     | 54,552 views

    Keep your eyes open for opportunities in your everyday life to share the gospel with people, to offer them living water, so they too can worship God in spirit and in truth.

    Well, I’m sure you’ve all heard a sermon on the woman at the well a number of times. I think I’ve probably preached on it here at least twice before, so what I want to do today is not to look at all the features of the story, but just two or three important things that come out that might be ...read more

    Practice Makes Perfect

    Your personal best requires that you take on the mindset of an athlete. An athlete runs to win. They exercise disciplines for the win when the door opens for opportunity. They sacrifice for what they believe in.

    Everyone has heard the phrase “Practice makes perfect” or at least I think they have. It’s such an old adage, I’m not sure if anyone knows who said it first. Regardless of who coined the phrase, the Bible is full of wisdom concerning this very notion of practice and results. ...read more

    Die To Live

    Jesus publically announces his upcoming death. He uses the opportunity to explain what his death will produce along with highlighting the same principle for his followers in dying to self.

    DIE TO LIVE John 12:20-36 1) Looking for Jesus (20-22). Interesting-the religious leaders wanted nothing to do with Jesus. They were going out of their way to get him out of the way. But here we see some foreigners going out of their way to get close to Jesus. These Greeks were willing to go to ...read more

     | 3,851 views

    Our attitude as children of God must centre on a life that is lived in him. In return for his sacrifice we need to make good use of the opportunities Christ sends our way.

    The scene in Mark 8:27-38 is the climax of the first half of Mark’s Gospel. This first half focuses on miracles and gradually reveals Jesus as the Messiah.
