    James points out the economic distinctions that we are all too likely to make in our hospitality ministry. But it wouldn’t be too big a leap to talk about racial and immigrant and gender and orientation distinctions at the same time.

    Jesus opens His Kingdom manifesto not with rules but with congratulations. He blesses the weak, the weeping, and the overlooked. These “blessings” are grace-filled announcements that reorient how we see God, ourselves, and the world.

    This message helps people identify what’s broken in their sphere of influence and then develop a vision to be a rebuilder of what’s broken.

    What is it that is broken in your life - something that needs to be rebuilt? Everybody has something that is broken. The most hopeless people in the world are people who recognize that they have a problem, but have no vision from God about how to solve with that problem. Where there is no ...read more

    Now here’s a passage that many Christians use to say that we ought to live in poverty and give away everything we own to the poor. Or the watered down version says that we should never be rich, only just earn enough money to live.

    Matthew 6 – Part 6 - SO ARE YOU SAYING GOD WANTS ME TO BE POOR? I’ve never had all that much money in my life. Still don’t. But I’ve never lived in poverty either. I remember being down to I think $10 in our account. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be rich, but mostly all I want is to ...read more

    Jesus's challenge to the rich young man - Does it leave us discombobulated and feeling uncomfortable? Which of the many interpretations is correct? [This sermon was preached 13 October 2024 when I was the guest preacher at St Nicholas Church Perivale in West London]

    A very wealthy man came to his vicar and said, “Father, I’m having a problem with this tithing thing. You see I made £500,000 dollars last year. If I gave 10% then I’d have to give….” No - before I finish that anecdote - lets do a poll- would you rather be very rich or very poor - hands up ...read more

    How shall we respond when despondent or depressed? God may allow trials in order to drive us to Him. This study of Elijah's downfall seeks to encourage those who are depressed.

And behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said to him, ‘What are you doing here, Elijah?’ He said, ‘I have been very jealous for the LORD, the God of hosts.

    The Bible say's "When you give to the poor you are lending to God", How do we "rob God" we rob God when we neglect the poor!

    “If you are in a poor area…You have to feed them more than the Word!” If you hand a tract to a man that hasn’t eaten in over 24 hours without a sandwich, chances are you won’t reach that man for Jesus Christ!
