The Good Shepherd

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Apr 21, 2018

Jesus said that He was the Good Shepherd, the kind of Shepherd that looks after and protects the sheep - Jesus not only preached this but lived up to it to the full, even to dying so as to protect the sheep.

The Good Shepherd John 10: 11-18 Today’s reading is part of a dialogue which culminates in one of the ‘I AM’ saying of Jesus. St John’s gospel is renowned for its I AM sayings as it gives a unique picture of Jesus and the characteristics of the Son of God. Those two words in themselves are very ...read more

Matthew 5 - Part 15 - Sex, Adultery, Lust And Gouging Your Eye Out! Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jan 5, 2010

I notice when Jesus confronts me, He goes for the heart. I am amazed at what I am capable of tolerating in my life unless I actively choose to His way to deal with it. I need to be vigilant in this important area concerning my thought life.

Matthew 5 - Part 15 - SEX, ADULTERY, LUST AND GOUGING YOUR EYE OUT!

I May Be Buried But I Am Not Broken

Contributed by Major Stewart on Dec 24, 2025

This sermon explores Holy Saturday faith, teaching that silence, burial, and darkness are not defeat. Through Jesus’ tomb, Joseph, Nicodemus, and Mary, we learn God works underground, preparing resurrection, renewal, and hope. You may be buried, but not broken, yet.

My brothers and sisters, we step into a moment of Scripture where the noise has died down. The crowd has gone home. The cross is empty. Jesus has been taken down, wrapped in linen, and laid in a tomb. The voice that calmed storms is now silent. John writes this passage not as a detached ...read more
