2018-10-14 Grace in boldness and confidence
Rev. Elize Goddess
Our friend Job and his life bring many faithful people to a crossroad or dead-end in the conversation about understanding the suffering of people. One of the questions I hear most often and am expected to explain is “Why does God allow this?” In the case of Job we saw last week that it happened […]
2018-10-07 Good morning Mr Job
Rev. Elize Goddess
*John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”(NIV) These were words which Job never had the privilege of reading or hearing are words speaking hope and assurance into our lives. Do we […]
2018-09-23 The Body of Christ on earth – Here to serve in Wisdom
Rev. Elize Goddess
We live in a time where self-centeredness is often displayed or visible in society. Mainly because that is the way and the message of the world we live in. So much so that any one of us could give a few names of people they experience as extremely self-centered and selfish. In the Proverbs reading […]
2018-09-16 The Body of Christ on earth– Evangelism our responsibility and heartbeat!
Rev. Elize Goddess
So many people are against Evangelism and it is unfortunately such a sad result of what has been done wrong in the past under the name of Evangelism that the community outside of the church is completely against it and actually see evangelism as very arrogant and judgmental. Leaving many, even Christians, with the opinion […]
2018-09-09 The Body of Christ – God change lives
Rev. Elize Goddess
One of the most important things that we as the Body of Christ need to remember is the fact that God change lives. This happens more often than what we acknowledge and again is nothing new to our time. Right through the Bible we often read about God’s interaction and communication with His people with […]
2018-09-02 The Great Reversal – Blessed are the Poor
Rev. Elize Goddess
As in so many of the Kingdom principals, today we are dealing with one that is the opposite of what the world try to tell us. Jesus is very clear in His teaching that we as Church has a duty towards the poor. There is no option in it but we turn it upside down […]
2018-08-26 The Gospel in Society
Rev. Elize Goddess
Our reading from Acts refresh our minds about the start of the early church that was persecuted and up against a lot of challenges. When we are realistic about our own time it might be time that we acknowledge that although we are living thousands of years later in completely different times, the church and […]
2018-08-19 The Church
Rev. Elize Goddess
We start today with a new series on The Body of Christ, The Church and it is a topic that I have not dealt with here before or dealt with it in this way. But let’s start and see if we can determine to some extent how many “Years of Church experience” we have among […]
2018-08-12 Transformations
Rev. Elize Goddess
When I was reading through the lectionary readings of this week I sensed that Jesus is saying “It is time to talk”. Very similar to when we experience some strain in a relationship and we say “It is time to talk.” In that there is proof that the relationship is important; it is saying you […]
2018-08-05 Deeper Issues than Bread
Rev. Elize Goddess
What bring your frustration to its maximum height? For me it is when all the electronic devices needs software upgrades. Suddenly the applications and the programs that always worked perfectly, start to slow down or some of the functions just stop working all together. At times it is busy with an upgrade without even mentioning […]
