    Say "No" to "What's in it for Me?"

    Philippians 2:1-2 ESV “So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.” If there is any encouragement...

    1 Peter 3:8-9 ESV “Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing.” Unity of Mind For Christians...

    The Way That He Loves

    Summary Colossians 3:1-11 We, as followers of Jesus Christ, are to set our minds on things above, on the things of God, and not on things that are of this earth. And we are to put to death what is earthly (worldly, fleshly) in us – such things as sexual immorality, impurity, sinful passion...

    Unthinkable Compassion

    Luke Chapter 6: 27 “But to you who are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies! Do good to those who hate you. 28 Bless those who curse you.

    The Word of Christ in You

    Summary Colossians 3:1-11 We, as followers of Jesus, are to set our minds on things of the kingdom of heaven not on things of this earth, and not of our flesh. For we have died with Christ to sin and our lives are now hidden with Christ in God. Jesus is now our life, not the things of this...

    Strive to Enter that Rest

    Hebrews 4:11-13 ESV “Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience. For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the...

    Compassion from the hurting

    I was reading Matthew 14 for a sermon coming up. Jesus having been rejected by the ruling authorities of his day, both religious and political goes to a solitary place to pray. Then he is confronted by a crowd of ordinary, poor common folk and he has compassion on them healing their sick and...

    God Forgives You!

    Isn't it amazing how God speaks to us in our devotional time, often in the scripture we read. Today I read this; "For the Lord our God is gracious and compassionate, and will not turn His face away from you if you return to Him." 2 Chronicles 30:9b Wow! What a verse, which was...

    Merciful and Gracious

    Will Sars-Cov-2 end institutionalised compassion

    With nearly 3 million recorded cases and 200,000 deaths the current Pandemic has shut down life as we knew it just a few months ago. The response of our countries has been a massively expensive quarantine designed to protect those most at risk. These are overwhelmingly old, sick or fat people...

    Seek the Welfare

    Jeremiah 29:7 ESV “But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.” Where does the Lord have you in this life? Where has he placed you? He has a reason for you to be there. He has something...

    Love for One Another

    1 John 3:11 ESV “For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.” How should we love one another? With the love of Christ. And, how did Christ love us? He literally gave his life up for us to deliver us out of our slavery to sin so that we...

    All That is Within Me

    Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and...

    Beggar & Good Samaritan

    My wife and I cried as we watched this short video. The video (link below) illustrates how the world can see the love of Christ in action and shows how it can make a difference. This is how we preach the gospel. Not with our words (most people have heard them already), but through our actions of...

    Turning the other cheek vs actively doing something

    I know scripture says we are to turn the other cheek when wronged but how many times are we to turn it when being abused/wrong by the same person over and over taking pleasure in it making your life difficult? Will God actually do anything about it? Or am I just to accept this abuse for as long...

    A greater expression of the remainder of Creation, than an exertion of Evolution?

    Hi there, So yes, Jesus said "Gather up the fragments that remain, that none be lost" (paraphrase) - this applies to Evolution too: it's possible to have a greater expression of the remainder of Creation, than an exertion of the better of Evolution. This is because Evolution precipitates...

    Love and Kindness

    Colossians 3:1-4 ESV If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ...
