17) Reverencing God In Prayer Series

Contributed by Brandon Max on Jan 17, 2022

In The Lord's Prayer Jesus begins in recognising: Who God Is... Where God is at... and What His name Represents. In other words He acknowledges: 1) The Person; 2) The Place; And 3) The Position of our Lord. Let us now look to His example in Prayer.

Message - Psalm 44 Sons Of Korah - Two Sides Of Life Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 18, 2022

The message examines faith and trust in operation. The Psalmist recognised the care of Almighty God in Israel’s affairs, even in the midst of doubt. Our faith should be strong but often it is fickle. The Psalmist went through time of trust and bouts of doubt.

The Power And Wisdom Of The Cross - 1 Corinthians 1:18 Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Nov 15, 2024

The cross is central to the Christian faith. Yet, for many, it seems absurd, irrelevant, or offensive. Paul’s declaration in 1 Corinthians 1:18 divides humanity into two groups: those who see the cross as foolishness and those who recognise it as the power of God.

The Power and Wisdom of the Cross - 1 Corinthians 1:18 Key Verse: “The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God.” (1 Corinthians 1:18, NLT) Introduction: Transformed by Truth The cross is central to the ...read more

The True Vine Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Apr 16, 2021

Jesus the True Vine is the Only source of spiritual life. For us to know if we are a true disciple or a fake disciple we need recognise the difference between the Father bringing us through a difficult pruning process, or the Father cutting us off.

Message John 15:1 I Am The True Vine There are seven “I am” passages of Jesus … the last of which is found in John 15:1-6 (read) I suspect there are plenty of us who remember the “I am the vine; you are the branches” part. I wonder how many also remembered the “I am the vine, and my Father is ...read more

He Has Shown You, O Man

Contributed by Ewen Huffman on Mar 31, 2004

A sermon given at the London School of Theology. When things go wrong in our lives God is the first to get blamed! Here, God challenges the Jews to remember (his past goodness) and recognise (that THEY are in fact the ones who have grieved Him)

Micah 6:1-8. LBC (London School of Theology). Monday 10th Jan 94 Walking home from work one lunchtime this week I passed one of the guys I know in the street (because his son’s a christian...) sweeping snow off his car.

Part 8 - Matthew 12:22-28 - I’m An Atheist And I Intend To Stay That Way! Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Oct 9, 2010

His recovery was amazing. An answer to prayer! I introduced myself. He looked at me, recognised who I was immediately, and said vehemently, "I’m an ATHEIST and I intend to stay that way!" His response to Christ as he had faced the possibility of death was

Give Us Today The Food That We Need

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Nov 11, 2012

A short talk from a series on the Lord's Prayer at our evening service. To pray, "Give us today our daily bread" is to recognise that God is the giver. It may also require us to be part of the answer to other people's prayers as per James 2:15-16.

The Lord’s Prayer is the model for prayer taught by Jesus. It is the skeleton, the frame, upon which we build when we pray. Yes, we can and do pray it word for word, but if we think the Lord’s Prayer is like a fixed recipe, or worse, if we think this model prayer is like a spell, or ...read more

Moving On With God: The Next Step With Money Series

Contributed by Ewen Huffman on Jun 13, 2003

our attitude to money can be a real block to God’s blessing in our lives. We need to recognise 1) "The Power of money"... work towards 2) "The Pacifying of money" and see 3) "The Potential of money" for blessing in our lives and the Kingdom of God

Jephthah = Rejection – Victory – And Disaster - All In The One Cup - Part 1 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 6, 2022

Illegitimate, rejected, expelled, Jephthah became a recognised warrior. The ones who ill-treated him crawled to him for help against the Ammonites who were invading the country. There is much of human nature playing out in this account. We examine that. PART 1 of two parts.

In The Presence Of The King On The Road

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on May 7, 2014

A short talk given at a Wednesday morning communion service reflecting upon Jesus drawing alongside the disciples on the road to Emmaus. He listened, rebuked and ate with them. What can we learn from this?

Two disciples, not from the original band of 12, but two other disciples are walking from Jerusalem to Emmaus. It’s a little later on the same day that Jesus rose from the dead (24:13) and these two are discussing the events of recent days, including the fact that some of the women from their ...read more

Season For Figs

Contributed by Samuel M on Jan 21, 2024

Jesus expected the fig tree to bear fruit even when it was not the season for figs. God is more concerned with His seasons, and expects us to live according to His seasons and not based on worldly seasons

And seeing from afar a fig tree having leaves, He went to see if perhaps He would find something on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. Mark 11:13 The fig tree was in tune with the world's seasons but not with God’s seasons. As per the ...read more
