Indispensable: Church
By Brad Quiring on September 16, 2018
Jesus is the builder and head of The Church as well as our local churches around the world throughout history. Church is a family and a place. It is where we belong, welcome one another, learn about God together, and meet one another's needs. The Church is also the instrument in God's hands to proclaim the gospel to the entire...

Elisha: God’s Power Prophet: Dive In
By Brad Quiring on August 26, 2018
Many of Elisha’s miracles were done by him directly. God used Elisha’s words and touch to reveal His divine power. In the case of a foreign army commander afflicted with leprosy, Elisha didn’t even bother to meet him, he just sent him down to the muddy Jordan river and told him to dive in…seven times. Wouldnâ€...

The Song of the Soul Set Free
By Bill Ehlers on July 22, 2018
There is a healthy guilt. The guilt that stings your conscience when you have done something wrong and caused pain. God intends us to feel guilty when we sin. God also provided the way to be cleansed from our sins and to have our guilt taken away, not just in the legal sense, but also in our personal feelings. Jesus...
Elisha: God’s Power Prophet: Baldness, Bad Boys and Bears
By Brad Quiring on July 15, 2018
In one of the most controversial stories of the Bible, one might accuse Elisha of overreacting out of his vanity. But, look at the whole story and you’ll see a deep-rooted disrespect not for Elisha, but for God and His Gospel. The whole nation of Israel was a moral and ethical disaster, and the time for a cleanup had...
Elisha: God’s Power Prophet: Productive
By Brad Quiring on July 8, 2018
The land, like life, can be unproductive. In fact, under certain conditions, death is the only outcome. The people of Jericho and surrounding area were in the midst of a water crisis. Their water was unsafe for consumption and agricultural production. God used Elisha not only to rescue them, but we see a greater lesson unfolding of God taking that...
Elisha: God’s Power Prophet: Double Spirit
By Brad Quiring on July 1, 2018
God’s plan for Elisha was revealed in Elijah’s darkest moment. God was correcting the course of Israel and his plan included a new prophet to speak to both kings and citizens. When Elisha was named as the new spokesman for God, he had a simple but deep request of his mentor: “Let me inherit a double portion of...
Be Refreshed
By Brad Quiring on June 24, 2018
Isaiah 55; We look to summer as a time for refreshment and renewal, especially after a long, hard winter and the work that accompanies it. Many head out on holidays and some work places experience a slowdown in action, while others face a big jump in activity. Nevertheless, we in Manitoba see summer as a time to refresh. Our refreshment comes...
Ignite!: Reinforcement
By Brad Quiring on June 17, 2018
Acts 14:21-28. After Paul, Barnabas and their team completed their tour of Asia Minor, they returned to all the places they had been and reinforced the churches: praying with, teaching, warning and encouraging them. They established leadership teams and helped strengthen the work that had begun. God has called us to reinforce our churches with prayer, the Word of God...

Highest Honour: Honouring Purity
By Brad Quiring on May 27, 2018
Marriage is to be held in highest honour by everyone, whether they are married or not. Before marriage, God expects and helps us to be sexually pure and to honour one another in love.

Highest Honour: Honouring the Love
By Brad Quiring on May 20, 2018
Love stands out in most people's minds when they think of marriage. The image is usually rose-coloured romanticism but not real love. Romantic love definitely has its place in marriage, but the real love that God commands reflects the attitude of Jesus Christ. Marriage is the place where the husband and wife exercise true agape love for one another, sacrificially...
Highest Honour: Honouring One Another
By Brad Quiring on May 13, 2018
God created marriage for two to become one. A man and a woman, two distinct people, both created in the image of God, brought together by God to become one. From the beginning, God said it was not good for man to be alone, so he worked his creation miracle to ensure that "alone" was not part of his original...

By Brad Quiring on May 6, 2018
Marriage was established by God for His Glory and to illustrate to the world his relationship with his people. He shows how he works and how believers should work with him in His Church and use that as the model for how husbands and wives work together in their marriage relationship.
