Acknowledging God In The Harvest Festival
Contributed on Oct 5, 2024
Why MUST we celebrate harvest? What should we thank God for? When and how should we mark it. And what did David think about it?
Today is our harvest festival. It’s the time of year when we formally thank God for the harvest. I’d like to tell you a couple of little stories as a lead in to the subject of thanking God. The first story is about Christmas when I was a child. A pile of presents would build up under the ...read more

David The Warrior
Contributed on Sep 21, 2024
David's experience as a warrior is unparalleled. There is a huge amount we can learn from him when it comes to fighting battles. The biggest lesson of all is that the decisive factor in a battle is God being with us.
INTRODUCTION Today we’re returning to our series on ‘Learning from David’ and looking at the subject of ‘David the warrior.’ I thought we’d look at this subject this way. We’ll start by thinking about David and consider three questions. Did David fight? Why did he fight? And how did he fight? ...read more

David The Musician
Contributed on Sep 7, 2024

Contributed on Aug 31, 2024
Jesus is the bread of life. He is our daily sustenance and this bread gives eternal life. And although his claim sounds unbelievable, too good to be true, we have reason to believe it. Jesus had just fed 5,000 people.
INTRODUCTION We’re doing a series on ‘Titles of Jesus.’ We’ve done two so far. My first talk was on Jesus the Good Shepherd. Then, last week, we looked at Jesus the Rock. It’s wonderful to know that Jesus is our Good Shepherd and our rock. Both of those descriptions of Jesus have their roots in ...read more

David: Man Of Prayer
Contributed on Aug 30, 2024
In this talk we look at how David prayed when he faced enemies or storms in his life. He cried out to God. But he also remembered vital things about God - things that enabled him to overcome his enemies and stand firm in the storms.
INTRODUCTION How do we pray? Could we pray better? If I asked you, who in the Bible is an expert in prayer, who would you say? You might say David. The psalms are prayers and at least 75 of the 150 psalms in the Book of Psalms were written by David. We’re in a series on David, the shepherd ...read more
