    A sermon examining Jesus' Letter To The Church At Smyrna.

    THE LETTER TO THE CHURCH AT SMYRNA Revelation 2:8-11 Throughout my time in the ministry I have struggled when preaching on passages that speak of Christian persecution. It has been difficult to draw an application that is relevant when preaching to an assembly of people in a country with ...read more

    Zechariah’s Remarkable Prophecy

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Apr 1, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,922 views

    Zechariah's prophecy about Jesus' riding a donkey into Jerusalem leads us to look at what else Zechariah had to say about Jesus. It's all about him being king.

    Today it’s Palm Sunday. We remember the occasion when, just a week before he was crucified, Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. In a sense, nothing very remarkable happened. 2,000 years ago – as we all know – there were no cars or buses or lorries. If people were going somewhere they would ...read more

    To make life possible, man needs a face more than goals. God becomes man in order to give us His face.

    Today we celebrate Christmas. And today’s gospel, John 1.1-18, tells us that the Word of God is the Word of life. This Word is the Light of life. The Word of God lights up for us the way we must live. The outline of the right way of living lies in this Word. This Word, this Light, fashions the ...read more

    There is not greater peace then to know that you are forgiven.

    The Joy of Forgiveness Psalm 32:1-5 Intro As with Psalm 51, scholars virtually agree on the occasion of this Hebrew song. God heard the prayer of the penitent David and restored full fellowship to him. The forgiven man then composed this joyful testimony of the peace that comes when one finds ...read more

     | 9,172 views

    A short but challenging all-age talk using a giant home-made ’Christingle’ (an orange with a red ribbon wrapped around, four sticks with fruit & sweets on & a white candle - all symbolism). God loves the world and sent Jesus as the Light of the World.

    In November I spent two weeks in Rwanda; a small country in Africa. It is a most beautiful country. There are countless rolling green hills, many of them filled with banana trees. Fields are teeming with rice plantations and there are rows and rows of tea plants. Lake Kivu in the North is stunning. ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,731 views

    A short sermon challenging us to think about what it means for us to be model Christian citizens, responding to the generosity of God.

    Titus 3: 1-7 These seven verses contain a beautiful summary of the Gospel, the Good News of the Lord Jesus. They also contain a simple summary of what it means to be a model Christian citizen in a non Christian society. It now seems true to say that the UK is no longer a Christian country. We ...read more

     | 5,464 views

    We all have excuses for not responding to Jesus' call to follow him. Life is hectic, complicated and filled with items that claim our attention. We have one reason, though, to respond to Jesus' challenge--his love and grace.

    Luke 9:51-62 “Excuses” INTRODUCTION One of the most memorable illustrations that I’ve ever seen involved a glass container similar to what I have here and rocks of various sizes. Using the rocks the demonstrator underscored and important lesson in life. Just when we thought ...read more

    This petition is the climax of the prayer as it is the object of Christ’s coming into the world. The great evil of the world is sin – the source and foundation of all the others evils in the world. The Greek text maybe translated “the evil” or “the e

    Stretched Thin

    Contributed by Steven W. Satterfield on Aug 17, 2025
     | 169 views

    I wrote this in Aug 2009 when I didn't know what was next. It turns out that the Lord allowed me to graduate with a doctorate in counseling and work full-time as a Federal prison chaplain for 12 years.

    As I start my fifteenth year of ministry, I realize I have been stretched thin. I started as a missionary in Youth With A Mission, ministering in the USA, Europe, Asia, and Africa for two years. I burned out, trying to “save the world” myself. I then went to seminary, getting a foundation for ...read more
