    This message looks at the calling God has placed on the lives of all Christians and how He wants us to use us right where we are.

    - This passage is structured like a Big Mac: vv. 17, 20, 24 as the bread (pointing out that we are to remain in the situation where we were called) and vv. 18-19 and 21-23 as the meat (giving two illustrations of that). Three Questions On Being Used By God: 1. How many Christians are called? ...read more

    "WHY I GO TO CHURCH" Romans 1:8-13 A little old man was seen every Sunday morning walking to church.

    The bible is God’s love letter.

    Mail Call Long before the days of e-mail, web sites, instant messaging, cell phones and fax machines, all we had were hand written letters. When US servicemen deployed overseas in defense of their country, the two most longed for words were: Mail Call! Men lived to receive a letter from home. It ...read more

    We want two things when we suffer; for the suffering to stop, and for it to stop now. But the Bible has a different perspective

Il) see suffering, we want to alleviate it, rescue the cat in the tree, the puppies stuck in the drainpipe, the horse that has fallen through the ice. ` 2. James in this passage is not ...read more

    The first section of chapter 3 dealing with our speech but in the context of "active" Christian living for others not a totally separate secton

    Speech is the most creative and most destructive force in all of creation. Two little words, "God said" repeated 13 times in Genesis 1-3 and we have our current situation. Our paradise created with us in mind has been stripped away because of our sin and we bear the punishment for it. It is our ...read more

    Fifteenth Sunday in Course The Prophet July 12, 2009 All over the temperate zone, fruit from the varieties of fig and sycamore are ripening now, and so the Church gives us a reading from the migrant worker, Amos, the reluctant prophet.

    As we look at marriage, we need to understand what is going on in the U.S. by contrasting God’s plan to man’s variations upon it.

    We All Suffer When Families Are Messed Up 1. When gospel singer Larnelle Harris and his wife Mitzy had their first big argument, they began to pray that God would teach them how to "fight fair." Larnelle wrote, "Why did we pray like that? Because for us divorce is not an option. We know that as ...read more

    Would I Lie To You? (Abraham On Honesty And Lying)

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 3, 2006
    based on 48 ratings
     | 9,417 views

    This passage uses Abraham’s deception as a chance to look at why we fudge the truth so often and what the consequences of our lies are.

    - Lies are a common part of our everyday lives. In fact, some of us believe that we can’t function in society without telling our share of “little white lies.” - Abraham here demonstrates aptly for us both the reasons we lie and the consequences of our untruths. WHY WE LIE: 1. We get stuck in ...read more

     | 2,848 views

    With the UK General Election only 4 days away I am not telling people who to vote for but I want people to vote, and to vote for men and women who display the Beatitudes - the Beautiful Attitudes of Jesus.

    What are you looking for in your local Member of Parliament, or your local Town Councillor? Is it the colour of their tie; or is it the colour of their character? In our first Bible reading this morning we heard an extract from a letter written by St. Paul to his apprentice Timothy. He was ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,294 views

    If the resurrection is true, we need to do something about it! Respond to it. This is a fairly short talk encouraging first time commitments to Jesus

    If Jesus Christ did not rise from the dead then most of what we do as a Church is a waste of time. If Jesus Christ was not raised then my job is almost entirely meaningless and I am wasting my life away; but if Jesus Christ was truly raised then we have the most important message for the world, for ...read more
