In the nineth chapter of the Book of Joshua (verses below), Joshua and the assembly leaders of Israel get themselves into a big pickle.

This clip comes from ‘The Passion’ movie. It’s poetic license at it’s best as Jesus has ‘crushed the head of the serpent’ at and through the cross, not here at Gethsemene (and not a real snake). However, for me at least, it is a powerful visual of what Jesus’ death and resurrection has achieved in [...]

Would it be possible you are not ‘stepping up to the plate’, to be everything God intended you to be, because you have some warped idea of what humility is? Let me try and explain. Humility in the Bible is often mentioned in the context of repentance and being a servant of the Lord. It [...]

This is kind of powerful – The Reason by Hoobastank with clips from The Passion. (Warning – very graphic) Isa 53:1-11 (Prophecy dated at 700BC) 1 Who has believed our message?

Have you ever really considered the challenge and the freedom of this verse? James 5:17-18 17 Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. 18 Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and [...]

Here is a basic and essential truth that each one of us needs to ALWAYS hold on to with all of our being… “GOD IS GOOD!” Since the beginning of time, Satan and his cohorts and this corrupt and broken world have relentlessly and tirelessly tried to get mankind to believe the lie that “God [...]

Galation 5:1 says this; It is for FREEDOM that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. [Gal 5:1] What an amazing truth! Why has Christ set us free? The answer is right here in this verse; “It is for freedom that [...]

“Conception is the physical manifestation of the person that God already knows” There is debate in the secular community as to when a baby is acknowledged as a human and having human ‘rights’ rather than being a foetus or a piece of tissue that can be discarded. I suggest, from God’s point of view, looking [...]

Why Do Good People Die? “I will go to him one day” 2 Sam 12:13-23 13 Then David confessed to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.” Nathan replied, “Yes, but the Lord has forgiven you, and you won’t die for this sin. 14 Nevertheless, because you have shown utter contempt for the Lord by [...]

Have you ever wondered, if God knows the end of the story, why does He choose to create all of us? Here is an example of what I mean – the people of Noah’s day. Gen 6:5-8 5 The LORD saw how great man’s wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of [...]
