  • No Stopping the Word

    (Acts 13:4-12) The Lord will have the word of the gospel delivered to those who wish to hear it. All obstacles to the preaching of the word will be removed.

    (John 17:22-26) I have been married for thirty eight years to the woman who for me was, still is and always will be “The One.” I cannot begin to describe how much she means to me and how much she is a part of me. The closeness we share is built on mutual trust, respect,…

  • Jesus Prayed For You

    (John 17:20-21) One of the last things the Lord did before He left this earth was to pray for the church, and more than that Jesus prayed for you. As He prayed for His people he gave us many insights into the relationship He had with the Father, and for us, the relationship between Him,…

  • Parables and the Love of the Father

    (John 16:25-28) Jesus is speaking here of His imminent departure from the world. He is telling His disciples that He is soon to be sacrificed and will leave this world.

  • How to Love Jesus

    (John 14:18-24) Many Christians say that they love the Lord and that they love Jesus, but often they are talking from emotion. The love they describe is based on feelings.

  • A New Commandment

    (John 13:31-35) At the time of the last supper Jesus spoke to the disciples saying that He would give them a new commandment.

  • Do You Know How to Set Your Moral GPS?

    (Luke 12:57-59) For years we have heard about there needing to be a moral compass in people’s lives. Well I guess in this high tech age we live in, we need to update that and set a “Moral GPS.” Most people know what a GPS is (or a compass) as it helps to guide and…

  • The Good Samaritan

    (Luke 10:29-37) Yesterday we saw that the Lord showed there is eternal life in keeping the law. A lawyer came to Jesus asking how to inherit eternal life and Jesus told him if he kept the two great laws, to love God and to love your neighbour, you would inherit life. But there is a…

  • Vengeance is Mine, or is it?

    (Luke 9:51-56) Do you ever feel like taking revenge when someone does something against you? Do you ever feel angered or hateful against someone who does not believe as you do or even opposes what you believe? Let me give you an example. Last week I attended a conference and for one session I sat…

  • Feeding the Multitude

    (Luke 9:10-17) OK, Jesus created matter from nothing! I’m not going to get into the science of this, (because I don’t have a clue how he did it), but it is evident from this section of scripture that Jesus did exactly this. For hundreds of years alchemists have tried to transform matter such as base…
