The tower of Babel teaches many valuable life lessons: -Seeking our own glory will distract us from seeking God and his purposes. -Godless empires and enterprises rise - but then they fall. -Find your significance in God, not in achievements. -Our pride will be our downfall. -When we humble ourselves, God lifts us up. -Rather build your life on God's words and ways. Ephesians 2:1-2, Genesis 4:17, Genesis 6:13, Genesis 9:1, Genesis 11:1-9, Zephaniah 3:9, Acts 2:6, Revelation 21:10, 24-26, Revelation 7:9, James 4.10…

Unbelief stands in the way of what God wants to do - in the lives of his people and through his people. Faith pleases God. It doesn't have to be "big", because God is the object of our faith - and he is big enough! Sound Bible teaching builds up faith. God's words can always be trusted; he will fulfil them! When we put God's word into practice, things change! But we need to trust God's perfect timing, not doubting when we don't see immediate fulfilment. Mark 6:5-6, Hebrews 11:6, Luke 17:3-6, Mark 11:22-23, Jeremiah 1:12, Romans 10:17, James 1:22, Romans 4:18-21…
When Jesus said "if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed", he wasn't overstating our freedom! We have been set free: -from the grip of sin -from the grip of the devil -from condemnation -to approach God with confidence -to leave our past behind and live a glorious new life. WE ARE FREE INDEED!! John 8:31-36, Romans 6:18, Colossians 1:13, 2 Corinthians 4:4, Romans 8:1-3, 1 John 2:1-2, Hebrews 10:19-22, Matthew 27:50-51, 2 Corinthians 3:18, Galatians 5:1…
We are not under the law of the Old Covenant, but have a relationship with Jesus under the New Covenant. Instead of offering animal sacrifices, we are to offer ourselves to God, as a living sacrifice. Gratitude and thanksgiving please Jesus - and bring peace into our lives. Know that God is working in all things for our good! Let's consistently testify and give praise to God for everything that he has done! Leviticus 21:16-24, Hebrews 8:10-12, Romans 12:1, Philippians 4:4-7, Hebrews 13:8, John 10:28-29, 2 Corinthians 4:17, Romans 8:28, Isaiah 29:13, Luke 17:11-18…

Jesus invites us to join the most privileged people on earth - the people who are on God's mission with him. But before we say "yes", we need to: -make it an informed decision: to follow Jesus knowing that it will be difficult at times. -surrender our selfish agendas and follow Jesus as our Lord (master). -renounce all other masters, knowing that we can only follow one. We are not saying "Yes, but..." We are saying "Yes, Lord"! Luke 9:57-62, John 15:18-20, Luke 14:25-27, John 10:10, Hebrews 12:2, 2 Corinthians 4:17…

God has good plans for his people. But he works his plans his way - with light and with order. God's light enables us to see his order and to bring things into that order. God can bring order at many levels: personal, church, community & nation. We can all embrace his order personally & contribute to the order of the other levels. When we embrace God's light and order, we open the way to more of his wonderful plans for us! Genesis 1:1-2, 1 Corinthians 14:33, Genesis 1:3-4, Acts 9:3-18, 1 Corinthians 14:40, Titus 1:5, Ephesians 4:14-16, Genesis 1:26-27…

Like many heroes of the Bible, we may also experience some dark, difficult days. In those times, we should not be afraid to pour out our hearts to God in lament, knowing that: - He is GOD - His ways are BETTER - He is GOOD - He SEES us - He UNDERSTANDS us - NOTHING is impossible for him - He WORKS GOOD in all things - He will lift you up in his perfect time. Psalm 22, Job 42:3, Isaiah 55:8-9, James 1:17, Luke 12:6-7, Matthew 6:8, Hebrews 4:14-16, 2 Corinthians 1:8-11, Romans 8:28, 1 Peter 5:6-7, Psalm 40:1-3…
The Bible and history teach us that seemingly insignificant people can have a great impact. We need to realise this so that we step forward in faith; if we think we are insignificant, we won't. God knows every one of us and has a plan for us. He prepares us and develops us so that we can do what he has planned. This journey can be hard, but it is worth it. The devil and human critics may tell us that we are useless or insignificant; we need to choose to believe God. Beware comparison; you do not have to be someone else to do what God has called you to do. This is not possible because of our power, but because of the Holy Spirit working in us. Psalm 139:1, Jeremiah 1:5, John 1:48, Genesis 50:20, Judges 6:12, Psalm 139:14 2 Corinthians 4:7, Acts 1:8…

