    It is to our benefit that God condescended to become human. In the words of the Church Fathers, he "abbreviated" Himself.

    Monday of the First Week of Advent 2011 Verbum Domini What a providential, or shrewd, juxtaposition we have this year on this first Monday of Advent. The word of God today brings together the expectation of Advent, our reflections on Verbum Domini, and the reintroduction of truly Scriptural ...read more

    The abbreviation ’Xmas’ annoys some Christians but it has a message worth hearing.

    Xmas or CHRISTmas ? I used to get annoyed when I saw the word ‘Xmas’ as an abbreviation for ‘Christmas’ as it seemed to take something of the wonder out of the story of Jesus coming to our world as a baby in order to become the Saviour of the World. It was all part of the commercialising this ...read more

    This is an abbreviated version of my earlier sermon on the whole Psalm, which was entitled 'A Heart for God'.

    THE WORD OF GOD, AND A HEART FOR GOD. Psalm 19:7-14. Creation, general revelation, does not stand alone in its testimony to God. The LORD God has entered into a covenant relationship with mankind, and spoken to us Himself. This ‘special revelation’ is explored in the second main section of this ...read more

    Message 10 in an expositional series through Paul's "second" letter to the church in the ancient Greek city of Corinth. This devotional is an abbreviated sermon preached on a Sunday in which the Lord's Supper was celebrated.

    Not all messages that a preacher preaches get finished. Many factors come into play that can interrupt the sermon. Some are from the enemy; yet sometimes it is God Himself that intrudes for a more lofty reason.

    Abbreviated Messages Mark 16:20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. Many kinds of messages: encouragement, challenge, exhortation, consolation, prophetic, etc. Most of them get preached to the last point. ...read more

    This is an abbreviated sermon used after my annual pastor's report to the congregation explaining why we do not have a written "business plan" for church growth. Instead it lays out the 3 foundational steps the Lord has put in my heart as I serve here.

    If you would, please stand as we say together our memory Scripture for this quarter: Romans 12:4-5 “Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.” ...read more

    There is a powerful peace that is ours to enjoy in Jesus Christ! Listen to God's word about how we come to know and have this peace.

    Jesus was the stone rejected by Sadducee and Pharisee alike, but His presence is the foundation stone for the Church He left behind to continue His mission.

    Saturday of Easter Week It’s remarkable that the same Sanhedrin council who, six weeks earlier, had been able to condemn Jesus to death for blasphemy, and then proceed to bribe or blackmail the Roman procurator to execute Him seems powerless in our first reading. They have brought the apostles to ...read more
