    Seeking restoration in an urgent and repentive way is a message that is not taught very often today!

    One of the stories that is rarely told in regards to the Titanic is the story of John Harper. I guess it would not be dramatic enough for Hollywood! Perhaps there isn’t enough promiscuity or infamy in his story. Harper was born into a Christian family in May of 1872. He became a Christian at 13 ...read more

    This is a sermon about what a christians life should look like and how we should instead of making all these worldly resolutions at New year instead make a resolution to live our life for God.

    A CHRISTIAN LIFE COL. 3:12-25 I hope that everyone here this morning had a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year. I am sure that we all got a lot of presents and we probably made quite a few New Years resolutions. This year as I was thinking about the direction I wanted my life to go I ...read more

    A short homily for some elderly Christians living in sheltered accomodation. I don’t think I took on board the right amount of spiritual food over the Christmas and New Year period. God is challenging me (and perhaps you!) to be spiritually fit.

    A lot can happen in a year! A lot can and will happen during this next year. As I look back over the last year I realise that so much has happened and so much has changed: †My two boys have started new schools. †My daughter has begun pre-school. †My sister got married. †My Granddad died. †My ...read more

    Until believers embrace holiness in our lifestyles, revival in the church cannot begin. A life changing message from Paul to the Colossians.

    The Scottish preacher John McNeill liked to tell about an eagle that had been captured when it was quite young. The farmer who snared the bird put a restraint on it so it couldn’t fly, and then he turned it loose to roam in the barnyard. It wasn’t long till the eagle began to act like the ...read more

    When we shrink God’s holiness we have no standard to live by

    How we have made God a shrinking reality DON’T BE AFRAID! Have you ever wondered which hurts the most? Saying something and wishing you hadn’t? or Saying nothing and wishing you had?

    There are some Christian character traits with which God desires for us to be clothed. Kindness, compassion, and thankfulness to name a few.
