    This is week two of 40 Days of Purpose using a survivor theme.

    A Ukulele, a songbook, a Frisbee, a toothbrush, a deck of playing cards, a guitar, bongo drums and a bible. Kind of a strange collection, but they all have one thing in common. They were luxury items that contestants from early episodes of survivor were allowed to take with them into the ...read more

    The reason submission is so important for a wife is because of this key: The wife who willingly submits to her husband’s leadership glorifies God.

    “Sweet Surrender” Let me sum up the perfect picture for marriage again: God wants each marriage to be a portrait of His love for His glory! Romans 11:36 “For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be all the glory forever.” Well, I knew today’s sermon was going to the hardest ...read more

    How The Church Must Live According To The Gospel Series

     | 4,700 views

    We’re to please God, not ourselves and we’re to love one another; to seek their welfare above our own. The Christian life is always one of growth, of ongoing training, as we press on towards the goal of eternal life.

    I think Christians often struggle with knowing how to respond to the pressures we feel to lower our standards of behaviour. And there are two extremes that we come across among Christians. One extreme thinks we should forget those old fashioned mores and get with the times: after all, this is a new ...read more
