     | 13,526 views

    A call to unity in the church

    Let’s turn in our bible to Mark Chapter 2 verse 1 and then when we have found that keep your finger in there and then turn to Luke 5:17 OK, let’s read the Mark passage first: 1A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. 2So many gathered that there ...read more

    A message to encourage intimacy with the Lord

    It feels like a long time since I’ve stood up here, but every time I go abroad and come back to church the only thing I really feel like saying is, “it’s good to be home.” I’ve been visiting the Middle East as part of my job now for about 6 months – and it might surprise you to learn that when I ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,691 views

    So often Christmas is a let down instead of full of joy - could it be because our focus is on us not Him?

    There is a story told of a young lad who wrote a more unusual letter to Santa, not asking for this toy or that one but saying: ‘you didn’t bring me anything good last year or the year before. This is your last chance’! You know a bit like that boy we all know that often Christmas often can be a ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,788 views

    People tend to think the Trinity doesn’t matter & is an hindrance & obstacle to real faith, but this is not true - sincerity is no substitute for truth.

    Psalm 8 2 Corinthians 13: v 5-14 A story is told of a little girl drawing, when her mother asks what it is she is sketching. ‘I am drawing a picture of God’ she said. The Mother tells her this is impossible, as no-one knows what God looks like; when the girl says ‘Well they will when I’m ...read more

    A message for Covenant Sunday thinking about how the new year can be held back by fear, using Joshua, Caleb & John Wesley to show a better way where the future is seen as our friend..

    Jeremiah 31.31-34 Numbers 13 It is natural at times like the turn of a new year to think about how time passes – well of course it flies! It is 28 years since Maggie came to power. 41 since England won world cup and 7 whole years have passed since the millennium celebrations. I remember the ...read more

  • Test Me In This

    Contributed by Joseph Neil Adams on Jan 1, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,630 views

    I felt challenged to preach this because of the un-biblical approach to giving in my largest Church, & try to explain that our giving either honours or dishonours God.

    Proverbs 3:1-18 Malachi 3:6-12 Texts: Proverbs 3:9 -10 ‘Honour the LORD with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine. ’ Malachi 3:10 ‘Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may ...read more

  • Faith Fear & The Holy Spirit At Pentecost

    Contributed by Joseph Neil Adams on Jan 1, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,324 views

    Jesus told us to wait for the Holy Spirit because He knew that faith alone would not be enough.

    Acts 2:1-13 Acts 1:1-17, 21-26 Like Easter or Christmas we know exactly what will hear today don’t we?! Pentecost is the pivotal point in history of Church; it is the birthday of the Church, the day when the powerful Spirit of God was infused into early Church. Today I want us to think about the ...read more

  • Pentecost - Withdrawing

    Contributed by Joseph Neil Adams on Jan 1, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,688 views

    We sometimes picture the Holy Spirit as fire, chaos & activity, but the Spirit is about withdrawing & silence too.

    Ezekiel 37: 1 – 14 Acts 2:1-13 Two very famous readings today. The Old Testament lesson from Ezekiel 37 tells of the powerful wonderful vision of the Holy Spirit bringing life to that which was dead, & of course how could we not have Acts 2, Luke’s account of the Spirit falling that first ...read more

  • The Older Brother

    based on 14 ratings
     | 5,761 views

    A message that takes a look at the prodigal son parable from the perspective of the other son.

    (This message was preached at a United Service with Anglican’s & URC from our town - including my old College Principal!) Luke 15 : 11 - 32 Religious people criticized Jesus because he ate with sinners & so He told this story. A story so familiar to us who have been attending churches – yes? ...read more

  • The Purpose Of The Church

    Contributed by Joseph Neil Adams on Jan 1, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,926 views

    The 2 priority purposes of the Church are to bring glory to God & to bring people to know God. Anything that gets in the way of that is just window dressing.

    Matthew 28:16-20 Romans 15:1-13 Question: What is the purpose of Church? What does it do for us / for the community? Answers: Shouted out answers during the service included to share our faith, to bring glory to God, to be Jesus hands and feet. The problem is what would God say should be ...read more

  • Naaman's Healing

    Contributed by Joseph Neil Adams on Jan 3, 2008
    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,698 views

    Naaman’s pride almost prevents a healing, but are we that different?

    2 Kings 5 Most of us have the trappings of power and privilege: we live in one of the wealthiest countries with one of the highest standards of living. We live in an age our grandparents could never have dreamed of. We are not unlike Naaman in the story in 2 Kings 5. But he had to learn an ...read more

    A simple message about Pentecost used at Women’s fellowship’s & shorter Holy Communion services.

    If only one of us could win the lottery! Imagine how much better your life would be. You would have the power to control your own destiny, at least that’s what the nice people at the National Lottery believe. If only because just think of all the things you could buy – new house, car - & I hope ...read more

     | 5,410 views

    A simple introduction to prayer for a Church that didn’t pray together

    Genesis 18:23-33 Luke 11:1-13 You know I hear more comments about how difficult it is to pray or how confusing it is that God sometimes seems to answer and other times doesn’t or how God doesn’t really hear us or how nothing really changes because of our prayers. So I figure we need some teaching ...read more

    A midnight Holy Communion address about the significance of the Nativity for us & the world

    Hebrews 1: 1 - 4 Isaiah 9: 2 - 7 Luke 2: 1 - 7 The writer of the Hebrews letter or epistle gets excited at the start. He says this is how things were, but now WOW! Maybe because we have heard all of this, the story of Christmas and the incarnation, we lose some of excitement he felt. We take for ...read more
