    Contributed by Steve Shepherd on Aug 1, 2005
    based on 128 ratings
     | 6,992 views

    Most people want some happiness in life but do they find it? Not where they might think.

    INTRO.- Why would I preach about seeking happiness? Because I think this is a goal that most people have in life. Most people would like to have a certain amount of happiness in life and they go looking for it in all kinds of ways but they don’t always find it. Haven’t you noticed? The world ...read more

    …. one of the four Servant songs. The message seems to be about the nation of Israel at face value. However, the message can be applied to when Jesus came in the first advent. Jesus literally embodied what this text meant as a prophecy that was fulfilled through Him.

    Isaiah 42:1-9 1. "Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him and he will bring justice to the nations. 2. He will not shout or cry out, or raise his voice in the streets. 3. A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he ...read more

    A talk given at our ’Pensioners Praise’ service. Jesus said his sheep know his voice. This talk encourages people to want to know Him.

    A Shepherd loses his sheep, goes into a pub and hears it calling him. Which bit of the pub does he head for: The bar! A few years ago I was reading a book by Stephen Gaukroger. He tells the story of a New York Methodist minister who saw the need to bring his ‘ninety nine righteous’ sheep back ...read more

    Part 2 of 4 in an introductory series on the Holy Spirit, looking at who He is and how He works in our lives.

    INTRODUCTION: John 16 is what I would describe as a fundamental passage on the Holy Spirit.

    After healing the demoniac, Jesus sent the demons into the pigs who ran into the sea and drown. Those who watched seem more concerned about the pigs than about the healing of this man. A microcosm of today????

    PIGS OR PEOPLE; SWINE OR SOULS Jerry Watts Mark 5:6-20 * Chapter 5 is very interesting. It contains 43 verses with 2 major stories. Each of these stories, as we’ll come to see, has a ‘story in a story’. It is the kind of narrative which escapes the casual or superficial reader. ...read more
