After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, … More The three kings have come and are coming..
Consider the First coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the herald and message the Lord sent to prepare His way…..John the Baptist.

There are many myths in the church, and perhaps one of the most prevalent is the one that limits “Christian” service to the support of the church alone, and the lack of recognition of the ministry for God’s kingdom we all have when we serve our Lord where He places us…in school, government, business, home, … More Of the increase of His Kingdom there is no end
(A first Christmas today) Looking on the events of the day, and those unfolding, the scene would not seem so remarkable if you did not stop and listen. Travelling along the road is a ‘tradie’ with his heavily pregnant wife…we presume. His ute has seen better days, but seems reliable enough, I mean it still … More Christmas Travels
It seems many are surprised by the outcomes of the USA Presidential elections, and the results also for Congress and the Senate.
