  • A Christian Olympic Champion

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Aug 11, 2004
    based on 70 ratings
     | 4,852 views

    The story of Eric Liddle who won the gold medal for the 400 metres in the Paris olympics of 1924 and remained true to his Christian faith, featured in the film "Chariots of Fire".

    A CHRISTIAN OLYMPIC CHAMPION Here’s a symbol I’m sure you’ll recognise: it’s the Olympic Rings ( http://farrer.riv.csu.edu.au/ASGAP/APOL9/olympic.gif ) I wonder if you know what they represent? It’s the five continents – Africa, the Americas, Asia, Australia, and Europe. You see how they’re all ...read more

  • Walking On Water

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Jun 18, 2005
    based on 25 ratings
     | 8,017 views

    The Christian life is like "Walking on Water" and to do it successfully we need to be assured that Jesus Prays for Us; He’s Present with Us, Helps Us to cope with Fear and Urges Us to Move Out in Faith.

    WALKING ON WATER “Walking on water” – this is a biblical phrase which has found its way in everyday use. What does it mean? The secular meaning is that a person is doing wonders - but we can’t quite understand how they’re doing it and there’s a hint of danger that it could all go wrong! The ...read more

  • The Magnificat

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Dec 30, 2003
    based on 54 ratings
     | 20,710 views

    Mary’s Song is her response to her calling to be the mother of the Messiah and is a Personal Testimony to God’s grace and a Prophetic Testament to God’s redemptive purposes.

    THE MAGNIFICAT The Magnificat is one of the most beautiful songs of the Christian faith - it’s Mary’s Song. William Barclay writes: "There’s a loveliness in the Magnificat but in that loveliness there’s dynamite." It’s revolutionary because the world’s values are turned upside down. I read that ...read more

  • Putting Christ Back Into Christmas

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Dec 30, 2003
    based on 44 ratings
     | 4,642 views

    A parable comparing a jigsaw with a piece missing to Christmas without Christ.

    Here’s a Christmas cracker type of puzzle: "Why is Christmas without Jesus like this jigsaw?" (Hold up a picture made to look like a jigsaw but with a piece missing.) Answer: "Because it’s got a piece missing!" Of course the word ’piece’ of the jigsaw is spelt differently from in the Christmas ...read more

  • Micah - Prophet Of The Messiah's Advent Series

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Jan 17, 2005
    based on 38 ratings
     | 24,140 views

    Micah is the Prophet of the Messiah’s Advent, presenting the Salvation history of mankind - through Ruin caused by sin, temporary Reformation, proving the absolute need for Redemption by Jesus and Restoration of God’s Kingdom.

    The book of Micah isn’t one that springs to mind except perhaps at Christmas when we remember the well known verse, “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you be small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will rule over Israel, whose origins are from old, from ancient time” ...read more

  • The Magnet

    based on 57 ratings
     | 4,146 views

    A children’s ilustration of the power of a magnet to attract iron as a parable telling that Christians have a similar response to God.

    THE MAGNET I was doing a repair job out of doors when unfortunately I dropped a tin of small nails on the gravel driveway. It was important that none be left mixed up in the gravel as I didn’t want the car to get a puncture! But it was difficult to find them among the loose gravel. Then I ...read more

  • Leap Year

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Feb 10, 2008
    based on 10 ratings
     | 3,804 views

    In Leap Year, an extra day is given, but our days on Earth are few and uncertain, unlike God who is eternal but through faith in Jesus we may have eternal life with Him.

    One of the most frequent words in the Bible is the word ‘Day’. It’s used many hundreds of occasions because we’re living in time. When God created the world Genesis tells us it was over 6 days – how long those days were is not really known but on each we’re told ‘there was evening and there was ...read more

  • Zephaniah's Message Of 'the Day Of The Lord' Series

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Sep 17, 2008
    based on 5 ratings
     | 20,986 views

    Zephaniah tells how ’The Day of the Lord’ affects the nations either for punishment of the non-repentant and blessing for believers in the ’Now’ and ’Not Yet’.

    ZEPHANIAH’S MESSAGE OF ‘THE DAY OF THE LORD’ The Old Testament prophets were commissioned by Jehovah, the God of Israel, to ‘hear the Word of the Lord’ and then to speak it out to the people, whether or not they were willing to receive it. Often they were unwilling hearers. In many cases the ...read more

  • Amazing Grace, The Story Of John Newton

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Jan 18, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,182 views

    When the spiritual life of the Christian Church is at a low ebb God raises up chosen servants to a revival of the Christian faith.

    AMAZING GRACE, THE STORY OF JOHN NEWTON The stories of men and women’s lives recorded in Scripture are often used in sermons to illustrate truths to help us in our own spiritual pilgrimage. The biographies of Christian leaders in more recent times can also be very interesting and helpful. I read ...read more

  • Dead And Alive! Volcanic Rock And Coal! Series

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Feb 3, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,332 views

    The difference between volcanic rock and coal is a parable of the unbeliever and the saved by grace.

    DEAD AND ALIVE, VOLCANIC ROCK AND COAL! I’ve got two contrasting objects to show you (show). Here’s a piece of volcanic rock and here’s a piece of coal. They’re both minerals but so different! One is burnt out but the other is alive! When I went to Italy on holiday, one of the tours was to ...read more

  • The Gospel Came

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Jul 6, 2008
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,388 views

    The Gospel is the Good News of Jesus Christ in the Word of God and Paul tells us What it is, How it came and What we should do with it.

    THE GOSPEL CAME One of the most frequently used words in the Christian church is the word ‘gospel’. It is of course the ‘Good News’ of the Lord Jesus Christ. The gospel is the most important message that we can ever hear. George Whitefield was preaching and noticed an old man settling down for ...read more

  • The Door With No Handle Series

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Sep 25, 2007
    based on 24 ratings
     | 13,662 views

    The painting by Holman Hunt shows Jesus outside a door with no handle requesting entry but will he be admitted?

    Take a look at this picture. It’s a rather famous painting by an artist whose name was Holman Hunt. The original is hung in St Paul’s Cathedral in London. If you look at it closely there’s something rather odd about it. Can you spot it? It’s unusual because it’s a door with no handle! Now ...read more

  • Triumphant In Temptation

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Jan 18, 2008
    based on 10 ratings
     | 4,366 views

    Temptation is as old as mankind, seen first in the Prototype in the Garden of Eden when the First Adam fell, but the Second Adam was Triumphant in the Wilderness from which we can be forearmed to meet Satan’s temptations.

    Why does God allow temptation? That, together with the origin of evil, are great mysteries and they’re closely related. The Bible gives us no explanation as to the ultimate origin of evil but is undoubtedly connected with the devil. When we open the pages of Scripture he already existed. The ...read more

  • Christmas Gifts Series

    Fable of a couple who wanted to be like God and received more than they bargained for!

    CHRISTMAS GIFTS Did you have some good presents this Christmas? Perhaps you wish you had more? Sometimes it’s easy to be greedy and not be satisfied with what we’ve got. There’s a fable of a couple living in poor circumstances who were given the opportunity to make four wishes, guaranteed to ...read more

  • Xmas Or Christmas? Series

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Dec 15, 2008
    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,780 views

    The abbreviation ’Xmas’ annoys some Christians but it has a message worth hearing.

    Xmas or CHRISTmas ? I used to get annoyed when I saw the word ‘Xmas’ as an abbreviation for ‘Christmas’ as it seemed to take something of the wonder out of the story of Jesus coming to our world as a baby in order to become the Saviour of the World. It was all part of the commercialising this ...read more
