The rich man had exceedingly many flocks and herds. "But the poor man had nothing, except one little ewe lamb which he had bought and ...read more

    The title is slightly tongue in cheek, but essentially this is an all-age talk given at a Baptism service where we had an extra 100 guests, many of whom were seekers, sceptics, and not-yet-Christians. The point of the talk was to tell people that being a

    A short talk on father's day at a baptism service. Lots of visitors perhaps not sure about the person and message of Jesus so this is a parable-style short challenge for them.

    Nit Pickers And Drop Givers

    Contributed by Rev Ken Shedenhelm on Jul 6, 2013
     | 3,144 views

    The love we sow is the love we will reap. One of the marks of the church is the love which members show to one another, We are called to love one another as Christ loves us, and Paul speaks to this in his letter to the church at Galatia.

    As Christians, we are called- even commanded- to love one another as Christ loves us. This is a daunting task, but it is also the seed we must sow. The good news is that we can do it- if we become new creations in Christ, we can show His love to others in meaningful and concrete ways. This morning, ...read more

    THE THEFT OF A VINEYARD. 1 Kings 21:1-21. Some of us have had the privilege of living in a land where, on paper at least, there was no trespass law.
