War & Grace: An Unhappy Ending

War & Grace: An Unhappy Ending

March 28th, 2010 (PM) - By: Matt Lillicrap

This is Jesus. Not gentle Jesus meek and mild. Not Jesus a good buddy to have in a tight spot, but King Jesus. He sits on a white horse. He’s dressed in white. He administers justice. He rules. This is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. This is a king who’s authority is not going to be questioned. This is a king who’s not going to let his people ignore him.

And that’s where we’re headed. Towards the return of this king. The one who’s authority we so easily forget or ignore. One day every knee will bow to this king, how much better then to stop doing what’s right in our own eyes, and bow willingly in joyful submission to his authority?

Because we know don’t we. The reason He came, the reason he died and the reason he rose is so that we could be free to do just that!

All of us need to keep watch on ourselves and examine our hearts before God because we can be so easily deceived, as the men of Dan were.

War & Grace: Revenge… Served Hot

February 21st, 2010 (PM) - By: Guest Preacher

‘Live and let live.’ I wonder how many of us were brought up on that very British philosophy? And applied to the right matters, it’s a good one – eg, matters of taste. I like coffee; if you don’t, let’s live and let live. But that philosophy fails if you try to make it the [...]
