If you have made a decision to follow Christ, you are not adding Christ to your life, but rather you are giving your life to Christ. God wants us to reject the 'form' of godliness and to embrace by faith the power that God has provided to change us into the image of Christ. [Speaker: Barry]

Being holy is not a choice, it is what God calls us to be. If you dare to believe, then you dare to be holy. The heartbeat of the Christian is to abide in the words of Christ, and through this, He promises us freedom from all the sins that choke and bind us. [Speaker: Barry]

People will let you down, but the Lord will not. Jesus says you are my friends if you do what I command you. If we are faithful to the Lord and selfless towards one another, His friendship will transform, restore, rebuild and make us like Him so that we too can stick closer than a brother. [Speaker: Barry]

We are surrounded by many external pressures and the devil is constantly scheming to destroy us. But the true battle is from within. God is training and equipping us to first deal with the sin within us and to rule our own spirit, so that we can then win the battle with the challenges around us. [Speaker: Barry]

If we are to be ready for the Lord's return, the Bible calls us to be people of character, who know the importance of prayer, love fervently, who are hospitable to all who need to be cared for and are in the act of service with the ability that God supplies. [Speaker: Barry]

Jesus came the first time for the sins of many, and He is coming a second time to complete everything for salvation. The events of today are a timely reminder of His return. Are you ready?  [Speaker: Barry]

In all the pressures around us right now, God is calling the church to remain steadfast and faithful, knowing that God is able to bring all good things to pass and deliver us according to His perfect will. [Speaker: Barry]

God leads us in paths of righteousness when we walk humbly in the Spirit. Our whole existence, how we live and what we do, is all for His name's sake and comes back to the glory of God. [Speaker: Barry]

If you are in a dry and weary land, God promises to give you peace in green pasture. If your soul is damaged, he will heal and restore you. And when you need direction, He will lead you in the way you should go. [Speaker: Barry]

Psalm 23 illustrates how the Christian follows the voice of the one true Shepherd. Whatever we need in our lives, the Shepherd is faithful to provide. And we have confidence in God's promises that He will hold, carry and strengthen us. [Speaker: Barry]
