With the world still facing trouble and strife from the Covid-19 virus, have you made decisions that are irrational and desperate by their nature? Would you have made these decisions if under different circumstances?

As we live this side of heaven, suffering and trials will always be a part of our experience. James doesn't want us to be oblivious to that truth.

In modern-day life we are sometimes so focused on the here and now that we forget about the future. All too often we enter into a false sense of security and confidence due to the Greed within us that focuses our attention on our possessions. But this possession, although a gift from God, is only for the here and now, as no person ever took their worldly belongings with them when they passed away....

What does the Gospel of Luke teaches us about Identity and Greed? We learn of a Rich man, master to his wealth and status, caring not for the poor, but enriching himself. On the flip side of the coin, we learn of a man living in poverty, with no belongings nor food, called Lazarus. One has established his Kingdom based on the Master that is money, the other known to God, (Lazarus) having received...

The good news are about how Jesus perfectly fulfilled the law, living in complete obedience to God the father, a submission to God's will even to the point of death, a death on the cross for us all. There is no other demonstration of ultimate love in the universe than this act of sacrifice. James wants to remind us that the highest violation of this act would be to respond by treating others with...

Join us as we learn about Restored Friendships and what God says.

How we speak, how we live and how we service will always be an indication of who we are listening to or who we are reading, especially in the midst of our trials.

Listening to the word of God, this will leave us more joyful, meek and outward focus, loving others as Christ loved us.

Are we safe, is my family safe, what can I be doing for protection? With enough enforcement from Social Media, fear gripped the nation of South Africa (Riots and Looting Gripped South Africa in July 2021) and turned fear to panic.
