The key is this: God wants us to be spiritually strong and has provided us … Continue reading From seedlings to trees
PRAYER AND ACTION GO HAND-IN-HAND?
We are not in control - God is! Trust in Him. Drop to your knees and pray! Get closer to Him. Hear His voice. Then follow His instructions! I lift my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?

The Gospel of John – Do not be driven by selfishness
This section of scripture uncovers the true motivation of the crowd following Jesus: selfishness. This passage is part of a long dialogue where Christ clarifies the meaning of His miracles. Jesus has just explained that He, Himself, is the ''Bread of Life'' which people are meant to seek. In response, the people complain amongst themselves. … Continue reading The Gospel of John – Do not be driven by selfishness
The Gospel of John – I Am the Bread of Life
As we continue through Chapter 6 of the Gospel of John, we find that the people are still showing more interest in the spectacle of Jesus miraculous works rather than the message and meaning intended in His works.

The Gospel of John – Supernatural Overflow
This is the only miracle recorded in all four Gospel accounts (Matthew 14:13-21; Mark 6:30-44; Luke 9:10-17; John 6:1-15), which shows it is very significant to Jesus' mission and so we won’t forget how much the Lord can do with the little things that are given to Him. The feeding of the 5 000 comes … Continue reading The Gospel of John – Supernatural Overflow
The Gospel of John – Testimonies about Jesus
Jesus continues his response to His critics in Jerusalem. Up to now, Jesus has healed a crippled man on the Sabbath and He has claimed to be equal with God in works, love, judgment and honour. Now, Jesus speaks about the evidence to His claims. Jesus does not just say: "Have faith" or "believe it … Continue reading The Gospel of John – Testimonies about Jesus
Daily Prayer – 15 June
In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of … Continue reading Daily Prayer – 15 June
#3 Lies Christians Believe
Maybe God isn’t who you think He is. He’s much better. This series will help you identify some Christian clichés we’ve all heard somewhere before but they are actually un-biblical lies. These clichés although innocent, are harmful to our faith and they keep far too many believers stuck in spiritual immaturity. Let’s replace these clichés … Continue reading #3 Lies Christians Believe
