    A short talk / sermon given at a local school for Holocaust Memorial Day. I was asked to talk about Rwanda, so include reference to my 2007 visit, plus up to date story / testimony. Be encouraged!

    Rwanda is a tiny country in Central Africa, a bit bigger than Northern Ireland, with a population of over 8 million people, and thousands of hills. Rwanda is a beautiful country of hills, mountains, forests, lakes, laughing children, markets full of busy people, drummers, dancers, skilled workers ...read more

    God Loves A Hilarious Giver!

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on May 23, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,772 views

    God loves a cheerful, hilarious giver. This is a short all-age appropriate talk using a story and the giving out of chocolates to help people think about the resources God wants them to use hilariously for him.

    On one occasion Jesus said: “Give; and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you” (Luke 6:38). God is so good to me. God is so generous. St Paul once wrote that ...read more

    Why Jesus Concentrated On Only Twelve Disciples

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Sep 17, 2006
     | 2,902 views

    Jesus concentrated on teaching, training and developing twelve disciples into church leaders. By putting quality ahead of quantity, the Lord set a pattern for how godly leaders are to develop. There can be no short cuts to developing leaders for the churc

    Why Jesus Concentrated on Only Twelve Disciples by Paul Fritz Mark 3:14-3:14 In a world where bigger is usually assorted with better, it seems that Jesus might be considered a failure by today’s standards.

    What is a cynic? Oxford English Dictionary describes a cynic as a person “disposed to rail or find fault” and as one who “shows a disposition to disbelieve in … sincerity… and is wont to express this by sneers and sarcasm.” In short, the cynic is “a s

    God's Word Is Alive!

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Oct 18, 2006
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,171 views

    God’s word is indeed alive! This short sermon focuses on God’s word which tells us of our sin and also tells us that there is somewhere we can go to find grace and mercy.

    The words we have just heard from ‘Hebrews’ are important words for us. They were originally written to Jews who had become Christians; and the book as a whole affirms the authority of scripture, emphasising that the gospel of Jesus Christ brings the Old Testament to completion. They are important ...read more

    The Cowboy Postcard

     | 7,931 views

    In the old silent movies you could tell the good guys by their white hats and the villains by their black hats. There are two "good guys" and one "bad guy" in this short postcard. This Bible study examines them and their character.

    The Cowboy Postcard Series: New Testament Postcards Chuck Sligh January 27, 2013 TEXT: Please turn in your Bibles to 3 John INTRODUCTION We have a tendency to look at the past through rose-tinted glasses.

    In The Presence Of The King On The Road

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on May 7, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,751 views

    A short talk given at a Wednesday morning communion service reflecting upon Jesus drawing alongside the disciples on the road to Emmaus. He listened, rebuked and ate with them. What can we learn from this?

    Two disciples, not from the original band of 12, but two other disciples are walking from Jerusalem to Emmaus. It’s a little later on the same day that Jesus rose from the dead (24:13) and these two are discussing the events of recent days, including the fact that some of the women from their ...read more

    Christ: Our Saviour And Our Example

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Apr 5, 2012
     | 6,089 views

    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

    God-Given Dreams (Mother's Day)

    Contributed by Chris Surber on May 12, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,102 views

    Of all of the dreams that God has given to women it occurs to me that probably no other dream is of a higher nature than that of being a mother. A mother’s love for her children is, at times, nothing short of astonishing.

    “God-Given Dreams” Acts 16:9-15 Introduction To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out for another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk exposing our true self; to place your ideas, your dreams, before the crowd is to risk ...read more

    In Mark 4, Mark continues to record Jesus' short parables about the growth of God's kingdom. In this sermon, we learn four "miracle grow" principles for kingdom growth.

    Introduction: A. Let’s begin with a question: How many of you like to garden? 1. Let’s ask a follow-up question: How many of you consider yourselves good gardeners? 2. There is a difference between liking to garden and being good at it, right? 3. I don’t consider myself a gardener, but let me ...read more

    Called To Serve

    Contributed by Michael Bates on Sep 14, 2023
     | 11,979 views

    Every Christian is called to serve in the ministry. Only a select few are called into full-time pastoral ministry, but many others are called to serve God in other capacities. This short sermon explores that calling a little further.

    The Bible says in 1 Peter 4:10-11: Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength ...read more
