    What Are You Doing And What Are You Teaching?

    Contributed by James Lee on Jul 30, 2013
     | 2,569 views

    What if Jesus called you to come and sit down with Him and share everything that you had taught or done? What would tell Him? Being a Christian is more than something you claim. It’s something you live by and share with others.

    What if this story were actually true? “Pastor Jeremiah Steepek transformed himself into a homeless person and went to the 10,000 member church where he was to be introduced as the senior pastor at that morning. He walked around his soon to be church for 30 minutes while it was filling with ...read more

    "Lord, Why Did They Have To Die?" Series

    Contributed by David Henderson on Jul 30, 2013
     | 4,919 views

    Job was a very righteous man. In fact the Bible says that he was blameless and that he feared God and stayed away from evil. A messenger shows up and gives him all kinds of bad news. Your oxen are dead. So are your sheep. Now your servants are dead.

    “Lord why did THEY have to die?” Luke 7:11-16 The time of year was Christmas and my family and I were gathering together to celebrate. We were at my mother’s home in Arkansas. My sister came in; she had her son with her. He was about to turn one. I asked where her husband and ...read more

    Are You Babe Like Or Babyish

    Contributed by Clay Gentry on Aug 1, 2013
     | 6,838 views

    When it comes to your Christian walk are you babe like or babyish? It's an important question that must be answered.

    The Bible is full of figurative language or imagery, used to describe Christians. Christians are compared sheep, soldiers, athletes, brothers and sisters, workers, slaves, children and babes. It’s the last one in our list that I would like to spend some time exploring in this lesson and ask ...read more

    How Is Your Love Life Series

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Aug 12, 2013
     | 4,209 views

    There is too much emphasis in today's preaching about practical and earthly matters concerning earthly love. There is a much higher love life we need to cultivate.

    How is your Love Life? I John 2:15-17 Introduction Last time we met, we discussed the new commandment which was really not new, but was the one which we have had all along. Even though John did not elaborate further on what this command was, it was obvious that it was closely tied to the command ...read more

    When it comes to love, God has set a high bar, Himself.

    We Must Love as God Loves I John 4:7-15 Introduction Last week, we were asked to test the spirits. This is because not every spiritual event comes from the Holy Spirit. There is a spirit of error which comes from the antichrist as well as the Spirit of Truth which comes from God. The Holy Spirit ...read more

    Does Jesus need saving?

    She Finally Found a Good Man John 4:1-18 Life had been tough for the woman. The sun rose on this day without the prospects that anything would be any different. Sunrise was the time which the other women in the village went to draw water and gossip. But not this woman. She was too ashamed to come. ...read more

    By comparing the lives of John the Baptist and Dietrich Bonhoeffer I show that God does not despise our questions and doubts; He uses them to and make us whole.

    Did Jesus Get Mad at This Fellow? Mark 1:39-45 Introduction This morning’s text follows the end of what is presented by Mark as the first day of Jesus’ public ministry.

    John's message of repentance is still as true for us today as it was 2000 years ago!

    Grace, mercy and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. We have entered into a time when rational thinking, reasonableness, honesty, truth, and even humility is considered substandard; considered to be the enemy of progressiveness, seen as distasteful even. We live in ...read more

    This message was penned and preached to remind us that being in everyone else's business and judging them is not as Christian as we think. There are texts that address this but this message is for those holier than thou people in churches everywhere.

    This is part two of my 2014 New Year's Message for Christ Church Billericay. I look at mission and pray and whilst doing say consider the harvest field, hostility, hospitality, healing and heaven's kingdom!

    Last week was part one of my New Year’s message and today is part two. Last week I summarised the final words of Jesus to the disciples as this: “Go, make disciples, baptise them; teach them to obey.” I also quoted David Watson from thirty years ago and related it to our locality ...read more
