Bible Study: Faith Does it!


God’s blood cleansed all sin for all mankind

But only those who apply that blood by faith, believing–
make it work in their own lives.

Devotions: An Agreement in Blood



In the New Testament, Jesus’ sacrifice of His own life blood blotted out our sins forever.

However like the blood on the door posts this has to be ‘made to work’ by our faith.

Then Jesus blood cancels out our sins and provides a hedge of protection from the effects of being in a sin dominated world.

Sunday School: The Agreement by Blood


In the O. T. this sacrifice covered over sins and allowed people to make a fresh start.

When Moses was about to lead a whole nation out of slavery in Egypt to return to the promised land, they put blood of a sacrificed lamb on their door posts. This showed they trusted God to protect them from death. God did.

Devotions: The Dark Story


The ’dark’ story ~~~~
It happened in a new area with lots of Australian bush.
Sally was walking towards the valley at night fall. It became dark very quickly and there was an eeriness that was frightening. Sally prayed!

Then there was a firm pressure against her leg and looking down there was a friendly dog gazing at her. It was good to have company, even if it was a dog. She felt safe, somehow. The walk along the track into the darkness was not so scary with the dog’s warm body. Then unexpectedly they came into the light. The dog moved a little. When Sally looked down ~ suddenly it was gone.
Sally knew it was God’s answer to her prayer.

Bible Study: Your Heart Toward God


How is your heart towards God?
Sometimes our attitude towards God is cooperative, soft as melted butter in the sunlight. At other times our heart is as hard and stiff as cheese left in the same sun.
Butter and cheese almost the same but a very different reaction.

Are you hard in your heat towards God like dried up old cheese? Or
are you soft, pliable and ready for God to change you into the champion He has planned?

From Being Answered


It has to do with what’s going on in our mind
Some things are

Kids Club:If you ask...


One evening mother was serving out dinner for the family

Mother: Don’t ask questions while I’m serving out the dinner. I can’t concentrate.

Son: If you ask anything in Jesus name, it will be done for you. Mum, notice it says, ‘If, you remain in me and if, my words remain in you’. It all depends on the little word, ‘if’.

[The boy was telling his mother about a Bible verse John 15:7 that says
“If you remain in me and My words remain in you, then you will ask for anything you wish and you shall have it”]

Devotions:Jesus said.....


Jesus even said, “Use my name.”
Have you noticed that if you have a letter signed by a parent or a school teacher it gives you authority to do what that person says you can do.

That person has said you may use their name to have what the message says.
Jesus did that too. He said, “I am telling you the truth; the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.”
John 16:23b

Living life to please ourselves is the hard way to live.

It's hard work pushing your row boat across the sand into the water.

Once the boat is in sufficient water it floats and movement is easy.
So it is when we let the Holy Spirit guide us;
The Holy Spirit represents Jesus and makes everything easier when we do it his way.

Bible Study:Burden Bearing


Often when we try to please God we do things He didn’t want us to do. We didn’t find out what God thinks about our wonderful plan.

When we do ‘God things’ it’s often to show how good we are. This usually leaves us tired and low in energy and enthusiasm.

The hard work is like pushing your row boat across the sand into the water.
