“Ask, seek and knock!”
Jesus says in Matthew 7 :7, – “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” Today, we ask ourselves, “What obstructions are in the way in seeking God and what things are stopping us from continuing to ‘knock’ the door and keep […]
“Zeal for My house”
We see Jesus twice in His ministry, display a level of passion, zeal and determination like no other! This was in the temple at Jerusalem where in making a whip of cords, he drove out the animals, money changers and caused such ‘pandemonium!’ Why? The house of the Lord, the Temple was a place of […]
“My Soul thirsts for you”
In Psalm 42, we feel the heartfelt anguish of the writer for his desire for God. There is a thirst and longing of his soul for the presence of God. When there is no desire or hunger that means you are ‘satisfied.’ Are we ‘satisfied’ for the presence of God in our lives? Are we […]
Mercy and Grace at the vineyard
Continuing our look at the story in 1 Kings 21, we see Ahab going down and taking possession of the vineyard. It had been acquired by the hand of Jezebel and her unpleasant schemes! Naboth and sons were killed as a result but the Lord saw and dispatched the prophet Elijah with a message of […]
“For the 2nd time, – this vineyard is not for sale!”
Continuing our story of the Naboth’s vineyard in 1 Kings 21, we see that after the refusal to give up his vineyard, Naboth is subject to a devious scheme from Queen Jezebel to get it. Jezebel employs tactics to bring upon the destruction of Naboth and ultimately acquire the vineyard so King Ahab can grow […]
“This Vineyard is NOT FOR SALE!”
In the book of 1 Kings, chapter 21, we see King Ahab of Israel request the vineyard of Naboth the owner. Ahab offers an alternative larger vineyard or monies in exchange, but Naboth refuses and says, “The Lord forbids i sell this vineyard”. There was a difference between the two men: – one was a […]
Living in the Realm of the Spirit
Following Jesus as our Lord and Saviour in this world is not always easy and straightforward! We should ‘long’ to be with our Lord, to experience His presence to sustain us in this world whilst we wait for His return. This is the primary reason for the Holy Spirit! The Spirit dwells within believer’s, to […]
Walking out your Salvation
Salvation is truly a most significant word. What does it mean to be saved? Saved from what? By whom? In the book of Joshua chapter 6, we read about Jericho, a city facing judgement for all its sin, immorality, evil practices and more. But a woman named Rahab, a prostitute was saved along with her […]
New Altar Design!
This coming weekend we are pleased to unveil our new ‘Design Lettering’. Cut out of plywood and finished with ‘oak stain’ the new letters of ‘Jesus’ make a stunning feature to the altar! We pray the presence of the Lord by His Holy Spirit will continue to ‘bless the church’ as we lift up the […]
Living in God’s Presence
King David writes in Psalm 27, “one thing i desire is to seek the face of God”. There are 2 elements here that shows us what God is looking for in a worshipper. One is a ‘desire’ and the other is to ‘seek’ after Him!! The Lord wants His church to ‘desire’ and ‘seek’ him […]
