    No room in the inn? This is a short lesson. Often we can miss what Christmas is really about. A little bird taught me a great lesson.

    My Mom’s present? CHRISTMAS MAY BE ABOUT LITTLE BIRDS? Luke 2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. Let us remember the little birds...

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Sep 22, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,218 views

    A short talk for an early morning Communion service presenting 4 principles for prayer from verse one of this Bible Reading. They are not exhaustive by any means.

    What needs do you have? To whom do you go to lay bare your needs? What needs do you have? Some Bible commentators suggest that the words used in verse one simply mean ‘bring all sorts of different prayers’ for those in authority; and whilst that is absolutely true, I do believe that ...read more

To show us how short our life is, God compares our life to nine ...read more

    Making Jesus Famous

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Jan 27, 2010
     | 5,398 views

    A short but important sermon for a Wednesday morning Communion. Jesus made himself famous in the power of the Spirit in word and deed. We are called to do the same.

    Is news about Jesus travelling fast in Billericay? Perhaps for some people the news has come and gone and is now in the past, almost forgotten, occasionally recalled when something happens – a subconscious memory; a little bit like the Boxing Day Tsunami – when we think about it we are ...read more

    A short sermon on Jesus place in our lives and a challange to a group of young mainly non-believers from a SA programme to attend church this Christmas.

    Read Luke 2: 8-12 As we enter the season of advent, we think of Jesus this cute baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, in a stable in a place with a nice name, visited by the shepherds and the wise men and angels. The Christmas cards we have been brought up with show that it may have been snowing ...read more

    Easter Sunday: If Jesus Was Raised Then What Will You Do About It?

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Apr 11, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,259 views

    If the resurrection is true, we need to do something about it! Respond to it. This is a fairly short talk encouraging first time commitments to Jesus

    If Jesus Christ did not rise from the dead then most of what we do as a Church is a waste of time. If Jesus Christ was not raised then my job is almost entirely meaningless and I am wasting my life away; but if Jesus Christ was truly raised then we have the most important message for the world, for ...read more

    A short sermon looking at the priorities Jesus sets in this Bible reading and asking what our priorities are. My prayer is that His priorities will be ours.

    Priorities, priorities, priorities! I wonder how you react to hearing those three words, or was it one word? Are you thinking ’time management’? Do you have a ’to-do list’? Do you wonder if you have got your priorities right? Would you like more time for those things you consider to be top ...read more

    So much is changing! However, God is not, and the forgiveness and presence of Jesus does not change. This is a short homily given at a residential care home for the elderly.

    [This is a short homily given at a residential care home for the elderly.] In the pop song ‘Everything fades away’, Mariah Carey sings the words, “Nothing ever stays the same.” However, in the old hymn ‘Abide with me’ we come across these words: “Change and decay in all around I see; O thou who ...read more

    A short talk for our 2011 Christingle services. Will you make room for Jesus? If you do, 2012 and the rest of your life will be very different!

    Someone suggested to me recently that if money ever became tight I should consider becoming a joke writer for Christmas crackers. So, I turned to him and asked, “What did the grumpy sheep say when the shepherd offered him a black and white sweet?” Baa-hum bug! I’m guessing that because you are ...read more

    Would you agree that Christmas is a time of year when a very important message to the world can easily get buried or missed? Would you agree we can get so excited about 1: Mince Pies 2: Mum’s Christmas Turkey 3: Marks and Spencer’s food 4: Mulled Wine and – most of all 5: My ...read more

    A short talk for our Christmas Pensioners' Praise service but it works for all adult congregations. Some lessons about life and evangelism for all Christians

    I’m going to pick out three snippets of conversation that caused shock in the 1st Century Land that Jesus walked; three bits of conversation that could change the course of the church in Billericay in our time. 1.
