The Gospel. Part 4: What Happens If We Reject Jesus?

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Nov 24, 2020

Without Jesus in our lives, sin takes hold; weeds start to grow up in the garden of our lives. But the consequences for eternity are much more serious. However, does scripture really lead us to expect the 'pains of hell for ever'?

Please note. The passage for this talk is Matthew 25:31-46, however the main focus of the talk is v.46. Part 4: What happens if we reject Jesus? Today we have the fourth and last talk in my series on the gospel. We’re thinking about the question, ‘What happens if we reject Jesus?’ Quite a ...read more

Hell Series

Contributed by Vic Folkert on Jun 11, 2020

What is hell? a) punishment, b) separation from God, c) ruled by evil. Why would God send people to hell? What should we respond to the reality of hell?

HELL—Matthew 25:31-46 Last week, we talked about heaven, and this week, we talk about hell. Why talk about hell? It is not something we talk about with strangers, or even casual acquaintances. Some people—even people we know well—might consider it taboo, worse than talking about politics or ...read more

The Cat's In The Cradle - Father's Day 2020

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jun 21, 2020

Many of us, as Christians, grow up with a "blind spot" just like the Dad in "The Cat's In The Cradle" song. Are we failing to build spiritual relationships just as the Dad in the song failed to build a real Father-Son relationship?

The Cat’s In The Cradle Today we will be reading from 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 Today is Father’s Day. To me it is a confusing day but at the same time it makes sense. It makes sense because a Biblical father is what God planed for the human family. A father who provides for the needs of the ...read more

The Sheep And The Goats

Contributed by Vicki Williamson on Sep 6, 2019

During His time on earth Jesus spoke to the multitudes in stories to convey a spiritual truth about God and His Kingdom. Away from the crowds His disciples turn all their attention to Jesus. He explains to them that the Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure.

At a time before Jesus went to the cross He sat on the Mount of Olives with His disciples. In a private moment with them, they asked about the end of the age and how to inherit the kingdom. Consequently Jesus shared with them the things that will take place and the sign of His coming. He talked ...read more

Happy Surprise At The Judgment

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 27, 2021

Most think that when they stand before God in Judgment, it won't be pleasant, because they know their faults, weaknesses, & selfish. What if instead, we receive from God a ringing commendation and a smile of approval?

Therefore, Do Not Be Anxious!

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Feb 11, 2021

Jesus isn't simply telling us not to be anxious. He's calling us to have a completely different attitude towards material possessions and material needs from the rich fool; to be confident in God and in that confidence, to be rich towards God and others.

‘Do not be anxious.’ That’s what Jesus told his disciples. If only! we might think. Can we banish anxiety from our hearts simply because Jesus tells us to? We’re in a series in Luke, following Jesus and his disciples on their journey from Galilee down to Jerusalem. Their journey starts in Luke ...read more
