Indispensable: Baptism
By Brad Quiring on October 28, 2018
Symbols mean something. It is good for us to know what they mean and how they apply to our lives. Baptism is a symbol. Baptism, in and of itself, is not special, but the truth it symbolizes is very powerful. It represents Jesus' work to save us from our sins. We proclaim Jesus through baptism.
Indispensable: Compassion
By Will Walker on October 21, 2018
God had compassion on us, so he sent Jesus to die for our sins and release us from the spiritual slavery and poverty of sin. Now, we must take the compassion we have received from God and give it to others so they can be released. Part of compassion is also meeting their physical and social needs. Abundant Life is...
Indispensable: Commission
By Randy Jaspers on October 14, 2018
To be IN a church without GOING out and proclaiming the Good News of Jesus means we're not really being The Church of Jesus Christ. Randy Jaspers, Regional Minister for the Manitoba Baptist Association, reminds us that to truly be followers of Christ, we need to proclaim salvation through Jesus to all the world
Indispensable: God
By Brad Quiring on October 7, 2018
Indispensable God. We need God. Period. Without God, we have no life, no blessings, no hope, no existence at all. God is real and he is the One who defines all things in this universe. So many us live as if we don't believe that we need God for everything. A refining of our faith will then manifest itself in...
Indispensable: Gospel
By Brad Quiring on September 30, 2018
We cannot be saved on our own. We need Jesus. How do we know this? We have a message: the Gospel, which means, literally, the Good News. We need this Good News in order to be saved from our sins and from God's punishment. We also need to proclaim this message to others.

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...
Indispensable: Bible
By Brad Quiring on September 9, 2018
There are certain elements of our lives which are indispensable. They are absolutely necessary for our spiritual and relationship life and health. This week the first "indispensable" is the Bible. In God's Word we find direction for life, satisfaction for life, and protection for life. Both the study and application of the Bible are indispensable for our lives and our...
Elisha: God’s Power Prophet: A Legacy of God’s Power
By Brad Quiring on September 2, 2018
In this life you want to be effective. The question is, will that effect die with you? The greatest legacy is the work and influence of God through your life. An influence that lasts long after your time on this earth is done. We have the stories of Elisha’s life to continue to teach and inspire us, but God...
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€...

A Walk with Jesus
By Lowell Ethier on August 12, 2018
How pleasant it would be to walk with Jesus, right? While our eternal future with Jesus is bright and pleasant, the journey there may be far from that.

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...
