    Best Laid Plans

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Feb 3, 2013
     | 4,211 views

    Continuing a series in the letter of James I ask to what extent our plans match up with God's plans.

    We come to the 10th episode of our series in the New Testament letter of James. His Hebrew name is Yaakov. He was a half-brother of Jesus, and he was one of the earliest leaders of the church in Jerusalem after the resurrection of Jesus. In this section James (4:13) addresses believers who have ...read more

    Do We Love Jerusalem Like The Messiah Loves Her?

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Jan 20, 2013
     | 4,297 views

    A short talk challenging us to start to love Zion, to love Jerusalem with the love that the Messiah has for her; and also to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

    In Luke’s Gospel after Jesus was baptised (3:21) he was led by the Holy Spirit into the desert where he was tempted by the devil for forty days (4:1-2). After resisting the devil Jesus returned to his home town of Nazareth in Galilee. He went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he was ...read more

    The Example Of Simeon

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 30, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,591 views

    The example of Simeon calls us to be righteous, devout, moved by the Spirit, and patient

    The location was the Jewish Temple (2:27) in Jerusalem (2:22). It was later destroyed by the Roman Army around 70 AD and today all that remains is one enormous wall, known as the Wailing Wall, or the Western Wall. It is an incredibly moving place to visit, as I did in January 2009; and it is where ...read more

    How Do We Run The Race When We Can’t Run?

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 24, 2012
     | 5,220 views

    This talk was from early December 2012 as feedback from my Sabbatical. The question in my mind was, "How do we run the race when we can’t run?" I spent time talking to and reading books by people with various impairments. This is some of what I learned.

    For the purposes of this morning I’m going to assume that none of you knows about the illness that left me almost bed ridden for 7 months back in 2008. I’ve only met some of you recently and so that seems to be the best way to proceed. When I visited Kenya recently I said, “I have 1 wife and 3 ...read more

    Is Christmas In Danger Of Extinction?

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 24, 2012
     | 1,912 views

    My all-age talk for Christmas Day 2012. Using an illustration of the extinction of the Christmas Island Pipistrelle I ask people to think about the future of the Church in England. Will we listen to the leading authority in our Church and take action?

    Since 2009 nights on Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean will never be the same again. On 26 August 2009 the sound of the Christmas Island Pipistrelle was recorded for the last time. Since then there has been silence. The tiny animal was 2 cm in length and weighed less than a £1 coin. At the start ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,165 views

    A short talk for our 2012 Christingle Services where we get to share Jesus with about 700 people, many of whom are not sure about their faith. This short talk is given by a Shepherd, telling what happened when the angel spoke to him.

    Q: What is a shepherd’s favourite karate move? A: The Lamb Chop! Q: When a male sheep opens the door of the sheep pen for his favourite lady sheep what does he say? A: After ewe! Q: What do sheep like to play at a casino? A: Woolette! Q: Why did the ram jump off the cliff? A: Because he didn’t see ...read more

    Joseph Preaches About Jesus

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 19, 2012
     | 2,051 views

    A short talk for children aged 5 to 11 plus their teachers and parents. This is Joseph (preaching in character) telling a bit of his story. The talk ends with a short song using the chorus of the well known carol O, Come let us adore him.

    Hello everyone my name’s Joe – bet you don’t know what Joe is short for! Yes, that’s right, it is Joseph! Well, you’ll never believe some of the amazing and weird stuff that’s happened to me and my fiancée this year. No way will you believe it. My fiancée, my lovely girlfriend, my wife-to-be, she ...read more

    Mary: Ordinary, Poor And Chosen

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 16, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,839 views

    A very short talk given at our 2012 Nativity Service. Put simply, God chose Mary. She was a young, poor female from the wrong end of the country but he had a perfect plan for her. He has a plan for you too!

    The Angel said, “Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favour with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High” (1:30-32). A very famous and rich couple are going to have a ...read more

     | 5,027 views

    This very short talk makes use of a brilliant video made by Igniter Media, and focuses on the fact that the message of Jesus is a Key message for the whole world

    Would you agree that Christmas is a time of year when a very important message to the world can easily get buried or missed? Would you agree we can get so excited about 1: Mince Pies 2: Mum’s Christmas Turkey 3: Marks and Spencer’s food 4: Mulled Wine and – most of all 5: My ...read more

     | 6,615 views

    We need to ask ourselves a question: Who am I, who are you in this parable of Jesus? The answer has an important bearing on what we do about it ...

    During the summer some friends from Hampshire (Bethany and David) asked Moira and I to keep free Thursday 29 August 2013 for their wedding. The date is firmly in the diary and I’m looking forward to conducting the ceremony. They’ve also asked lots of other friends and family to keep the ...read more

    Heavenly Wisdom Not Earthly Wisdom Series

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Nov 25, 2012
    based on 3 ratings
     | 9,449 views

    These verses put our hearts in the dock. God wants to cast out earthly unspiritual wisdom. He wants us full of his heavenly, considerate, merciful wisdom.

    (This illustration comes from Simon Coupland’s Book Spicing up your speaking): Robert Greene wrote a self-help manual for people who want to be amongst life’s winners. He called it ‘The 48 laws of Power’. Here are some of his 48 laws: Never put too much trust in friends; learn how to use enemies. ...read more

    Give Us Today The Food That We Need

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Nov 11, 2012
     | 3,425 views

    A short talk from a series on the Lord's Prayer at our evening service. To pray, "Give us today our daily bread" is to recognise that God is the giver. It may also require us to be part of the answer to other people's prayers as per James 2:15-16.

    The Lord’s Prayer is the model for prayer taught by Jesus. It is the skeleton, the frame, upon which we build when we pray. Yes, we can and do pray it word for word, but if we think the Lord’s Prayer is like a fixed recipe, or worse, if we think this model prayer is like a spell, or ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,175 views

    A short talk given at our annual Memorial Service where we invite family members to come and give thanks for the life of a loved one who has died recently.

    Throughout my life I have been encouraged by the faith and by the actions of some very unlikely people. During the summer I spent some time talking to people with a variety of disabilities and impairments and I have to say I found myself both inspired and uplifted. Watching the Paralympics was ...read more

    Yes, Even Love The Neighbours We Don't Like!

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Oct 22, 2012
     | 4,039 views

    A short all-age talk given to a congregation where about a third were visitors to the Church. Jesus calls us to love God and love our neighbours as ourselves - with all of the love, care and attention that we would wish for ourselves.

    I need someone to tell me about their favourite singer or favourite band – someone you’re crazy about. How often do you listen to their music? Would you like to meet them in person? Would you travel to see them in concert? Now I need someone to tell me about their favourite author, an ...read more

    St Paul makes it clear that in the Body of Christ all have a role to play and we need each other, without exception.

    1 Corinthians 12: 12-27 At the Carpenter’s tools annual meeting Brother Hammer was in the chair but some suggested he should leave as he was too noisy. Hammer replied, “If I leave then Brother Screw must also go. You have to turn him around again, and again and again to get him to ...read more
