Summary We look at how the Vine’s roots serve as an Anchor. Jesus, being the (one and only) True Vine can therefore serve as our Anchor (if we choose to Anchor ourselves in Him). It’s up to us to trust in Him in order for us not to be carried away by the strong currents…
Summary Continuing the focus on our relationship with our Lord Jesus, we begin to look at the very first verse of John 15. The True Vine that Christ is. In subsequent programs we shall be looking to see what it takes to be the branch that is connected to Him, in order for the all-important…
Summary Two verses are the focus of today’s program – Matthew chapter 6, verses 22 and 23. Jesus is speaking about our eyes as the lamp of our bodies. What we look at determines if our conscience is cleansed by the Light of Jesus, or is shrouded in a dense darkness of guilt and condemnation…

Summary A child comes home to his or her parents, their clothes full of mud as they were playing with friends in the world. The door of the family’s home is wide open, never closed to those seeking rescue. The loving parents, so pleased to see their child made it home, love on their child…
