    Time To Bear Your Cross

    Are we willing to bear the cross of Jesus even in the face of persecution?

    I have thought long and hard about today’s sermon. This particular topic has been mulling around in my mind for several months. In light of certain incidents over the past few weeks, that “still small voice” down inside told me that now is the right time. Several phrases in today’s gospel ...read more

    Would Jesus' Facebook status comments sound like yours?

    Of What Spirit Are Ye? I grew up, off and on, in a rather mild Methodist church and my wife was in a rather laid back Lutheran one though Methodists were once call shoutin' Methodists and we all know the stir Luther made back in the day. Things mellowed out over the years. At 20 and ...read more

    The book of Revelation offers great insight for understanding martyrdom and persecution.

    “Visiting Down Under” Rev. 6:9-11 If only we would read the book of Revelation as a message of comfort rather than a calendar of events, if only we would see Revelation as an opportunity for encouragement rather than a platform for debate, if only we would preach and teach it from a ...read more

    Christ: Our Saviour And Our Example

    A short talk for Good Friday. I am deeply challenged by Peter reminding us that when suffering for his faith, Jesus did not retaliate and made no threats; and we’re called to follow his example!

    When I was at school there was no such thing as an anti-bullying policy, and I think I was on the receiving end of a large amount of abuse, mainly due to my surname, Pidgeon, and my painfully thin physique. As I look back I think I eventually adopted my own personal anti-bullying policy and it went ...read more

    The first two churches in Asa Minor will show us types and shadows of the present day church. The first loveless, maybe mechanical. The second, persecuted, but strong and proven. This is a verse upon verse spreaching on the book of Revelation. Enjoy.

    We must guard against the worldly pressures and fears that threaten us to "tone down" the Gospel message.

    FEAR! A WORD THAT IS ONLY 4-LETTERS, BUT ONE THAT CAN REAP DEVESTATING CONSEQUENCES. FEAR IS SO POWERFUL THAT IT CAN PARALYZE, CONTROLL, AND MANIPULATE US. FEAR CAN COMPELS US TO DO IRRESPONSIBLE THINGS AND CAN EVEN HINDER US FROM LIVING RESPONSIBLY AND LIVING FRUITLESS LIVES. THIS IS WHY I ...read more