Difficult circumstances can undermine our faith and cause doubt. But, irrespective what we may go through, the name of Jesus has power over: - sickness and disease - sin - demonic Influence - even death! As we get to know Jesus - and live in obedience to him - we will experience more of the power of his name to heal, forgive, deliver and give eternal life. John 14:6, John 8:12, John 11:25, Matthew 15:30, Mark 1:30-31, Matthew 9:6, Ephesians 1:7, 1 John 1:9, Acts 10: 38, 1 Thessalonians 4:16, 1 Corinthians 15:55-57, 1 Chronicles 28:9, Acts 19:13-16, James 4:7-8…
God gives us dreams and visions and puts godly desires into our hearts. We need to walk towards those goals, step by step. God's path for us to walk into our destiny is often not the obvious one or the easiest one! He uses difficulties and detours to prepare us and equip us for what is to come. A clear vision, shared with people we trust, helps us to keep on taking the next step when the route is hard, or takes a surprising turn. Proverbs 16:9, Exodus 13:17-18, Genesis 37:9-10, Habakkuk 2:2…

We were created by God, on purpose, with purpose! He has put us in the right place at the right time for his perfect purposes! While he may have some specific purposes for you, he definitely has some general purposes that apply to us all. Two of these purposes are: -be salt and light where God has put us -make disciples. We are salt and light to our communities when we add life and provide a godly example to others as we follow Jesus' example. And when we provide an example of what it looks like to follow Jesus, others can follow our example - we can be disciple makers! Ephesians 2:10, Acts 17:26-27, Matthew 25:23, Matthew 5:13-16, Acts 2:47, Matthew 28:19-20, 1 Corinthians 11:1…
In terms of the sheer scale of the universe, we are SO tiny! We may conclude that we are insignificant. Yet the Bible teaches us that: - We are God's work of art, made to reflect his image! - We were made on purpose and with purpose! We should therefore - seek to discover our purposes - seek to fulfil our purposes - reveal the love and glory of God as we do so! Psalm 8:3-6, Genesis 1:26-27, John 3:16, Psalm 139:14, Ephesians 2:10…

If we want this new year to be different - for the better - then we will need to make some changes. This is why we make resolutions. These four resolutions based on Jesus' words will definitely bring changes for the better: God helping me, I will: -love God with all that I am -love the people around me -love other disciples like Jesus does -help others find and follow Jesus Matthew 22:34-40, 1 Chronicles 28:9, Philippians 2:13, Matthew 6:24, Matthew 7:12, John 13:34-35, John 15:12-13, Matthew 28:18-20…
Our conscience is a great gift from God, keeping us on good terms with God and with people. Yet it can be corrupted; then we lose our sense of right and wrong, our "moral compass". Fortunately, it can be cleansed and restored by the work of the blood of Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the Scriptures. We should therefore pay attention to the state of our conscience, asking God to cleanse it, correct it and lead us into his ways through it. Titus 1:15-16, Hebrews 9:14, 1 Timothy 1:8-9, Romans 2:13-15, 1 Corinthians 8:7, 2 Corinthians 1:12, Romans 9:1, Acts 24:16…

The message of Christmas is GOOD NEWS of GREAT JOY for ALL PEOPLE! The good news is that the promised Saviour and King has come to deliver us from the dominion of darkness! Great joy is what Jesus brings - forgiveness of sins, reconciliation with God, adoption as God's children and an eternal home with him! And this is for ALL people - whoever you are, wherever you are, however you were brought up, whatever you have done! Luke 2:8-12, Colossians 1:13-14, John 10:10, John 15:11, Romans 4:7-8, Philippians 1:25, John 3:16, Revelation 7:9-10…
