Do You Listen From God?

Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Jan 16, 2026

Psalms 115:3-7 Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him. But their idols are silver and gold, made by human hands. ...read more

I Thirst

Contributed by Ken Henson on Apr 17, 2014

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
