When God Interjects
When God Interjects Text: John 1:12-13 The great distinction in our world is not wealth, not skin colour, nor nationality… the great division in humanity is caused by the gospel of Jesus Christ. And this ought not to surprise us in light of what John has been declaring about the Son of God. You see, the difference in wealth is degrees. All have money, it’s just the…
The Proof of a Heart & Mind Ruled by True Love
The Proof of a Heart & Mind Ruled by True Love Text: Philippians 1:10-11 Often how we imagine a situation is entirely different to the reality, e.g. we often imagine that having more wealth would free us up to do more for God. That better health would enable us to do the same. We might also…
The Rejection of the Light
The Rejection of the Light Text: John 1:9-11 When we think of light, we usually think of it as either dark, or light, or some degree in between.

The romance soon turns into reality, and if there has been deliberate folly or rebellion on the part of a believer, there will be consequences to pay. I. THE CONDITION OF THE PROSPECT 1. The Evidence of Salvation It is not wise to be overly…
The Witness of the Light
The Witness of the Light Text: John 1:6-9 Let me once again remind you that the writer of this gospel, the beloved disciple John, is making a case for the identity of Christ, more so than the historicity of Christ. It’s not just the observations of a historian, he is trying to persuade us to believe in the Son of God. So his opening lines are essentially answering the…
True Christian Fellowship
True Christian Fellowship Text: Philippians 1:3-8 Learning to pray is one of the most important skills for the Christian. You say, well sure can’t any Christian pray? Yes, of course. While prayer doesn’t save us, without prayer we cannot be saved. But even thought all Christians may pray, we still need to learn to pray. Was this not what was recognised by the disciple who…
The Problem with Singleness
The Problem with Singleness Text: 1 Corinthians 7:1-9 Last week we addressed the position of singleness, a state which a lot of people find themselves in. Those who have never married, those who have been divorced, and those who are widows. The Will of God, Sovereignty of God, Purpose of God in Singleness, as well as a word to the People of God Serving Singles.…
