Far From Home

Your Grace And Mercy
In this day and age, many people are filled with worry about their future. They live stressed out, wondering, “What’s going to happen if I lose my job?”, “how am I going to handle it if my loved one doesn’t make it?”, or even “my parents are getting older, how can I take care of […]

Victory Over Worry
I meet people daily who worry about everything. They worry about the kids, finances, job and even their health. Is there something that you are worrying about today? To worry means to allow something to revolve in your mind over and over again. God doesn’t want you to live worried or anxious about anything. He […]
Set Your Hope
Talking to some youth this weekend, amidst the optimism, there also seems to be a lot of hopelessness. It’s time to set our hope so we are not easily swayed by the trials of life. Setting our hope on God, means we set our lives in the right direction. One translation of today’s verse says, […]

During this pandemic and periods of lockdown, one thing that God has done for us is that He has given us more ministry opportunities. Reaching out to neighbours, friends, and the vulnerable.

I Will Be With You In The Storm
Storms in life are real and unexpected. Maybe a loved one let you down. Maybe you’ve lost your job. Maybe a colleague stabbed you in the back. Maybe you’ve had a terminal health diagnosis.

How To Wait On God
In this new year God has placed dreams and desires in our hearts. However there is always a season of waiting involved. You could be waiting for a relationship to improve, waiting on marriage, waiting for a job, or waiting to overcome an illness. A high percentage of life is spent waiting. However, there’s a […]

It may be something about their personality or looks, maybe they’ve been through an unfair situation: a divorce, loss of a job, or […]
