    Hold your Head up the Lord is here.

    As I sat in my living room during one Christmas holiday, I remember watching with my family the story of “How The Grinch Stole Christmas.” And this played over and over in my mind, how this was not just a cartoon, but this was reality. Trying not to spoil our family time, as I sat there and thought ...read more

    An important factor in mental health is telling ourselves the truth about our rights so we are not angry. The story of Cain is used to introduce Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) a.k.a. Misbelief therapy

    INTRODUCTION Genesis 4:1-6 …”Why are you angry?” Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, and said, “I have acquired a man from the LORD.” Then she bore again, this time his brother Abel.

    Not The Jesus They Wanted Series

     | 12,056 views

    The crowds were looking for a Christ who would "remain" and lead them into glorious earthly kingdom, but Jesus was talking about being "lifted up" and not being with them forever. The Jesus they wanted wasn't the Jesus they were getting.

    I’m told these were actual answers that children gave in Sunday School: “Noah’s wife was called Joan of Ark.” “The epistles were the wives of the apostles.” “Moses got the 10 Commandments at Mt. Cyanide.” “King Solomon had 700 wives and 300 porcupines.” “The men who followed the Lord were called ...read more

     | 5,006 views

    Sometimes we presume to play God's part and forget about our part.

    Things are not always as we want them to be. Disappointments, disasters, distresses, diseases, dilemmas, discouragement and depression destroy our dreams and desires. Problems seem to be the norm and solutions seem inadequate. Our need is urgent, and we see no light at the end of the tunnel. ...read more

     | 3,136 views

    Gathering For Encouragement Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Aug 2, 2021
     | 5,395 views

    Hebrews 12:1 tells us to 'run with endurance'. Only long races need endurance - marathons, for example. In a marathon, encouragement makes all the difference. The Christian life can be tough. We need encouragement and we need to encourage others.

    Today we’re starting a new series. We will have four talks on the theme of ‘Why we gather’. Last Sunday we met back at church after sixteen months of having our morning services online. That’s a significant moment. But something else has been happening. About four months ago we started a new ...read more
