    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Apr 13, 2024
     | 1,582 views

    What a beautiful transformation is granted to us by the Son of God who came to the cross for us. We have passed from slaves in the bondage of sin, to become sons of God and heirs, and joint heirs with Christ. All is of God’s grace.

    based on 10 ratings

    The main theme is mission, realistic mission as it might look today in a small church - it might be hard but not impossible (Also particularly suitable for Trinity Sunday).

    Isaiah 6:1-8 This morning I’m going to be speaking to you about mission. I wonder what you think of when you hear the word mission? Perhaps it’s the films called “Mission Impossible”, or the earlier television series of the same name. Maybe we think of companies or worldwide organizations that ...read more

    3rd in long series on Joshua. This is about the temptation to settle in, to give up when it gets hard, to accept less than the best.

    Joshua 1:12-18 – Settling In an old Peanuts cartoon, Lucy demanded that her brother Linus change TV channels and then threatened him with her fist if he didn’t. "What makes you think you can walk right in here and take over?" asked Linus. "These five fingers," said Lucy. ...read more

    We desire, and expect God’s forgiveness when we ask. But it is so hard to offer that forgiveness to others when they sin against us.

    Forgive? Who Me? Matthew 18:21-35 I remember this story about a famous person in American history, and for the life of me, I can’t remember who it was. Anyway, this person was asked one Sunday afternoon about the worship service he attended that morning. “What did the preacher preach about?” ...read more

    God encourages Paul when he was discouraged. Ministry is hard work, but God is in it with you. Your circumstances do not determine how you fare.

    THE TOOL CALLED ‘DISCOURAGEMENT’ Once upon a time, the Devil decided to have a garage sale and sell all the tools of his trade. There were envy, jealousy, hatred, deceit, pride, idolatry and many others. Each of the tools was marked with its own price tag. On the day of the big sale, all were ...read more

    Tuesday of the 6th Week of Easter 2020 Most of the time we go about our lives without anything big troubling them. In fact, most days we could, if we wished, live our lives as if nothing will ever trouble them. The lack of huge events from outside our own will as we go from day to day means that ...read more
