     | 2,928 views

    In this gospel narrative, not only are we going to encounter a resurrection before THE resurrection, we’re also going to encounter a Jesus who sees not only the brokenness of the world, but does something about it.

    Listen to some of these crazy Easter traditions from different places around the world. In Australia, it’s become very popular to replace chocolate bunnies with chocolate marsupials called Biblys (I guess nothing says Happy Easter like chewing on a chocolate hamster ear). In the town of Haux, ...read more

    Message 11 in a series through James that helps us explore the relationship between faith and works in our lives. James was the half-brother of Jesus and the leader of the church in Jerusalem.

    We are officially 21 days away from Christmas morning. Anyone NOT have their Christmas tree up by now? Everyone else look around and take note of these people that might not love Jesus.

    I hope that since we gathered together last time that your week has been filled with perfect people, perfect circumstances, a stream of positivity coming from your favorite news source.

    Pastor John Ortberg writes about the time he and his wife went fly-fishing for the first time: He says: “Our guides told us that ‘to catch a fish you have to think like a fish.’ They said that to a fish life is about the maximum gratification of appetite at the minimum expenditure of energy.

    Jesus's challenge to the rich young man - Does it leave us discombobulated and feeling uncomfortable? Which of the many interpretations is correct? [This sermon was preached 13 October 2024 when I was the guest preacher at St Nicholas Church Perivale in West London]

    A very wealthy man came to his vicar and said, “Father, I’m having a problem with this tithing thing. You see I made £500,000 dollars last year. If I gave 10% then I’d have to give….” No - before I finish that anecdote - lets do a poll- would you rather be very rich or very poor - hands up ...read more

     | 2,751 views

    Whenever we are faced with a situation, what is within our hearts will shine forth. Jesus said the things we say and do are generated from what is in our heart. This message addresses the question "What fills my cup?"

    What Fills My Cup? Scripture: Matthew 12:34-37; Ephesians 3:16-19; Colossians 1:9-10 Good morning, Strangers Rest. Jesus said in Matthew 12:34-37, “(34) Brood of vipers!

    Message 9 in an expositional series through Paul's "second" letter to the church in the ancient Greek city of Corinth where he defends his apostleship and corrects serious doctrinal errors within this young church.

    Finish this sentence for me: “This is going to hurt me… (more than its going to hurt you).” That is a lie that parents have been telling since the beginning of time. I grew up in the age of corporal punishment (i.e. paddling at home and at school). And while I’ll admit to having doled out a few ...read more

    Palm Sunday: This message on "The Triumphal Entry" teaches us some things about worship, concerning what we should be thankful for and what we should celebrate when we find ourselves in the presence of the one true King, Jesus Christ.

    One Palm Sunday, a little boy had a sore throat and had to stay home from church with a babysitter. When the rest of the family came home, they were carrying palm branches; and the little boy asked what they were for.
