    Who are you serving in your mionistry whatever it is? It needs to be God alone if it’s to be authentic ministry

    I wonder whether you’ve given any thought during the week to what we saw last week as we looked at Malachi 1. It was quite challenging wasn’t it? Were you conscious, as you exercised your various ministries for God this week, of the things that motivated you? Were you conscious of the need to focus ...read more

    The evidence for the resurrection is overwhelming. And it’s so important to our faith. If God the Father can’t raise his own sinless Son then he can’t raise us either. But the resurrection is true. And we can prove it beyond any doubt.

    SERMON: The Case for Resurrection (Psalm 19:14) May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Amen. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Two school children were walking together, and one said to the ...read more

    The fool says in his heart, "there is no God."

    The word “fool” doesn’t get as much use now as it once did. If one of my mates does something profoundly stupid I don’t usually cry out “you fool”. I might say “you are such an idiot” or “what a goose”. I’m sure many people you know would use much more colourful language than that. Fool is one of ...read more

    This morning we are going to look at the life of a man who was nothing more than a deceiver. We are going to examine his life, to learn how his life changed for the better.
