    The Book Of Lamentations – Part 23 – Clouded Prayer – Refuse And Rejects – John Newton – Israel’s Enduring Enemy - Chapter 3:44-46 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 8, 2025
     | 201 views

    Prayer that does not get past the ceiling; Israel will be restored; the remarkable story of John Newton (Amazing Grace); the off-scouring and refuse of the world; enemies’ mouths are against God’s people – Moab and Islam and their hatred – all these are considered here in this study.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 23 – CLOUDED PRAYER – REFUSE AND REJECTS – JOHN NEWTON – ISRAEL’S ENDURING ENEMY - CHAPTER 3:44-46 In the last four verses we were thinking about the personal aspect of the people in realising what God had done to the nation and why that had to happen. The people ...read more

    Contributed by James Jackson on Jun 16, 2025
     | 1,015 views

    In the Parable of the Prodigal Son (which is really the Parable of the Loving Father) we get a picture of how our heavenly Father loves us.

    Good morning, and Happy Father’s Day! Please turn in (or turn on) your copy of God’s Word and scroll to Luke 15. While you’re turning there, I want to share some photos with you. This past Wednesday, JonWorth encouraged our students to dress like their dad. And the results were hilarious. (Show ...read more

    God calls us to be pure, but is that possible?

    The Bible passage we just read is the verse that our older youth uses to identify themselves. They call themselves the 412 Youth Group (because of I Timothy 4:12) and essentially, they use that verse to declare that they want to be used by God, and they don’t want their AGE to get in the way of ...read more

    The Armour Of God, Part 2

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Sep 27, 2025
     | 257 views

    We're in a war. God has provided us with armour. We need to think about it carefully if we're going to use it correctly. This second talk looks at the last four pieces of armour.

    I’d like to start by reading two short passages from Sir Walter Scott’s novel, Ivanhoe. Ivanhoe is set in the 12th century, a time when soldiers fought with swords and arrows and knights wore chain mail armour. Ivanhoe is a young Saxon knight. He’s fighting alongside Sir Robin Locksley, who turns ...read more

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Oct 14, 2025
     | 170 views

    As we continue to look at the life of Joseph we will see the incredible intricacies of God’s providential plan despite all the injustices, the anger and abuse he suffered, the word says that the Lord was with him.

    In recent years, months, and weeks, we have witnessed the escalation of hatred, bitterness, and violence around the world. This escalating anger and unrest points to deeper struggles going on in people’s hearts. The question is where is God? What is he doing, what good could possibly come out of ...read more

    Remember The Stones

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 17, 2025
     | 128 views

    Remembering God’s past faithfulness anchors our present trust; every stone of memory becomes a living testimony of enduring faith in Him.

    Introduction – Like a Rock Years ago, Bob Seger wrote a song called “Like a Rock.” It wasn’t meant to be a hymn, but if you listen with spiritual ears, you can hear one hiding inside. He sings: > “Like a rock, standing arrow-straight, Like a rock, charging from the gate, Like a rock, the sun ...read more

    Walk The Talk

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 22, 2025
     | 120 views

    God rebukes His priests to restore them—calling every pastor to walk again in the covenant of life, peace, and authentic presence.

    INTRODUCTION — WHEN GOD TALKS TO PASTORS Malachi 2 is a pastor’s passage. God isn’t addressing the crowds; He’s addressing us—those who carry His Word, lead His people, and bear His name. If you’ve ever felt the weight of ministry—its loneliness, its expectations, its hidden temptations—then ...read more

    He Lifts Me Up

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 24, 2025

    God’s mercy lifts us from resentment into freedom; forgiveness is not forgetting the wrong—it’s releasing it to the One who heals

    1 — The Wound That Wouldn’t Heal It’s me, O Lord, standing in the need of prayer. That’s how this message begins—not with triumph but with honesty. Because forgiveness never starts from strength; it starts from brokenness. Maybe you know that kind of breaking. Someone walked away, someone lied, ...read more

    Where Lonely Hearts Belong

     | 233 views

    The Beatitudes reveal a Kingdom where Jesus blesses the broken, welcomes the lonely, and fills empty hearts with joy that cannot be stolen.

    Picture a hillside in Galilee. The day is beginning to soften. The sun hangs low, brushing warm gold across the lake. People settle into the grass, shifting and stretching to find a comfortable place, hoping they arrived early enough to hear every word. Some came curious. Some came ...read more

    Love Is Kind

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Oct 28, 2025
     | 250 views

    Our society is filled with things like road rage, revenge hit lists, and senseless shootings. Can we really make a difference in our society? The answer is yes, and the difference that we can make begins with being examples of simple Christian kindness.

    Alba 10-12-2025 LOVE IS KIND I Corinthians 13:4 Some years ago the “Dear Abby” column printed this letter: “Dear Abby, My mother used to be very critical of other family members, but always behind their backs.

    Any Old Bush Will Do

    Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 29, 2025
     | 626 views

    The bush God chose on Horeb was a worthless, fruitless bush that only stuck you with a thorn if you got close, yet God used it (by His holy presence) to deliver Israel and reveal His power to the world! If He can use that, He can use us!

    ANY OLD BUSH WILL DO Ex. 3:1-10 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. President Bush was going through an airport when he saw a man who looked like Moses. He asked him, "Are you Moses?" The man acted as if he didn't hear. 2. He asked him again, "Are you Moses?" The man refused to look ...read more

    Knowing God's Heartbeat

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 23, 2024
     | 1,103 views

    David knew God’s heartbeat at its best. He was a worshiper, gifted songwriter, and musician, creating many worshipful moments in the presence of God. He was called a man after God’s own heart.

    Opening illustration: While ministering in the Middle East, my wife, Maureena, and I experienced the heartbeat of God almost every day. We were so blessed to have heard Him speak and guide us along life’s path. As we followed after His heart and heeded His voice, He would bring about many blessings ...read more
