  • Christmas Without Christ Is Meaningless

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Dec 6, 2000
    based on 117 ratings
     | 13,984 views

    Christmas without Christ is a contradiction in terms but the antidote is to hear the Word of the Angel and the Worship of the Heavenly Choir, to follow the Witness of the hepherds and ponder the Wonder of Mary.

    Many of us have had more Christmases than we care to remember! We half dread it’s coming because of the superficial spirit brought on by the build up of publicity to enter into the spirit of the festive season. The business world, it has to be said, with an eye on the cash till, seizes upon the ...read more

  • Voices By The River

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Dec 8, 2000
    based on 125 ratings
     | 6,605 views

    John the Baptist was the forerunner of the Messiah appearing at the River Jordan where crowds gathered to hear the Voice of the Prophet announcing Jesus as the Lamb of God and the Voice of God confirming him as his beloved Son

    VOICES BY THE RIVER JORDAN Quite frequently we read in the papers of sightings of unidentified flying objects - UFOs. Quite probably they don’t exist, but just suppose they did. What would those people from outer space make of planet Earth? Well, for sure, they would think it was very noisy. ...read more

  • The Advent Hymn To Christ Series

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Dec 10, 2000
    based on 134 ratings
     | 7,599 views

    We need to see the real person of Christ , not a stained-glass window version, for he was the Eternal Son becoming the Emptied Servant and is now the Exalted Lord.

    THE ADVENT HYMN TO CHRIST The Advent season has come around again. What does it all mean? To the world in general and to us? For those in the marketplace of commerce, it’s a time of expectation of the cash till ringing, with everyone who can buying presents. For the man and woman in the ...read more

  • New Year Assurance In Paul's Triumph Song

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Jan 6, 2001
    based on 90 ratings
     | 4,925 views

    The Christians in Rome were apprehensive as to the future so Paul diagnoses the Problem and finds the Solution in Christ which gives us assurance in entering the New Year.

    NEW YEAR ASSURANCE IN PAUL’S TRIUMPH SONG "What will this year bring?" I expect that all of us in our private thoughts, or even spoken, have wondered what’s in store for us. I can’t tell you what will happen, but I suspect that 2008 will be much like 2007. The Earth has been circling the sun a ...read more

  • Two Contrasting Cities - Babylon And Jerusalem

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Jan 13, 2001
    based on 114 ratings
     | 8,948 views

    The two cities symbolise diametrically opposed principles, Jerusalem represents the eternal while Babylon depicts the earthly having no abiding value.

    TWO CONTRASTING CITIES - BABYLON AND JERUSALM Books which outlive the generation in which they were written are called “classics”. On e of these which I remember from my schooldays is Charles Dickens’ story of the French Revolution, "A Tale of Two Cities". It concerned a family caught up in those ...read more

  • The Choice For Life

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Mar 5, 2001
    based on 205 ratings
     | 19,745 views

    Jesus urges his listeners to the Sermon on the Mount to make The Choice for Life in entering the Kingdom of God, in terms of Two Gates, Two Ways, Two Destinations and Two Crowds.

    Jesus was a wonderful teacher. He had the knack of making His teaching on the Kingdom of God interesting and easily understood by the use of graphic pictures. There’s a good example of this in two verses in our reading from Matthew’s account of the Sermon on the Mount: "Enter through the narrow ...read more

  • The Transforming Gospel

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Mar 10, 2001
    based on 194 ratings
     | 27,469 views

    Paul makes a special plea to his friend Philemon concerning his run-away slave but now a Christian, showing how the gospel transforms all relationships.

    THE TRANSFORMING GOSPEL Letter writing is almost a lost art. We’d rather pick up the phone or dash off an e-mail but I’m glad that Paul used pen and ink. Doubtless Paul, being a man of letters and bubbling over with ideas for the spread of the gospel, must have written many ...read more

  • Doubting Thomas Encounters The Risen Lord

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Mar 15, 2001
    based on 348 ratings
     | 36,577 views

    Thomas heard of the resurrection second-hand and had to have a personal encounter with Jesus before he came to faith.

