An Unlikely Revival

Choosing The Right Path

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Oct 28, 2023

To build a life of significance is not found in earthly relationships, amassing wealth, or good health but in faith in a risen Savior. We all stand at the crossroads to either believe in Jesus and be granted adoption into His family or reject Him and forever spend eternity in hell.

Christmas Day: Name That Tune!

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 22, 2007

This all-age talk for Christmas Day is based around a game of ’Name that Tune’. Each of the 5 tunes, once guessed, help to build up the sermon which ends asking people to invite Jesus into their lives if they’ve not already done so.

(The big idea: The point of this all-age sermon is that Jesus is totally unique! There is no-one like him. He alone reveals God to humanity and he alone reveals God’s plans for us. Just like a piece of music the more we listen to it and get to know it the more its unique qualities become obvious. ...read more
