ABOVE ALL

“The one who comes from above is above all; the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks as one from the earth. The one who comes from Heaven is above all.” 

(John 3:31)

When Jesus came on earth, God Almighty came on earth. He did not come from dust; that is why He did not go back to dust. He came from Heaven and He went back to Heaven. That is why He rose from the dead.

Although He was born in a manger and grew to be a man, He was from above and He came to show us a Kingdom from above, the Kingdom of Heaven.

 

We believe the Bible is true because of the life of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ Himself believed the Scriptures. He quoted them as being the absolute Words of God. He proved the Scriptures. He taught them. He lived by them and He made them work.

 

As we celebrate Christ’s birth this festive season, let us thank God for Jesus’ Words that are Spirit and life.  For as He said in Matthew 24:35, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.”  

 

GOD FIRST

18 April 2024

“Let’s take a lesson from David who was ready to be humiliated in his own eyes, so that God could be honoured. Ask yourself: Where does honouring God appear in your list of priorities? Do you thank Him for all that He has done in your life, all the way long? While men look at the outside, God looks at the motives of the heart. Instead of worrying about the opinion of others concerning you, let the motive of your heart each day be to honour God before yourself.”

THE SACRIFICE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

6 April 2024

“There is no time to do what is right. We must set our heart to obey the Word of God, all the time. God’s kind of lifestyle calls us to do what is right in the sight of God at all times, even though it is contrary to what we naturally want to do. Choosing to do what is right is a great test to the flesh.

What is the sacrifice of righteousness? Choosing to do God’s will rather than our own. When our flesh says hate, God says love. It takes sacrificial love to love your enemy and to pray for them. These are the weapons of righteousness. This is the sacrifice that Jesus looks at and rewards. Even though that might not be a grand, or outward sacrifice, it is what Jesus values.”

LIFE ANEW

1 April 2024

“When we talk of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, we are talking of the rare opportunity He has given to all believers to experience a new beginning – a situation in which every dead area of our lives receives life anew.

We are dead to our past and alive to our future. Sin’s power over us is broken and we now put on Christ’s new life: we live in Him, move in Him and have our being in Him. Herein lies the significance of resurrection.”
