    Only Jesus could sit with the most educated men in Israel and astound them.

    The last time, I spoke of all the signs that pointed to Messiah being born when He was and where He was and that no one seemed to care, remember or just plain covered it up. I thought this would be a good starting point for a look at the life of Christ through the scriptures We are told precious ...read more

    When we receive the bread and wine during Holy Communion, we are holding Christ’s very body and blood, which was nailed to the cross and poured out for our forgiveness. We have seen it with our own eyes and felt it with our own hands and on our tongues.

    Have you ever heard of the old saying, “Good things come to those who wait”? If so, the story of Simeon, Anna and the baby Jesus in the temple in Lune 2:22-40 is a good example. The coming of Christ involved all manner of waiting on God. A young maiden, a dying man and an old widow all ...read more

    There are I believe three important character traits that we as Christians would do well to adopt for ourselves in the character of Mary the Mother of Jesus 1. Her humility 2. Her commitment to God and 3. Her bravery.

    TSL 31-01-2016 Sermon I would like to focus on one short phrase this morning from our Gospel reading. And it is the personal words that Simeon says to Mary: 34 ……..And a sword will pierce your own soul too.” Simeon has been prophesying about Jesus’s future ...read more

    We are seeing Jesus from a alphabetically speaking, and now winding down to "Y". Jesus was a youth and not much is said in the scriptures, but Luke tells us "The child grew and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon Him." (2:40) When He ...read more

    A huge part of the Great Commission is to make disciples, which is known as “discipleship.” This message answers the questions: “Where are we supposed to be doing this?” and “How are we supposed to be discipling others?”

    In the Great Commission, Jesus commanded, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:19-20).
