God Loves You And God Loves Me

Romans 5:8 — “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” What is the nature of God’s love? Who are are the recipients of God’s love? And how has God proved His love?  These are three vitally important questions and Pastor Brendan answers them for us…

We Must Pray

I Timothy 2:1, Ephesians 6:18 & Philippians 4:6-7 — Most of us live very busy lives and that means we can easily get distracted. We can wander away from the Lord and it can happen slowly and surreptitiously. It’s not so much a deliberate turning away from Christ, it’s just that our commitment slips or fades.…

II Corinthians 4:1 — “Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not…” What is the ministry that Paul talks about here? Was it something unique to the Apostles?
