    Emergency Planning

    Contributed by Richard Down on Jan 7, 2011
     | 5,311 views

    Emergency planning means getting ready for when things go wrong. This sermon considers how well we are prepared for things to go wrong in our Christian lives and how God can lift us back up when we fall.

    Many years ago when I was rather younger and fitter than I am now I was a member of a local Rescue Team. Our remit was partly Mountain Rescue but since the mountains in our area were rather made up of hills and moors this was not the dramatic role you might expect. We tended to get calls to assist ...read more

    Jesus had spent time with the disciples, preparing them for the work of ministry. He had instructed them on where to go, what to do, and how to conduct themselves among men. Then He shared the difficulty they would face as they served Him, being rejected by most.

    Courage to Serve Matthew 10: 16-22 Jesus had commissioned the twelve for ministry, providing detailed instruction regarding the work they were expected to perform. Jesus had told them where to go, what to take, and how to conduct themselves as they ministered among men. Now Jesus offered insight ...read more

    All over our nation, there is unmistakeable evidence that that there are those who want to bar Christ from Christmas.

    During my prayer time and preparation for this sermon, the Lord kept talking to my heart about gardening. You have to understand that when it comes to having a green thumb, I flunk in that area very poorly.

    This sermon was written after my wife birthed our third child stillborn. It came from my heart and I hope that it will help you prepare to help others or even begin to heal you hurt.

    Intro: In a world starved for life. Life without aging, life without pain, life without hurt, how do we as Christ followers respond to loss? Do we scream and yell because we don’t understand, sometimes, do we talk it out, sometimes, do we tell God we’re angry and we want to know why, of course. ...read more

    The inbreak of God, whether now or in the day of His return, is both judgment and blessing. But if we are always prepared, we can handle the judgment without being destroyed and can receive blessings even though disguised.

    If we prepare, we can handle just about anything. Preparation allows us to handle both negatives and positives. If we are ready, we can take the negatives and deal with the blows that fall on us. And if we are ready, we can also enjoy the positives and receive the blessings. When I was growing ...read more

    A devotional talk prepared for a men’s breakfast about how the Holy Spirit tries to communicate with us if we allow Him to. I also invited the men to share "Holy Nudges" that happened to them.

    God As Trinity Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jan 18, 2011
     | 4,391 views

    God as Trinity teaches us that relationships matter, that evangelism is an imperative, that joy in community is central to the Christian life and it gives us a living hope that God has a future prepared for us in the new heaven and the new earth.

    This is a series based on and heavily dependent on Timothy Keller’s Best Seller "The Reason For God" for which I’m deeply grateful. It uses much of his argument though with various additions by myself or the other preachers of the series. What is God like? What’s your image of ...read more
