True  freedom can only be accomplished in love, the love of God and the love of others.

No matter how we have been treated in the past by other people, God sees us as persons of worth, deserving dignity.

Authenticity is being true to your Christian self. You are created by God who desires that you follow His truth.

Often things in our life break down and we need to turn to God admitting that we can't fix things ourselves.

We need to surrender the keys of our live to God, the divine mechanic, who is able to fix us and get us up and running again.

When the church acts as it is supposed to act it is the best expression of a loving, caring community you could ever find. The challenge to us is to work together to be that kind of church.

True love is much more than romantic love.

It is the kind of love which puts others first.

Daniel interprets king Nebuchadnezzar's dream and we are living in the time represented by the feet made of iron and clay.

Athaliah followed the evil example of her parents and even tried to wipe out all the descendants of David's line.

But since God had promised David that descendants would rule He protected  Athaliah's grandson Joash, until he was able to ascend to the throne. And under the guidance of Jehoiada he restored the worship of Yahweh.

Amaziah started well but was not wholehearted in his worship of God.

He stopped listening to God and became obsessed with his own selfish ambition which led to his downfall.

We too, are at risk losing our relationship with God if we think that we know better than He does.

We need a deep cleansing of hearts so that we can serve Him wholeheartedly and to know the joy of the salvation that God offers us through the Holy Spirit.

When Hezekiah was faced with a huge, bloodthirsty Assyrian army on his doorstep he turned to God for help.

And God supernaturally destroyed the invading army. We too, can receive God's help when we humbly turn to Him in a crisis.

The word 'Nazi' is still being used to describe someone who is cruel, evil, dominating and murderous.

Yet, even some of them will be in heaven because they genuinely repented before they were executed at Nuremberg.

And their last words were to admit their status as sinners and call on God's mercy.
