Lead by an example by Corrie Ten Boom which you can Listen to short version here or Read the book titled 'The Hiding place' I hope you can forgive anyone, any place, starting with the person that cuts you off in the traffic or t...

You know there are many fine and godly Christians who find what Paul says in Romans 9 through 11 hard to swallow. The late RC Sproul had a sign on his desk as a teacher, ‘It is your duty to believe and teach what the Bible teaches, not what you would like to teach.’ As we work through these chapters we’ll get an answer to the question, "Can God's promises fail?" Together we’ll discov...

When read these questions, "If God is for us, who can be against us?" What is Paul expecting you to answer? "Nobody!" Correct He wants you to say, "Nobody!" "If God is for you, who can be against you? Who can bring a charge against you?" Nobody. But when you've read other parts of Paul’s writings and other scripture references,

‘Fruitful Holiness’ what is it and are you fruitful at this time or will you be fruitful? presented by Mr. Leighton Rowe 6pm on 25th of June 2023.

This encouragement belongs only to a select group of people. For whom is this encouragement intended? The only ones who can claim this comfort are believers. This providence isn’t generic. It's not for everyone. There is a restriction. There is an exclusiveness around this. One might even say it’s discriminatory. Paul is not talking about some universal principle. For whom He foreknew those he...

‘Evidence that Christ has risen’ presented by Rev Chris Duke 2023 06 18 pm

Sometimes we don’t know how and what to pray for but in our weakness Paul explains in Romans 8:26 that it is the Spirit that helps us, “For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groaning which cannot be uttered.” 
In v27 it tells us that the one who searches our hearts also knows the mind of the Spirit because he is interceding fo...

The reality that makes a person, truly able to participate, in the life of the covenant people of God, in a true washing, that brings you from exclusion to inclusion, from unclean to clean, is not an outward ritual, but is the baptism of the Spirit

Christ my sacrificial lamb

Even though we have new life in Christ, and we’ve become a new creation, and we’ve been adopted into the family of the Lord God Almighty, we suffer precisely because we are children of God. We live in a world that hates God

How do you know the Bible is God’s Word?

Jesus is the way No Other Way

Over 353 Prophetic instances have been fulfilled during Jesus life and crucifixion, some going back to the beginning of time. Genesis 3:15 KJV "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."

It’s not just the Father who loves you, it’s not just the Son who loves you, but the Holy Spirit loves you intensely, and He’s the one who leads you.
