Wanted: Treasure Transporters!
Have you ever been outside a bank when an armored van draws up? You know the type: constructed of thick steel, with small bullet-proof windows. And out jump two muscle-bound guys wearing helmets and thick bullet-proof jackets, with scary-looking guns and batons in their belts. One of them will probably be carrying a locked metal case, maybe chained to his body. You know that inside the case is something extremely valuable. Well, did you know that IBC is in a similar line of business?

A Thousand Questions
Francoise Thonet wishes to share the following video, which was produced for the 2008 Willow Creek Leadership Summit. It is a powerful combination of images, music, and content that chronicles a young filmmaker’s journey through questioning God and eventually submitting to His call to minister to the lost world. We have also added some questions that you might like to think about, either individually or in your youth group, homegroup, Bible study group, family etc.
Ladies Bible Study re-starts with “Invincible Love, Invisible War”
The Ladies Bible Study reconvenes on Thursday 19 January with a dynamic seven-week study called “Invincible Love, Invisible War”. It unravels the threads of the invisible war we all face and the victory available through God’s invincible love.
It answers questions such as: If God loves me, why is life such a battle? Is there ever an end to the war? This DVD-driven study presents God’s Biblical plan to win your personal battles. Each teaching session, based on one of six divisions of Scripture, teaches us about our war against sin and about Jesus, the Ultimate Warrior. The study also provides tools to enable you to stand firm in the face of temptation, loss, guilt, fear, and confusion.
Here’s a short video clip to give you a taster.
“What is man, that you are mindful of him?”
“O LORD, how manifold are your works! In wisdom you have made them all.” (Psalm 104:24). From the icy Arctic to Africa’s dense jungles – and the mountain tops of Mongolia to the deep waters of the Pacific – the BBC series Human Planet has explored mankind’s incredible relationship with nature. Accompanying the film crews was photographer Timothy Allen. His stunning still images captured unique glimpses of people living in the world’s most extreme environments. This slideshow is therefore an inspiring view of the wonders of this world and its human inhabitants.
