Who's your Father ?

Most people today would claim to be God’s children, or somehow part of God’s universal family. Jesus, however, taught that there are two spiritual families in the world, and showed us three marks of being in God’s family

Light and Freedom

It's difficult, discouraging and dangerous to have little or no physical sight. But it is equally, if not more difficult, discouraging and dangerous to have little to no spiritual sight. But it doesn't have to be that way. There is a way to see reality as it really is, to…

How to deal with guilt

A huge part of life is people fleeing from guilt. The way people deal with guilt is a massive feature of human behaviour. They are either amusing themselves to death, trying to turn the music up so loud that they can’t hear the accusation anymore. There is only one who…

The Flight From Truth

Why did God not make Himself so obvious that no one could flee from the truth? Why didn't God write His name in the stars every night? Why didn't He make every human being born with a tiny tattoo that says, “made with love by the God of Israel”. The…

Christmas and the Problem of Evil

Christmas is not meant to be a time of escapism from evil. It is not meant to be a kind of pretend game. Christmas is the dawn of the defeat of evil. It is the beginning of the end of suffering and pain. It is the beginning of the tide…

Devotion and Discernment

Many people think they can find the truth purely through fact-collecting. But Jesus teaches that devotion comes before discernment, that truth is a fruit, not a root, of being rightly related to God. Before we can know rightly, we must love rightly.

Real Life from Real Food

“It is too easy to live a carnal, earth-centred life with no concern for eternity. Jesus had to confront a crowd that wanted nothing except food, and show them that real life comes from real faith in the real Messiah.”

The real reason why people don’t believe

“Many think that belief in God and the gospel depends on reasons and evidence. Jesus, however, shows that in spite of five irrefutable lines of evidence, people still rejected Him. He then exposes the real heart of why people don’t believe.”

Equality, Unity and Distinction in God

Does the Trinity really matter? Or is it a complicated, theoretical teaching with no practical benefit? When Jesus taught in John 5, He explained that the very meaning of “God” is at stake if we do not understand the ideas of the tri-une God.

The working Word

Many people spend their lives in passivity, waiting for life to happen to them. The lame man healed by the pool of Bethesda illustrates how we should respond to the voice of God, instead of wasting our lives merely waiting for life to happen to us.

True Worship

The worship wars rage around us? What is true worship? Fortunately Jesus taught us with three indisputable principles in John 4:21-24

Why doesn’t God dazzle us with unmistakable miracles?

Why doesn’t God dazzle us with sky-writing and unmistakable miracles? Why does God tend to speak softly, and expect us to trust His Word, rather than signs? We see the answer in how Jesus healed a nobleman’s son in John 4

How could a good God allow so much evil in the world?

“When defending the Christian faith, Christians are often asked, “How could a good God allow so much evil in the world?” How should Christians answer the problem of evil? In this programme, we consider ten weak or incomplete answers to the problem of evil.”

Apologetics - Resurrection of Christ

Christianity rises and falls on one historical event: the resurrection of Jesus Christ. If this event did not take place, then Christianity cannot be true. If it did take place, it must be true, and its exclusive claims are also true.

Apologetics 5 - God's Existence

Should we try to prove God’s existence? Or should we assume God’s existence and see what follows? Christians that debate non-believers should understand the pros and cons of trying to prove God’s existence to others
