    Worship services are first and foremost to offer worship to God through Christ Jesus, rather than satisfy the attendee. Many have lost sight of the fact that Church services are more about the attendee giving than receiving.

    “I used to attend congregational worship services but I quit because I got nothing from it.” “Church is boring.” “When I sit in the pew during church services, I think about how much more I could be accomplishing if I had stayed home.” Through the decades, I have heard a multitude of people ...read more

    Christians have a Memorial Day each and every first day of the week. “Do this in remembrance of me” The Lord’s Supper is a memorial that allows us to remember what Jesus did for us on the cross.

    Remembering is so very important. There are people, places and events that we remember. We leave ourselves reminder notes to help us remember to get things done on time. A man was working in his backyard one day, when his neighbor began talking to him over the fence. He said, "Yeah, my wife and I ...read more

    Zephaniah is a little read and a little known Old Testament Prophecy but it is an important message for the world and for the Church. God will deal with evil, and there will come a day when he will rejoice over us with singing!

    Five years ago I was invited to preach on this Bible passage at a service of ‘Evensong’ in Winchester Cathedral. When I was given the Bible passage (Zephaniah chapter 3) my first reaction was Zeph and what? I quickly realised there was a pun crying out to be used and so for a few days I tried it ...read more

    A study of the first congregation of the Lord provides us with the example of a church without walls. The members did gather for worship, but they were compelled to penetrate their world to tell others of Jesus. We must do the same in this day.

Devout men buried Stephen and made great lamentation over him. But Saul was ravaging the church, and entering house after ...read more