    DOUBTING THOMAS ENCOUNTERS THE RISEN LORD The first Easter Sunday morning was a time of indescribable joy - Jesus had risen from the dead. Friday was the day of the funeral, but Sunday turned it into a festival! It was almost too good to be true. The disciples could hardly take it in. One ...read more

  • Marred And Made Again

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Mar 16, 2001
    based on 161 ratings
     | 18,267 views

    Jeremiah’s visit to the potter’s workshop was the means of God’s giving him an acted-parable of what he could do with the marred nation of Israel and mankind in general.

    MARRED AND MADE AGAIN One of the pleasures of being away from home on holiday is to have the opportunity of just standing and staring at interesting sights, such as a craftsman at work - perhaps a potter. The prophet Jeremiah did this once. He tells us what he saw: "The pot he was shaping from ...read more

  • The Spiritual Saga Of Ishmael And Isaac

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Mar 21, 2001
    based on 109 ratings
     | 9,336 views

    Paul uses the story of Ishmael and Isaac and their mothers to demonstrate that the Galatian believers were in danger of abandoning the Gospel of grace in Jesus, with fascinating contrasts historically and allegorically, ever relevant for today.

    THE SPIRITUAL SAGA OF ISHMAEL AND ISAAC The most casual reader of the Bible will notice that the Scriptures consist of 2 sections - the Old and New Testaments. But have you ever thought how are they related to each other? Someone made the interesting comment about the 2 Testaments that ...read more

  • So Send I You

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Mar 24, 2001
    based on 111 ratings
     | 24,670 views

    Before Jesus returned to heaven he gave his disciples the Great Commission, to be his representatives in making known the Gospel, following the pattern of his mission to Earth, the Same Method, the Same Motivation and the Same Means.

    SO SEND I YOU The farewell words of a Christian leader are listened to with special attention. The Bible records the parting speeches of some of it’s great characters as they hand the torch of witness to a new generation, but the farewell speech that I would have most liked to ...read more

  • Prayer Texting

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Sep 21, 2006
    based on 14 ratings
     | 3,348 views

    Texting on my mobile was a parable on praying.

    Most children and many adults have a mobile. It’s a valuable tool of communication, not only as a portable phone, but also in word messages known as ‘texting’. We were on holiday in Canada and found it so useful to keep in touch with our family by sending and receiving text messages as we ...read more

  • The Blind See, The Sighted Are Blind

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Oct 30, 2006
    based on 30 ratings
     | 11,123 views

    The miracle of a blind man receiving his sight addresses the Problem of Affliction and Healing and that criticism by the Pharisees brought out both negative and positive reaction.

    There’s a saying that ‘There’s none as blind as those who won’t see!’ As Helen Keller said: ‘What would be worse than being born blind? To have sight without vision.’ It’s certainly true in the encounter that Jesus had with the Pharisees on the occasion when He healed a man who had been born ...read more

  • Remembrance Day Poppy

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Nov 4, 2006
    based on 60 ratings
     | 18,459 views

    The Poppy used on Remembrance Sunday is a symbol of sacrifice by brave men and women in warfare but the Christian Church also has a symbol of sacrifice in the Cross of Jesus

    What is so special about a poppy on Remembrance Day? Why not use a pansy? Scarlet poppies grow naturally in conditions of disturbed earth throughout Western Europe. The destruction brought by the Napoleonic wars of the early 19th Century, transformed bare land into fields of blood red poppies, ...read more

  • Remembrance Day And The Suffering Church

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Nov 10, 2006
    based on 10 ratings
     | 6,563 views

    Many churches link Remembrance Day and the Suffering Church finding help in both life situations in David’s testimony of God who Forgives, Heals, Preserve, Provides and Satisfies

    On Remembrance Day we’re reminded by the two minutes silence of the suffering and sacrifice by ordinary men and women in the interests of their nation and cherished values. It’s also appropriate to link Remembrance with the Persecuted and Suffering Church. Here in Britain the Christian Church ...read more
