The Word of God, the Bible is within the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ to be the “final voice of authority” in all matters. I hope we can agree with that. If not, then some soul searching is required. In light of His Voice being the “Final Authority” and our subject matter today – Gods Man and His Work of Preparation – the opinion that God in His Word provides for us is of the utmost importance.

TODAY
The old Beatles song lyrics say “Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away now it looks as though they’re here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday. Suddenly I’m not half the man I used to be There’s a shadow hangin’ over me. Oh, yesterday came suddenly”
These words typify the experience of many as they awake in the morning – Perhaps even this very morning for some.
The Workers Commission
It is of importance for all of us today to recognise that the foundation of everything that is done, in the Lord’s Name and for Him is built upon the basis of Relationship. Relationship, Yes! With one another, but more importantly, relationship with the Lord Himself. Relationship is the first and foremost qualification for service, and relationship is not gained by Church attendance. It’s not found in the continual pressures of doing Good Works. It’s not obtained, by the giving of one’s finances. It is simply through Birth.
You and Your Church
The Christian walk and pathway is one that is fraught with many difficulties and problems, and simply because we know, Jesus Christ as our Saviour does not remove us from these things. In fact, the contrary is often true, hence the Bible typifies the roadway upon which the Christian travels as a “narrow road” but with the wonderful promise about it, being that it leads on unto eternal life.
He Makes All Things New
We live in a (Covid-19 Virus) environment, it’s becoming the “new normal” and in this post-pandemic world many are left with fears, questions, and anxiety.
The toll taken on lives by the virus throughout the world medically and economically is enormous but there is a “new virus” that has infected in an even greater measure. The virus of anxiety and worry.
No Other Name
Scripture: – “Acts 4: 8 to 10“ Text: – “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” – “Acts 4:12“ We are living in a day and generation in which Men and Women are looking for a solution to […]
The Eagles Flight Academy
There are at least seven stages that a young eagle goes through when learning to fly. These stages are also evident in God’s “training” us to live the life of faith.
Caleb a Man of a Different Spirit – Burmese Translation
I must tell you today that when reading the Scripture, the words – “He has a different spirit” or as the King James puts it “He has another spirit in him” – “Numbers 14:24” jumped off the page and grabbed me by the throat. I had never seen the line before let alone recognised how important and foundational it was.
It was so impacting that it drove me to my knees and began to encompass my waking moments and has had an on-going effect upon my journey with the Lord.
I hope that in some manner I can captivate you with it also and that it might truly infect your soul with what it conveys.
I want to centre your attention in this time together on a Bible character called Caleb but before I do let me remind you that there have been many Biblical Men and Women of Faith.
Growing in Christ & The Fruit of the Spirit – Part 2
Despite the world-wide interest in the ministry of the Spirit, which is characteristic of the times through which we are passing, there are still some who regard the Third Person of the Trinity as relatively unimportant. Had the early disciples tried to bypass Pentecost, it is doubtful whether we would have heard of them again; they would have exhausted themselves trying to cope with their problems.
Growing in Christ & The Fruit of the Spirit – Part 1
In todays church generation it very obvious that “Basic Fundamental Doctrinal Biblical Teaching” has taken second place to – encouraging homilies, get rich or get well schemes plus corporate messages designed to “please the crowd, maintain numbers. Accompanied by pep talks and motivational discourses aimed at keeping everybody happy and offending none.”. The unfortunate side effect of that is the increase in our Christian Brothers and Sisters requiring ever increasing counselling and pastoral support. We are called upon as the Body of Christ to be “versed in the Scriptures”.
