an interesting gift that the Lord has given to me which I sometimes call, " Heat At The Interface". It usually works during prayer for people.

    On October 29, 2002 we were having a prayer meeting in my flat/ apartment. At that time I could feel heat emitting from my right hand when I placed it about 1 inch from someone’ s body. When I did this with a certain lady called J she fell backwards on to a sofa, started to yawn and cry out. The ...read more

     | 15,360 views

    Finding your place in the body of Christ is made difficult by the very nature of the spiritual gifts. People with upfront or flamboyant kinds of ministries can make the rest of us feel insignificant, like we are not contributing or maybe just aren't a par

    As humans we like two things: to impress and be impressive. That was one of the main problems the Corinthians faced in many areas including spiritual gifts. The more flamboyant the gift, the more impressive the show of the Spirit, the better. So in chapters 12 through 14 Paul corrects this ...read more

    God’s promises are received by faith, not by our efforts; grace, not performance, secures our acceptance and hope in Christ.

    Some of us walked in today with lists—mental ledgers of what we did right and where we fell short. We carry them like heavy backpacks. We whisper, “Maybe if I try harder, God will be pleased.” And our hearts grow tired, tight, and tentative. Then we come to Romans 4 and hear a fresh breeze blow ...read more

    In today's lesson we learn that, because of its enduring quality, love is God's greatest gift. It contrast to love's permanence, spiritual gifts are temporary, partial, and elementary.

     | 17,496 views

    Jesus told this parable to remind us that what we have is not ours. God has given us gifts and they are what we can handle. We must invest and use them. A day of accountability will come.

    1 Peter 4:10: “Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms.” It is not too difficult to identify the talents we have. • Some are good at music, some good at drawing, cooking, writing… • After a short period of time, ...read more

    Treating others with gentleness begins with understanding that God uses gentleness with us, and then moves to our being gentle with ourselves. Gentleness does shape the behavior of others.

    Why is it that some situations cause us to lose our tempers? Why do we sometimes lose all sense of reason and just get angry all over? Why is it that when we are trying to get someone else to do what we want them to do, we can barely control our rage? A few weeks ago I introduced you to our new ...read more
