The Final Post Resurrection Appearance In John's Gospel Series

Contributed by Revd. Martin Dale on Apr 24, 2020

Peter had failed Jesus by denying him 3 times and Jesus forgives him by allowing him to negate each of the three denials. We will fail but when we come to Jesus he will restore us

Jn 21:1-19 Introduction As I mentioned last Sunday and also on Easter Sunday, John records only four of the Post Resurrection appearances of Jesus. I think his reason for doing so is that the aim of his book is to awaken faith – and not to be - JUST another historical record of the times of ...read more

Remember The Cross

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 8, 2021

Mary, Did You Know? Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jul 17, 2021

Based on the song "Mary, Did You Know." Was Mary in need of salvation, although she bore the holy Christ child? Did she ever know why the child she delivered had come into the world? This message seeks to answer these questions.

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 15, 2016

Post Resurrection Lull Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Mar 30, 2016

On A Morning Like This

Contributed by Vic Folkert on Mar 18, 2019

Mark's ending, unique among the gospels, connects the empty tomb to real-life struggles, as it ends with the women "bewildered and afraid." As we join the women there, we grasp the life-changing impact of the resurrection.

Jesus' Answer To Prejudice And Discrimination

Contributed by Byron Perrine on Jul 9, 2019
