    How Nehemiah begins to re-build the walls of Jerusalem.

    Introduction In this morning’s text, we will look at how Nehemiah begins to re-build the walls of Jerusalem. I think that the state of walls of Jerusalem / is not a bad picture / of the state of some of our parishes in England today. Perhaps the state of repair of the walls will not epitomise ...read more

    Blessed Are The Meek Series

    Contributed by Art Campbell on Jun 30, 2007
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,998 views

    Many people confuse meekness for weakness. But true meekness is strong, a gentleness of spirit and humility that comes from confidence in God.

    Matt 5.5 "Blessed are the meek for they will inherit the earth." As we go through these beatitudes we’re discovering that Jesus turns conventional wisdom on its head and presents those things the world despises as the way of the Kingdom. And this morning we’ve come to a beatitude that isn’t ...read more

     | 2,876 views

    Was the cross and all of its barbarism necessary or was there another way? It calls us to decide whether Jesus wa Liar, Lunatic or Lord.

    Did Jesus Have To Die? (The offense of the cross) 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 Did Jesus have to suffer and die?" To say that it was necessary causes Christians no problem at all. In fact, the story of the cross, or forgiveness of sins, of paying our ransom, or the just dying for the unjust... THE ...read more

     | 5,109 views

    What was the essence of the Gospel of the Kingdom? Jesus came preaching a gospel which cut across the norms of the day. He still proclaims a gospel that is radical, unconventional and controversial.

    The Gospel of the Kingdom Matt 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people Ben Hur, Gladiators – epic Hollywood blockbusters depicting the glory and ...read more

    Sermon on the Seventh Petition of the Lord's Prayer: Deliver Us from Evil.

    Have you ever dialled 911 by mistake? I have. When I realized it I hung up quickly – hands sweaty, heart thumping sure fire trucks were going to show up on my front doorstep followed by a police car to haul me away when they realized there was no emergency.

    What job encounters in our text this week is a god who overwhelms and transforms him, even in the depth of his pain.

    There’s nothing wrong with once in a while leaving the place of worship awestruck. It would become tiring on a weekly basis, but now and then, it is good to tremble at the threshold of the throne of God. I wonder this morning Wesley Does anyone come to worship expecting to encounter the living ...read more

    Lovers Leap Series

     | 1,711 views

    The lack of an apostrophe in the title is not an error: it's a simple declarative sentence. Lovers of Jesus take the leap of faith.

    I love the Indiana Jones movies. I think my all-time favorite will always be the first one, Raiders of the Lost Ark, but the third one, Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade, is almost as good. How many of you have seen it? Sean Connery (who played Indy’s father) was almost as gorgeous as Harrison ...read more

    Life is always tempting us with doors number 1, 2, or 3. It takes wisdom, prayer, planning, preparation, and pusuing godly counsel to make the right choice.

    This morning we are going to play a game that became very popular in the seventies and continues today. It’s called “Let’s Make A Deal.” Do you remember it? People would dress up in the most silliest of costumes in hopes of being selected to play in the game. If you were ...read more

    God doesn't work through the best and the brightest. He doesn't work through human wisdom or ability. instead, he works through a surprisingly unqualified group of people--people like you and me.

    If you're like me, a lot of you guys still have some playground memories from when you were on recess in elementary school. Do you remember how you would choose up teams for pick up baseball or basketball games. Generally, two of the "cooler dudes" on the playground would somehow ...read more
