The Financial Crisis

In this very strange time of panic in the financial sector of the whole world, we want to point you to "The Rock" on which your life can be based. A foundation which will NEVER be affected by the FTSE or global markets or any other factor that currently could be causing unrest or even fear in your heart.

"The Rock" that we speak of is our Lord Jesus Christ. In the Bible when Simon Peter, one of the disciples, answered the Lord's question as to who people said He was - replied: "You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God". Jesus replied "On this Rock I will build my church." 1

On this absolute truth - that Jesus is, was and ever will be The Son of The Almighty and that He came to this earth to walk among ordinary people and show God's love but primarily to lay down His life as payment to God for the sins of each one of us - on this truth our present and future can be safely founded.

The events at Calvary's cross were always God's plan - don't think for a moment that Jesus was overtaken by events. He said "No man takes my life from me, I lay it down of myself and will take it again"2 Jesus rose from the dead, proving to us that God Almighty had accepted His sacrifice.

Simple, childlike faith in what Jesus has done for YOU and an admission by you to God that you cannot do anything about the problem of your sin yourself, will result in your future being secure with God in heaven regardless of what happens here. You can then begin to "Lay up treasure in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is there will your heart be also."3

If you truly ask God to open your eyes and heart to His truth you will find that the verse that says "A man's life does not consist of the things that he possesses"4 will be true of you.
