    Give Us Today The Food That We Need

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Nov 11, 2012
     | 3,876 views

    A short talk from a series on the Lord's Prayer at our evening service. To pray, "Give us today our daily bread" is to recognise that God is the giver. It may also require us to be part of the answer to other people's prayers as per James 2:15-16.

    The Lord’s Prayer is the model for prayer taught by Jesus. It is the skeleton, the frame, upon which we build when we pray. Yes, we can and do pray it word for word, but if we think the Lord’s Prayer is like a fixed recipe, or worse, if we think this model prayer is like a spell, or ...read more

     | 3,152 views

    This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

    Note: When doing a study on a book in the Bible you use a lot of resources. The major influence for me on this study of Genesis is The Genesis Record by Henry Morris. Genesis 20 1. And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and ...read more
