  • The Gospel Came

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Jul 6, 2008
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,950 views

    The Gospel is the Good News of Jesus Christ in the Word of God and Paul tells us What it is, How it came and What we should do with it.

    THE GOSPEL CAME One of the most frequently used words in the Christian church is the word ‘gospel’. It is of course the ‘Good News’ of the Lord Jesus Christ. The gospel is the most important message that we can ever hear. George Whitefield was preaching and noticed an old man settling down for ...read more

  • Leap Year

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Feb 10, 2008
    based on 10 ratings
     | 3,292 views

    In Leap Year, an extra day is given, but our days on Earth are few and uncertain, unlike God who is eternal but through faith in Jesus we may have eternal life with Him.

    One of the most frequent words in the Bible is the word ‘Day’. It’s used many hundreds of occasions because we’re living in time. When God created the world Genesis tells us it was over 6 days – how long those days were is not really known but on each we’re told ‘there was evening and there was ...read more

  • Triumphant In Temptation

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Jan 18, 2008
    based on 10 ratings
     | 3,788 views

    Temptation is as old as mankind, seen first in the Prototype in the Garden of Eden when the First Adam fell, but the Second Adam was Triumphant in the Wilderness from which we can be forearmed to meet Satan’s temptations.

    Why does God allow temptation? That, together with the origin of evil, are great mysteries and they’re closely related. The Bible gives us no explanation as to the ultimate origin of evil but is undoubtedly connected with the devil. When we open the pages of Scripture he already existed. The ...read more

  • The Incarnation Of Jesus

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Dec 2, 2007
    based on 11 ratings
     | 12,854 views

    The Incarnation of Jesus is God’s great gift to mankind revealing What God Has Done, How He Did It, Why We Need His Amazing Grace, and What Are Our Obligations.

    THE INCARNATION OF JESUS John Betjeman wrote some memorable lines on the Incarnation of the Lord Jesus Christ: ‘And is it true this most tremendous tale of all, / The Maker of the stars and sea / Became a child on earth for me?’ It is true, we believe, but it isn’t quite the whole truth: for the ...read more

  • John The Baptist And The Messiah

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Nov 10, 2007
    based on 19 ratings
     | 11,380 views

    John the Baptist had doubts as to Jesus being the Messiah so asked for evidence, receiving details of His Mission and Identity and a Commendation.

    JOHN THE BAPTIST AND THE MESSIAH John the Baptist was a great personality, very much in the mould of the Old Testament prophets. In fact he was the last in their line. As a young man he’d had an inner urge to serve God. No doubt his parents had told him of the special circumstances surrounding ...read more

  • The Door With No Handle Series

    The painting by Holman Hunt shows Jesus outside a door with no handle requesting entry but will he be admitted?

    Take a look at this picture. It’s a rather famous painting by an artist whose name was Holman Hunt. The original is hung in St Paul’s Cathedral in London. If you look at it closely there’s something rather odd about it. Can you spot it? It’s unusual because it’s a door with no handle! Now ...read more

  • Remembrance Day And The Suffering Church

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Nov 10, 2006
    based on 10 ratings
     | 5,728 views

    Many churches link Remembrance Day and the Suffering Church finding help in both life situations in David’s testimony of God who Forgives, Heals, Preserve, Provides and Satisfies

    On Remembrance Day we’re reminded by the two minutes silence of the suffering and sacrifice by ordinary men and women in the interests of their nation and cherished values. It’s also appropriate to link Remembrance with the Persecuted and Suffering Church. Here in Britain the Christian Church ...read more

  • Remembrance Day Poppy

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Nov 4, 2006
    based on 60 ratings
     | 17,146 views

    The Poppy used on Remembrance Sunday is a symbol of sacrifice by brave men and women in warfare but the Christian Church also has a symbol of sacrifice in the Cross of Jesus

    What is so special about a poppy on Remembrance Day? Why not use a pansy? Scarlet poppies grow naturally in conditions of disturbed earth throughout Western Europe. The destruction brought by the Napoleonic wars of the early 19th Century, transformed bare land into fields of blood red poppies, ...read more

  • The Blind See, The Sighted Are Blind

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Oct 30, 2006
    based on 30 ratings
     | 9,752 views

    The miracle of a blind man receiving his sight addresses the Problem of Affliction and Healing and that criticism by the Pharisees brought out both negative and positive reaction.

