    Jesus Heals

    Contributed by Chris Blackshaw on Jul 2, 2012
    based on 3 ratings
     | 8,333 views

    We consider how Jesus healed in biblical times and the many different ways that he heals us today.

    Jesus was a brilliant teacher who had a wonderfully astounding ministry, a major part of which was healing. Throughout the gospels we read of the many events that were both inspiring and life changing, for people who were healed, for those who looked on and even for those who heard about what ...read more

    Jesus Rejected At Nazareth

    Contributed by Chris Blackshaw on Apr 13, 2012
    based on 5 ratings
     | 23,602 views

    An in depth understanding of the bible passage of Jesus' rejection in his home town and what message it has for us today.

    Our reading from Luke 4:16-30 is known as the Rejection at Nazareth. It takes place immediately after Jesus had been tempted by the devil in the Judean Desert and before he travels to Capernaum, where he teaches and performs many miracles. In it we find a fast moving story that turns from ...read more

    Resurrection Of Jesus

    Contributed by Chris Blackshaw on Apr 13, 2012
     | 4,004 views

    In depth explanation of the biblical text and a reflection of what it means for us today

    What a day it turned out to be, in fact what a life changing and challenging week it had been. Jesus’ arrest, interrogation and crucifixion, leading to his death on the cross, had seen his faithful followers scatter and hide themselves away, as they shared with each other their grief for a ...read more

    Faith Needs A Total Commitment From Us

    Contributed by Chris Blackshaw on Jun 17, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,983 views

    Based on Genesis 22:1-14 I examine what God requires from us in our faith life.

    Faith is a matter of life or death. In Romans 6:23 we are told that the wage of the sinner is death but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord. We either believe in God and walk with Him by faith throughout our lives, accepting Him as our Lord and Saviour and have eternal life ...read more

    The Powerful Presence Of God

    Contributed by Chris Blackshaw on Oct 31, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,852 views

    Moses, is called by God, he experiences that powerful presence and is moved to do great things in his name.

    In our readings this afternoon we have a very strong and powerful message. We read about Moses, a man who was a reluctant leader of God’s people, a man who thought he was a bad speaker and a man who doubted himself to do the job that God wanted him to do. Yet despite his own feelings about ...read more

    Zacchaeus Meets Jesus And Is Saved

    Contributed by Chris Blackshaw on Oct 31, 2010
    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,680 views

    No one is beyond being saved. Our task is the same as Jesus' task - to seek the lost and save them and to be proactive in doing it.

    Jesus was passing through Jericho from the area of Jordan to Bethany near Jerusalem. He was on his way to raise Lazarus back to life. It was an important journey that he was undertaking but as he was going to perform this great miracle he still found time to deal with other people and their ...read more

    Jesus calls the first disciples, preaches to the crowds then performs a miracle.

    God our Father whose word has come among us, may the light of faith kindled in our hearts shine in our words and deeds, through him, who is Christ the Lord, who is alive and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God now and forever. Amen Fishing was both an important and common way ...read more

    Hearing And Recognising God When He Speaks To Us

    Contributed by Chris Blackshaw on Sep 28, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,132 views

    We all hear and experience God in different ways with some it is through thoughts, feelings, inner voices we have to recognise God’s voice and respond to it.

    Christianity is unique among religions, for it alone offers a personal relationship with the Creator beginning here and now, and lasting throughout eternity. Jesus declared, “This is eternal life – that they may know God” (Jn. 17:2). Unfortunately, many in the Church miss the great blessing of ...read more

    A Call To Harvest

    Contributed by Chris Blackshaw on Jul 5, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,825 views

    We must work hard to tell others about God then we will reap our reward in Heaven.

    The Harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. This is a powerful piece of scripture that just seemed to jump out of the page at us. To me it speaks volumes. To me it says there is a lot of work to be done but not many of us wanting to do it. When I was a young lad on our family farm the ...read more

    Resurrection Morning

    Contributed by Chris Blackshaw on Apr 11, 2006
    based on 14 ratings
     | 9,786 views

    To accept the resurrection you must meet Jesus and to have faith is the key to the kingdom of God. To receive Jesus we must listen for him calling us.

    Our bible reading today is one that is full of feeling, faith, compassion and emotion. It is one of the base lines and benchmarks of the Christian faith. We have Mary Magdalene making her way, in sorrow, to the tomb of her Lord and Master. She is distraught, her eyes are full with tears and her ...read more

    with faith we can do anything because God is always at our side.

    I have recently finished reading a book by a Chinese Christian, who is known across the world as brother Yun. Brother Yun is a wanted man and at the moment he and his family are exiles from their own country. Yun is a man of great faith. But because of his faith he has undergone much hardship ...read more

    God Leads And Guides His People Through

    Contributed by Chris Blackshaw on Apr 2, 2003
    based on 14 ratings
     | 6,209 views

    God leads his people through difficulties to the promised land

    I often think that change and the future are two things that strike fear into a person’s soul. It is the uncertainty of not knowing what lies ahead. For in the familiar there is security. We have all experienced it I am sure. There are times when our relationships suddenly seem to be uncertain ...read more

    Amos Is Called To Point Out Our Faults

     | 12,105 views

    Amos is called by God to stand amongst and to show the error of our ways

    We have just heard a passage from the book of Amos. I always try to imagine what the person was like. I find it fascinating to try to conjure up an image of the person in the passage. I believe that Amos is best described as a man of God. He was a man whose life was spent serving God and his ...read more
