  • God's Future Glory

    The prophet Isaiah in the concluding part of his prophecy looks forward to that time when God’s glory will be fully revealed

    Last week we looked at the opening verses of Isaiah chapter 60, Arise shine, for your light has come. We thought of the light having been switched on, and when the light is on, there can be no darkness. God’s lory in Jesus has pushed the darkness back. Then, All assemble and come to you. The glory ...read more

  • The Christian In The Church

     | 1,775 views

    All Christians are called into God’s Church. And all are given gifts that they may play their part in the life and ministry in the Church. Each person’s gifting needs recognition, not least by church leadership

    In that passage from Ephesians chapter four that we heard, Paul begins by saying that he wants his Christian readers to live lives that are worthy of the calling they have received; lives which are ’worthy’ in the sense of being worth-while and of refelcting that calling- that their calling by God ...read more

  • David And Goliath

     | 15,515 views

    The contest between David and Goliath is a type of the battle between the Believer and Satan. David was prepared to go out on a limb for God. Are we?

    We all know well the story of David and Goliath; it’s one we grew up with from Sunday School. It’s a story which catches a popular vein. It’s the story of the underdog winning, winning against the seeming odds. We probably all have some feeling for the underdog, say in a sporting event, and enjoy ...read more

  • The Preachers Theme

    Jesus went about preaching. Paul was compelled to preach Christ. What is the preacher’s central theme?

    We have just heard that reading from Mark’s gospel where we hear of Jesus, first healing Simon’s mother-in-law (Do we, by the way, realise that Simon- or Peter as he was renamed, was a married man?), then healing many sick people and driving out many demons in Capernaum. Mark’s Gospel is an ...read more

  • Hearing God's Word

    Nehemiah’s reading of the Law to the returned exiles produced a spiritual revival. In today’s materialistic world, do we not need to hear God’s Word afresh

    Nehemiah 8 highlights the fact that after reconstruction there is a great need for reinstruction. We must learn to see life from God’s perspective. We need to change the way we think about ourselves and about life. All of us have been greatly affected by the philosophy of the world, much more than ...read more

    Jesus is the Good Shepherd. He will calm our hearts in bereavement and other troubled times. The question: Do we know the Shepherd?

    Many of us will have come this evening to this Hope and Remembrance Service with feelings of sadness; many of us, or some, probably recently bereaved. In this time of bereavement, we run a whole gamut of emotion. It’s a time when the boundaries of life seem to have changed and nothing is certain, ...read more

    Ruth chose to follow Naomi back to Bethlehem, declaring "Your God will be my God". That decision had results far beyonf what Ruth might have draemed possible

    Ruth 2:1-20a In that reading from Ruth tonight, we actually had quite a big chunk of that book of four chapters, which has been described as of the most charming stories ever written. Certainly it sits here in the midst of the history books of the Old Testament, and it seems something very ...read more

  • Christian Freedom

     | 1,783 views

    The epistle to the Galatians deals with the matter of justification. This leads to a life of Christian freedom- or should.

    Galatians 5:1;13-26 We come this morning to the third of our mini-series on Galatians. Two weeks ago we thought about ’Living for God’. Philip led our thoughts on how the Jews had got it all wrong, and that we are put right with God, not by keeping every detail of the Law, but it’s all though ...read more

  • The Fruit Of Justification

     | 3,607 views

    The doctrine of Justification by Faith has to be understood and applied in order to enjoy the fruit of this liberation truth

    Therefore, since we have been justified through faith. This is one of the great �therefores� of Romans. Chapters 5, 8 and 12 all begin with those great �therefores�. They mark off sections of Paul�s great epistle. There are many other �therefores� as Paul argues ...read more

    Part of the High Priestly prayer of the Lord Jesus Christ was that God’s glory might be in them. What our Lord prayed for is staggering.

    A story is told of a boy who was drawing a picture. His teacher asked what he was drawing. “I’m drawing a picture of Jesus, miss,” he replied. “But, Johnny, we don’t know what Jesus looked like.” Johnny paused for a moment, perked up, and said, “but they will when I’ve finished” We laugh at that ...read more

    Many people claim to have ’made a decision for Christ’. But are they truly converted. Their perseverance will be the test

    I’m no carpenter. That’s the understatement of the year! But I understand that in carpentry there’s a term "clinching the nail". If I have it right: In rough work, a nail is driven through several boards so that the point of the nail sticks through the back. Then the workman gives a blow of the ...read more

    Trouble strikes us all at times, and often out of the blue. Do we press the panic button, ot trust that God is with us in the storm?

    A tale of two acorns: Two acorns fell on the earth. One was in open ground; the other in the middle of a dense forest. The acorn in the open ground produced a sapling as its roots began to grow. For a while the growth was held back as the root system developed going deep into the soil and round ...read more

    Marriage is God’s design, and his ordinance form before the fall. Sex is involved; sex is designed for union of man and woman in marriage

    A man shall leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two but one Mark 10:7-8 Have you ever sat in a marriage service and wondered, "When are those two actually married?" At what point are they man and wife together? After ...read more

    A description of the characteristics of the Christian discipleship, and those things on which it rests

    As we listened to that passage from Colossians this morning, the first thing we heard Paul telling his readers to do was to clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, goodness and patience.. As we listened to that list of qualities various things could have gone through our minds. We ...read more

  • Isaiah's Woes

    based on 20 ratings
     | 14,196 views

    In Isaiah 5, the prophet pronounces God’s coming judgment on a sinful society. Much of what Isaiah taught applies to the West today. We need to pray for forgiveness

    Isaiah 5:8-30 I think we might well call Isaiah’s fifth chapter the chapter of ’woes’! And for that reason we tend to skip it by. It’s all too judgmental and too depressing. We say we want something to cheer us on our way; we want something to lift our spirits. We don’t want all this judgemental ...read more
