    This event teaches us something about God, something about people and something about entry into God’s kingdom. The sermon challenges Christians in our attitudes towards children in particular.

    Today’s Bible reading tells us something about God. It tells us something about people; and it tells us something about entry into God’s Kingdom. It tells us that some people will enter God’s kingdom and it tells us that some people will not enter God’s kingdom. In Luke’s gospel today’s Bible ...read more

    With the Church at the perephery of many lives and Baptism no longer the "done thing" it is an act of faith in itself when parents bring young children for baptism.

    Truly I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will never enter it."

     | 4,197 views

    What are those things that bring your heart closer to God and what are those that drive you further away? We learn them from studying contrasts in people Jesus tells us about or encounters in this chapter.

    This is a chapter of contrasts. There are two kinds of people represented here: those that think they have it together, and those that know they don’t. Jesus gives us the contrast between them by showing us various different portraits. I think the idea is to give us a picture of what our approach ...read more

    The key to healthy prayer is more than a technique; it is a healthy attitude. Let's look at six attitudes that lead to a satisfying and effective prayer life.

    Prayer Attitudes J. C. Ryle once wrote, "If I know anything of a Christian's heart, you are often sick of your own prayers." You go to pray but you can't think of what to say. Or you tell God he's awesome, and a second later you recall that the Honda needs an oil change. You promise God that ...read more
