    How would you like to receive a Christmas card with the figure of John the Baptist on it, saying— You “brood of vipers” (Matthew 3:7)?

    How would you like to receive a Christmas card with the figure of John the Baptist on it, saying— You “brood of vipers” (Matthew 3:7)? The expression means malice. He reminded them of God’s wrath, which is not the emotion of anger, but God’s holiness that brings judgement in its train of glory. ...read more

    John threatened the Pharisees and Sadducees that God would cut them down. We are all cut down to size from time to time, and we need it.

    12.8.19 Matthew 3:10 Already the ax is ready to strike the root of the trees. So every tree that does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. God has compared Himself to a dove, an eagle, a lion, a tower, a fortress, a counselor and a friend. Today God puts on the ...read more

    Centuries before Jesus was born, Isaiah prophesied that Israel's warfare would be accomplished, and her iniquity pardoned. Who are we at war with? How is iniquity pardoned? And what does that have to do with Christmas?

    Please open your Bibles to Isaiah 40. As we begin the season of Advent, we are going to look at some very familiar words from the Old Testament, particularly if you are a fan of Handel’s Messiah: “The voice of one crying: In the wilderness prepare the way of theLord. Make straight in the desert a ...read more

    John the Baptist's message of repentance is just as controversial today as it was in in his day. It was a message that caused people to think and evaluate what they were doing and why. It does the same today? Ready for some controversy?

    Throughout history there have been many controversial characters: kings and queens, presidents and politicians, artists, actors and song writers, scientists and CEOs. What is it that made them so controversial? By what they did or said, they made people uncomfortable, forcing people to have to ...read more

    John, Mary, Jesus. Would any of us doubt that they were blessed, blessed by their faith in the enduring presence and redemption of God?

    Sixth Sunday in Course year C There is a very unexpected expression in today’s reading from St. Luke. The most literal translation reads: Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude you and revile you, and cast out your name as evil, on account of the Son of man! Rejoice in that ...read more

    When trying to start a new church, we often think we should send church planters to the largest populated areas. However, both John the Baptist and Jesus preached in the wilderness, and people came to them where they were!

    I have entitled our message for this evening, “God Abides in Small Places.” Abide means, to dwell and to continue in a place. The Lord can be found abiding – and alive and well – in small places; and it is very important for us to be reminded of this fact because of America’s belief that “bigger ...read more

    From my experience, those who have been baptised straight after conversion are stronger in their faith, as baptism is the first step forward in one’s walk with the Lord. We study the subject of water baptism in the light of scriptural practice. Some insights from over the years of my life.

    CHRISTIAN BAPTISM – THE FIRST STEP IN AN OBEDIENT WALK WITH THE LORD – A CHAT ON BAPTISM NOTE:- In this message I have put in writing, I am using the English spellings that I know differ from some American spellings.
