    The Tower Of Babel

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Aug 26, 2003
    based on 84 ratings
     | 17,913 views

    The Tower of Babel is a life parable telling of the dangers of the Spirit of the Age - Poverty of Spirituality and Pride of Life - and the chaos it brings which only Christ’s redemption can right.

    The story of the Tower of Babel is a sad description of breakdown of fellowship, growing isolation and confusion. It all results from human beings’ failing to live in dependence on God, becoming proud of their achievements and determined to be the source of their own security. That was the root ...read more

    The Parable Of The Wedding Garment Series

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Jul 29, 2003
    based on 53 ratings
     | 12,603 views

    A personal account of a Garden Party at Buckingham Palace illustrating Jesus’ parable of the Wedding Garment.

    My message is a reflection on the combination of a parable (Matt 22:1-14) and a rather special visit to Buckingham Palace which I trust will act as an illustration. When I partially retired I was asked to take on the task of the honorary treasurer of Welfare Service Charity. I found it quite ...read more

    Riding The Waves Of Life

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Apr 20, 2003
    based on 51 ratings
     | 9,918 views

    The stilling of the storm on Galilee is a parable demonstrating that life is a roller-coaster experience but with Jesus in command allis well, requiring us to repond in faith.

    RIDING THE WAVES OF LIFE I once heard a minister use a memorable phrase in his prayer and it stays with me: it was "our short and uncertain earthly life and pilgrimage". Life is uncertain. This is true for the Christian as well, as we don’t live in some magic or charmed circle just because we’re ...read more

    The Secret Of True Happiness

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Apr 20, 2003
    based on 168 ratings
     | 31,824 views

    The psalmist uses the contrasting illustrations of a tree and chaff to share the Secret of True Happiness, telling us what it is, where it’s to be found and why we need it.

    THE SECRET OF TRUE HAPPINESS If the mythical man or woman in the street was asked what he or she longed for most, I expect the answer, in many cases, would be “happiness”. Jesus had something to say about this in His great Sermon on the Mount when He said: “happy”: "Blessed are ... the poor in ...read more

    Dirty Rags

    based on 54 ratings
     | 5,148 views

    "All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags! (Isa 64:6).

    Do you have chores to do at home, you know, jobs to help in the house? When I was busy at work in the office, I didn’t have too much spare time but when I retired my wife soon found me some jobs. I had to take a crash course in cleaning the silver. The trouble with silver is that it soon gets ...read more

    Bethlehem - House Of Bread

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Dec 1, 2002
    based on 77 ratings
     | 4,716 views

    "Bethlehem" means "house of bread", reminding us that Jesus is the Bread of Life.

    BETHLEHEM - THE HOUSE OF BREAD One of my favourite carols is "O little town of Bethlehem". Do you know what happened there? It’s where Jesus was born - a town not far from Jerusalem. And do you know what "Bethlehem" means? It’s "the house of bread". Jesus was born in Bethlehem - in a stable. ...read more

    Passport To Heaven

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Nov 11, 2002
    based on 74 ratings
     | 18,330 views

    A passport and a visa are vital documents in travelling on Earth but so is the need for a "passport" to heaven.

    PASSPORT TO HEAVEN A passport is a very important document if you want to travel from one country to another. It’s a command from one country’s government to the country you want to visit, to allow you to enter its territory and look after you while you are there. It’s almost impossible to enter ...read more

    New Year - Fresh Start

    based on 108 ratings
     | 6,167 views

    The Roman god Janus - a man with two faces - has given the first month of the year the name of January, from whom we can learn much - see picture

    JANUS A few days ago we entered a New Year. Who can tell me the name of the month that starts the year? January. Do you know how it got its name? It comes from the Roman god, Janus. Look at his picture. Isn’t it strange - he’s got two faces! He’s looking both forward and backwards - at the ...read more

    Christ Is The Sure Anchor Of The Believer

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Nov 7, 2002
    based on 91 ratings
     | 10,896 views

    The story of a ship in danger of drifting in a storm but kept safe by its anchor when it fastened to an immoveable object. A Parable of the believer’s security in Christ.

    CHRIST IS THE SURE ANCHOR OF THE BELIEVER Our harbour isn’t big enough to take the cruise liners that visit our Island. They have to stay out in the channel, half a mile from the harbour mouth. We may wonder if they’re secure from drifting when their great engines are no longer turning, when the ...read more

    Don't Be Like The Chameleon

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Nov 6, 2002
    based on 51 ratings
     | 10,162 views

    The chameleon is an unclean creature. Christians should avoid its characteristic of changing opinions to suite our environment.

    THE CHAMELEON When the new nation of Israel was getting ready to go into the land that God had promised them, their leader, Moses, gave them instructions on how they should live as God’s people. God wanted them to prosper, but for this to happen, they had to avoid certain animals that could harm ...read more

    Festival Of Lights For Jews And Christians

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Nov 6, 2002
    based on 54 ratings
     | 3,502 views

    Christians celebrate a Festival of Lights at Christmas and the Jews have Hanukkah, both pictures of the Spirit of God shining out in a dark world - see picture of Menorah.

    FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS FOR JEWS AND CHRISTIANS This Christmas the lights in town and on houses have been better than ever. I expect you had Advent candles in church to remind you of the Christmas festival. But it’s not only Christians who celebrate with lights - the Jews do so as well. I’ve got ...read more

     | 3,367 views

    Everyone is priceless and unique in god’s sight - see story and picture of the Mona Lisa.

    PRICELESS AND UNIQUE I’ve got something priceless and unique to show you. What do you think it is? The Mona Lisa. This is one of the world’s famous art treasures. It’s hung in the Paris art museum, the Louvre. It’s so famous it’s got a room to itself, with special lighting and security guards. ...read more

    Leaning Tower Of Pisa

    based on 60 ratings
     | 4,362 views

    Jesus urges us to build our lives on the solid foundation of trust and faith in him - see story and picture of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

    LEANING TOWER OF PISA Every year thousands of tourists go to a city in Italy called Pisa to see the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy. I went to see it some years ago but couldn’t get close because it was in a dangerous condition as it could topple over at any time. That’s why it’s a famous ...read more

    Saints With Broken Haloes

    based on 55 ratings
     | 2,787 views

    All Christians are ’saints’ but with broken haloes; God wants to restore and shine through us - see the story of Winchester Cathedral window.

    CALLED TO BE SAINTS Many years ago the bishops in England thought that there were so many good people to remember, that one day should be set apart commemorate all who had lived Godly lives, and so November 1st was designated as "All Saints Day". When St Paul wrote his letter to the Christians ...read more
