    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Feb 20, 2014
     | 3,334 views

    A look at our how our judgment is partially dependent on how much we knew, whether we're a Christian or non-Christian.

    MORE THAN HEARING: How much we’ve heard impacts how much God expects of us. - 1 Timothy 1:13. - Verse 13 brings out an interesting phrase: “because I acted in ignorance and unbelief.” - Paul there acknowledges that part of God’s great mercy to him was prefaced on his lack ...read more

    Our goal is to grow to be like Christ, exemplified by a certain belief, conduct, values, priorities and relationships. We are to make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with Him.

    RECAP – 2 Pet 3:8-13 • Peter reminded the people of the impending return of Christ and the end of this world by fire. • We are to THINK ETERNAL and invest in things that cannot be burned up, because what we do today has a bearing for the world to come. • The fact that HEAVEN ...read more

    Why Feeling Sorry About Your Sin Isn’t Repentance

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Nov 19, 2013
     | 7,044 views

    A look at real repentance versus the emotion that we often mistake for repentance.

    THE NEXT STEPS (LITERALLY): Even after surviving the whale ordeal and getting a second chance, Jonah’s repentance begins with a lot of walking. - Jonah 3:3. - This is a fact that at one level seems rather obvious but that hit me hard a while back. As I considered the story of Jonah, I had ...read more

    God is not the God of the Past but of the Present and Future. We should not let our past define us.

    The Call Of Christ

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Sep 10, 2013
     | 6,266 views

    The call of Jesus is a call to a relationship, a call to be His disciples and a call to be disciple-makers.

    Matthew 4:18-20 THE FIRST WORDS TO PETER 18 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 19 "Come, FOLLOW ME," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men." 20 ...read more

    Twenty seven years ago, I travelled to a new Church to preach in Kenya . Every time on my way to this church which was in the Maasai jungle in the middle of nowhere, I prayed that God will protect my family when I was gone, and God was faithful to do so.

    Sheep Among Wolves

    Contributed by David Mcnally on Jun 26, 2011
     | 12,071 views

    Jesus did not call us to an easy, comfortable life, but one of challenge and opposition, and possibly even suffering and death. He gives us forgiveness of sin and eternal life, but requires us to take up our cross as we follow him.

    Jesus would have fallen foul of the Health and Safety laws if he had been around today, and I imagine it would have been hard for him to advertise on TV. Just imagine someone saying today: ‘Come and follow me, and the chances are you will be spat upon, thumped, sworn at, and maybe ...read more

    Is there only one way to share our faith? Or can a baseball player, a prostitute and a shoe shop owner teach us something of the variety of ways out there. Preached Easter Sunday 2018 at St Barnabas Northolt Park

    ..................... A former crazy woman. Possibly… probably(?).... a prostitute Would this be an obvious person to pick as an evangelist? “Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples “I have seen the Lord” and she went and told them that he had said these things to her” (John 20:18) I ...read more

    There grows a tendency to lazy idleness in the church and in the families today. Apathy will destroy any spiritual grow. The harvest is before us... what role do you have? That's the preacher's job?

     | 13,043 views

    This sermon focuses on the interaction between Jesus, Zacchaeus, the Pharisee's and the community at large. Lost People matter to God. You can overcome a critical spirit and God cares about families.

    We come this morning to one example of what I consider to be the most difficult part of the Bible to understand. So I’m just going to name it for what it is, right up front. This scene of Deborah calling members of the Israelite tribes into battle is just one story among many of the seemingly ...read more

    Christ called people to decision. You cannot remain neutral about Him.

    Of all people admired in the world today, Jesus of Nazareth ranks at the top of the list. Even many who aren't believers regard Him as one of the wisest teachers and most loving leaders the world has known. So why did His contemporaries kill him? What was it about what He said or did that was so ...read more

    How The Blind Can See Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 18, 2018
     | 14,777 views

    Our world is filled with blind people. Granted, all are not physically blind, but many have never had their eyes opened spiritually. Jesus alone can touch our blindness and give sight. We must come by faith unto Him if we desire to see.

    How the Blind Can See Mark 10: 46-52 It has been said, “There is no one so blind as he who will not see”. Our world is filled with blind people. Now, I’m not talking necessarily about physical blindness. There are many who see perfectly physically but live in absolute blindness to the Lord. They ...read more

    A sermon preached at a healing service while I was visiting a Lutheran church in Sweden (This is the English text - it was translated as I gave it by my host)

    The little baby Mary wasn't expected to live. She was now in hospital. Her parents had been told to expect the worst. But the curate from the local church refused to give up. Day after day he went and prayed by her bedside. Seven decades later I met Mary. The baby who was meant to die was now a ...read more
