This morning was a time of testimonies and sharing in Communion. Pastor Paul briefly shares some thoughts about the Lord's Table.

Being slow to hear, quick to speak, and quick to anger means that I am focussed on myself and my passionate impulses. James says that this attitude cannot achieve the righteousness of God. Let's aim to be gentle with His Word and rid ourselves of the filthiness of our sinful nature!

Miraculous food is provided for everyone! But not only that, twelve full baskets of leftovers too. At the end of this account, what we see is something more than just a physical need being met. We see the Saviour who has come to provide completely and to satisfy totally. He gives abundant life.

We don't know too much about what happens inside prisons, but most of us might not imagine there to be a lot of hymn-singing going on! Well, that's what happened with Paul and Silas. Even in the most difficult of circumstances, they praised God. Let's learn some lessons about praise from these brave men!

Every good thing and every perfect gift is from above, from God. We cannot do anything to earn it and we cannot do anything to make Him change His mind in giving it to us. He is consistently good and His goodness is consistent!

This is the only miracle (besides the Resurrection) that appears in all four gospels. In part 1, we cover the build-up right before Jesus's miraculous multiplication. It starts with a massive crowd in an isolated place, a testing question to Philip, and a quirky chirp from Andrew...

Today, we shall have a look at when believers were first called 'Christians'. Initially, this was a type of insult used against those who were followers of Christ. However, this insult did not stop those from living proper lives as befitting to their title!

We are all going to experience temptation because we all have a sinful nature. God allows us to be tempted, because He allows us to be alive! But we have the great assurance that if we persevere, we will receive the crown of life. The greater assurance is that it is He who helps us through and finds us approved!

King Herod has James killed and Peter imprisoned. Even though it was not an escape for James, it was an escape for Peter. However, the Church kept praying and trusting in God's will. Let's learn some lessons about prayer from this narrative!

When we depend on our material wealth during trials, we don't depend on the Lord. That's why the poor are exalted in Him and the rich are humbled in Him. There's nothing wrong with having things to help us get by, but these things cannot save us like Jesus can!
