    “for me to live is Christ. To die is gain” (Philippians 1). But for those who have no such relationship to Jesus, the end of the world is destruction of everything they hold dear. It is the end of all that matters. It is, truly, dreadful.

    Revelation 6:12 and I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a huge earthquake, and the sun became black like sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood, 13. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, like a fig tree throws off its figs when shaken by a powerful ...read more

    I Thirst

    Contributed by Ken Henson on Apr 17, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,044 views

    Water is a thematic element in the Gospel of John. Jesus baptised in it, turned it to wine, used it as a metaphor of life, used it to heal, walked on it, and washed His disciples feet with water. Yet on the cross He needed water, and He got none.

    I Thirst In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. The first order of creation, even before God proclaimed, “let there be light”, there ...read more

Every Friday night, until his death in 1973, he would return, walking slowly and slightly stooped with a large bucket of shrimp. The sea gulls would flock to this old man, ...read more

    The road which the Lord sets before us is not easy. It requires us to give up our selfish ambition, and to walk the path of service. Yet it is a route which leads to a crown of glory for ALL who follow Jesus.

    THE SERVICE OF CHRIST. Mark 10:32-45. The disciples of Jesus were amazed that Jesus had ‘steadfastly set His face to go to Jerusalem’ (Luke 9:51). They were beginning to have the clear apprehension that such a route would lead to their Master’s premature death, and that the promises of His ...read more

    On a silent night nearly 2000 years ago the cry of a newborn baby ushered in a new beginning for mankind. A saviour had arrived one who would set us free for all eternity. His cry is the one the whole world longs for but finds so very difficult to hear.

    Silent Night Matthew 1:18-2:12 Who is this Jesus and why has He come in this way? Why did God use this Jewish couple to reveal the Messiah to the world? If God wanted to save the world from sin why didn’t He make it big news? Why reveal His plan in such an ordinary understated ...read more
