At the heart of all relational conflict is a failure to please God. This truth can redirect us to focus on what really matters; namely, pleasing God.

We all mess up. However, we serve a God who is gracious enough to welcome us back with open arms if we admit our errors and confess our sins.

There are many things that can cause us to experience discouragement. The devil loves to use discouragement against us. He would tell you that you cannot do that, you are not good enough, you will never get out of that situation, you can never break that habit, you can never go far so stop trying. You might not understand it but struggles led to victories and victories to testimonies that show the...

In view of the stricter judgment that awaits teachers, one should be sure they possess the maturity and self-control necessary to control the tongue. James then provides a series of illustrations to demonstrate the power and danger of the tongue, and how we can easily be inconsistent in our use of it.

Expectation makes you close your eyes to what is happening in your situation and open up to what is coming from God. Expectation is an attitude of those who have hope!

When you are struggling in your journey of faith we need to believe even when we don't see it, that is faith.

Being a believer in God does not make us immune to difficulties. We have to keep our faith despite trails, troubles and tribulations.

One day as Jesus was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew throwing a net into the water, for they fished for a living. Jesus called out to them, "Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!” And they left their nets at once and followed him."

The centurion's servant was healed and the widow of Nain's son was raised from the dead – this is a picture of salvation from death by grace through faith. Only Jesus can save us!

There are many examples in the bible of people who missed out on what God had for them. These are written down to serve as a lesson for us so that we would not fall into the same traps.

God has a plan for His church to be glorious! We are being build to be that church and we are to love the church as much as Christ loved the church but we are not there yet!

We all go through storms and difficult seasons. However, we need to know that even in those storms, we have been chosen by God and there is a purpose to our life.

When we put our faith in God, we have to expect that He will move on our behalf. However, we have to remove any limitations that hinder us from believing that God will do what He said He will do!

It will take courage and faith to stand to the end. We need to examine our faith level, because if our faith is weak we won’t be able to carry out God's plan which is winning souls. We are God's instruments on this earth but we can only carry out his purpose if we know what we believe, if we are part of his plan (the church) and if we have faith in him no matter what.

Abraham received a promise from God and was utterly and totally helpless to make it happen and as time went on could not see how God was going to make it happen. King David found himself totally helpless when faced with his own sin. We are also totally helpless when we come to have a relationship with God – we are all under the power of sin.

Jesus Christ is meant to be the centre of our lives. It’s all about Him. In the Church He’s going to use us to extend His Kingdom and the glory of God is going to be seen by the Church.

Without influence, you cannot be effective in all that God has called you to be and do! We are the church, and the church that Jesus had in mind is one that is not overcome by the world but rather it influences the world for Jesus.

In life we go through seasons of testing. We should not let tests affect us to the point of giving up on life or church but rather realise that it's only a test and when we go through the test, it proves that our faith is genuine.

We are in a race whether we like it or not. Each day, we need to ask ourselves, how is my race going?

It is human for us to have doubts. We have to understand that we are in a spiritual battle and that the problem of doubt is not purely an intellectual one. We have to know if our faith is real by determining the proper relationship between faith and reason.

There is a difference between a believer and a disciple. There is no such thing as an instant disciple; like the word, it takes discipline. In Luke 14, Jesus was getting closer and closer to the cross. People who wanted to see a miracle or get a free meal from Him were mobbing Him. The crowd was about to become much smaller because He started setting forth the cost of discipleship, and it was not...

The Life Jesus has been central to civilisation for hundreds of years. It’s evident in our songs, architecture, arts, movies, TV, books, inventions, sciences and even in education. He never travelled more than 200 miles from his hometown, yet no other individual has had such an impact on the world as Jesus has. So, who was this Jesus? Well, He was a Saviour, a friend and also the King!

If you were to be asked that question today by Jesus how would you answer? Serving others does not mean pretending that you don’t have issues in your life, serving others simply means trusting that God will make a way for you and whilst He’s doing that you are going to allow Him to use you to bring about a solution in someone else’s life.
