    A talk given at our ’Pensioners Praise’ service. Jesus said his sheep know his voice. This talk encourages people to want to know Him.

    A Shepherd loses his sheep, goes into a pub and hears it calling him. Which bit of the pub does he head for: The bar! A few years ago I was reading a book by Stephen Gaukroger. He tells the story of a New York Methodist minister who saw the need to bring his ‘ninety nine righteous’ sheep back ...read more

    Understanding the meaning and significance of Christ's ascension into heaven leads us to praise him for his grace that has saved us and for his promises that sustain us.

    They had ten days to think about it. As the disciples waited for Jesus to keep his promise to send the Holy Spirit to them, they had ten days to reflect on the fact that he had ascended into heaven. What things do you think came to their minds in the days after that amazing event? Perhaps they ...read more

    Let Nehemiah Teach You How To Handle Criticism

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Jun 13, 2006
    based on 34 ratings
     | 4,250 views

    If we are not mature enough for criticism we are too immature for praise. Adverse criticism from a wise man is more to be desired than the enthusiastic approval of the unwise.

    Let Nehemiah Teach You How to Handle Criticism "Do not mind criticism. If it is untrue, disgregard it. If it is unfair, do not allow it to get under your skin. If it is misinformed, refute it. If it is ignorant smile and be bigger than the critic. If it is justified, learn from it." "Adversity ...read more

    God blesses us by coming down to us, by ’kneeling’in a gesture of grace and salvation. In response we are to bless Him with praise and worship, commitment and service.

    Here is a man born crippled. In his whole life he has never walked. Suddenly he is healed and he is walking and leaping and praising God!

    The reports were astounding. There were so many professions of faith, baptisms and new house churches that formed that it seemed to come right out of the pages of Acts. I was more than happy to lead the team of twelve researches tasked to better understand how the gospel was moving so rapidly. We ...read more

    THANKFUL FOR ONE ANOTHER "I thank my God upon every remembrance of you." Philippians 1:3 No man is "an island" unto himself. Our lives touch many others and the lives of many others touch us. For this reason Paul wrote: "that there should be no division in the body (of Christ), but ...read more

    Though the Master was worshipped by angels, the unborn John was the first person to worship the Saviour, and his mother, Elizabeth, was the first to lend her voice to praise the Saviour.

    “[Mary] was greatly troubled at the [angel’s] saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. And the angel said to her, ‘Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favour with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. He ...read more

    We praise God when life is good, how do we respond when facing oppostion? We look at the aftermath of the miracle at the Beautiful Gate.