    There’s a saying that ‘There’s none as blind as those who won’t see!’ As Helen Keller said: ‘What would be worse than being born blind? To have sight without vision.’ It’s certainly true in the encounter that Jesus had with the Pharisees on the occasion when He healed a man who had been born ...read more

  • Prayer Texting

    based on 14 ratings
     | 2,788 views

    Texting on my mobile was a parable on praying.

    Most children and many adults have a mobile. It’s a valuable tool of communication, not only as a portable phone, but also in word messages known as ‘texting’. We were on holiday in Canada and found it so useful to keep in touch with our family by sending and receiving text messages as we ...read more

  • New Life In Christ

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Dec 1, 2005
    based on 18 ratings
     | 5,918 views

    A road map to New Life in Christ - from being Dead, Enslaved and Condemned - through the Grace of God, telling us What God Has Done,Why God Did It and What We Are Now (Or Should Be).

    The Bible is great literature but to the Christian it’s more than that – it’s God’s Story of His self-revelation to mankind. The story-line is God’s working out of His sovereign purpose in effecting a re-creation of what was fundamentally damaged by the sin of our first parents. God chose to do ...read more

  • Kingdom Wisdom From Proverbs

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Sep 29, 2005
    based on 66 ratings
     | 12,114 views

    Christians are citizens of God’s Kingdom needing Kingdom Wisdom as detailed by Solomon in Kingdom: Rules (The Ten Commandments); Principles (Love and Faithfulness); Decision-Making (Trust in the Lord); Economics (Honour God with our Money) and Discipline

    God wants His people to have a full and satisying life. But how do we get it? Demands are made on us, with the pressures of the 21st century in terms of time and resources. We’re bombarded by the influences of the secular environment and at the same time there’s the insistent call of God as we ...read more

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Aug 26, 2005
    based on 14 ratings
     | 10,039 views

    Jesus used the Parables of The Talents and The Pounds to teach His followers of the Kingdom of God - of its Coming, postponed in all its fulness until His Return, but in the meantime, Waiting and Working for it, and Accountability for what we do for it.

    When Jesus walked the highways and byways of the land of Israel preaching the coming Kingdom of God he caused quite a stir. The religious establishment were generally suspicious and increasingly hostile to His message. His reception by what were known as the ‘common people’ was quite different. ...read more

     | 4,012 views

    The Roman Emperor Constantine saw the sign of a Cross in the sky which had a decisive effect on both his military career and spiritual life.

    On 29th October AD 312 the first Roman Emperor converted to the Christian faith, Constantine the Great, entered Rome. He was a worshipper of the sun god, Sol. On 28th October the forces he commanded were trying to conquer Rome. There was a great battle to take a bridge leading to the city. His ...read more

  • The Parable Of The Sower, The Seed And The Soils

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Jul 28, 2005
    based on 127 ratings
     | 66,599 views

    Jesus explains the conditions of entry into God’s Kingdom - He is the Sower, the Seed is His Word and men and women are the Soil, either "Bad-Soil" - along the Path: responding NO; on the Rock: YES & NO; among Thorns: YES BUT; or "Good-Soil" : YES!

    The first recorded parable of Jesus is “The Parable of the Sower” (Matthew 13:1-23) but it’s equally the story of the seed and the soils. Earlier that day He’d had a confrontation with the Pharisees and religious lawyers about His claim to be the Son of Man and the great gulf that separated them ...read more
