Strength from the Lord
Hi Friends, Our faith is not to be limited to attending an hour service on Sundays. Rather you are called to be a disciple who has surrendered every day of your entire life to following hard after the Lord. As we walk with the Lord His Word instructs us to, “Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.” (Eph 6:10-11) We are to be strong not in our flesh or human strength rather we […]
Abiding in Christ
“I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.” John 15:5 Often times our Christianity becomes all about doing the right things: be loving, forgiving, have integrity, or don’t gossip. Obviously there is a place for these but before we ever DO the right thing for God we must first BE right with God. Religion tells us what we need to do but the Bible declares what God has already done for us. And so before you ever set out […]
Sowing the Gospel
The Christian life is a road marked with great difficulties and sharing our faith is one such challenge for everyone. Even mentioning evangelism or witnessing makes us nervous and uneasy.

First of all it is critical we have the […]
When is it too late?
Jesus said, “Remove the stone.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to Him, “Lord, by this time there will be a stench, for he has been dead four days.” Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?” When He had said these things, He cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth.” The man who had died came forth. John 11:39-44 Jesus has risen from the grave and I am reminded of how our Lord is a God of resurrection power. He is able to […]
The Wonderful Cross
“I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live but Christ lives in me; and th elife which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.” Galatians 2:20 For many months now the Holy Spirit has placed a single message upon my heart. It is the message of the “cross”. I have been asking the Lord to unpack this incredible message and reveal all of its glory to me. God by His grace has only just begun to give […]
