    Today, we are looking at one of the most beloved events in all of the New Testament—the time when Jesus fed the 5000 with five loaves and two fish. But despite our familiarity with the account, there are many things we can still learn from it.

    This morning we have come to one of the most beloved stories in all of the Bible. Probably most of us have pictures of this event in our mind from children’s story books or Sunday school lessons. On the one hand, it’s good that many of us are very familiar with this event. But on the other hand, ...read more

    Have you found what you’re looking for? The people in our passage today thought they found what they were looking for in Jesus. But He wouldn’t have anything to do with them. Why was that? Because they were looking for a king, but they were looking for

    We are either dreamers or detractors, but God will use both. Whatever is worth doing begins as a dream; and the dreamers redeem the detractors. There will always be ministry to do.

    The world is made up of two kinds of people. The dreamers and the detractors. Dreamers and detractors. Dreamers look at the world as it is, and see new possibilities. Detractors look at the world and see nothing but disaster. Dreamers look at the world as it is and know it can be better. ...read more

    A short sermon on Jesus place in our lives and a challange to a group of young mainly non-believers from a SA programme to attend church this Christmas.

The Christmas cards we have been brought up with show that it may have been snowing ...read more

    The second sermon in a series on Mark. This message focuses upon the reasons for Christ’s baptism and the Triune nature of it. It stresses the unique nature of Jesus to His Father, and shows how we too may have the Father’s pleasure.

    Over the years, although I have kept no count, I dare say I have baptised dozens of people, people of all ages and with all kinds of backgrounds in rivers, lakes and sea, as well as swimming pools and baptismal tanks. Most baptisms I have completely forgotten the details of, but a few stick ...read more

    Baptism: Magic Or Mission?

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 14, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,318 views

    "How can I get God to do what I want?" is the poor question that has led to erroneous concepts of baptism. Baptism is, to the contrary, our signing on to how we can go what God wants.

    The problem is that if you don’t ask the right question, you’ll never get the right answer. If you ask the wrong question, you’ll never get the answer you want. A long time ago I learned that it is the wrong question, definitely the wrong question, to ask, "Are we having dessert tonight?" If I ...read more
