    Contributed by Colin Coombs on Jun 10, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,229 views

    Here is a wonderful example of the need of man, and the seeking saviour comming to his aid. Beware, there will be opposition, but responding brings blessing.

    THE MAN AT THE POOL John 5:1-18 This third of the miracles recorded in John’s Gospel finds a place there, as it would appear, . . . because it is the occasion for that great utterance of our Lord about His Sonship and His divine working as the Father also works, which occupies the whole of the ...read more

    A look at the eternal Word. How did it all begin? What does it all mean for us? How are we to respond?

    John 1:1-14. The Awesome Word. How did it all begin? I would like to put it like this from John chapter one. "The Word of eternity became the Word of humanity so that the people of humanity could become the people of eternity." Men since the enlightenment period (age of reason) have ...read more

     | 3,401 views

    We know that Jesus will be the final determining factor, but even that will be based on how you and I responded to all the other factors.

    THE DETERMINING FACTOR Heb 3:14 14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; Have you ever said, “I should have, or, If I had only, If it hadn’t been for? There are factors that determine the outcome of almost ...read more

    At the end of the age, Jesus will settle the score and every person will receive what they deserve based on how they have responded to Jesus.

    This week I came across a letter that was written to Probe Ministries. It reads, in part: I write to you feeling perturbed about God. At times I really wonder the question of His existence. I would appreciate if you could enlighten me in the area of trusting in God. I find it hard to trust Him ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,545 views

    A short sermon challenging us to think about what it means for us to be model Christian citizens, responding to the generosity of God.

    Titus 3: 1-7 These seven verses contain a beautiful summary of the Gospel, the Good News of the Lord Jesus. They also contain a simple summary of what it means to be a model Christian citizen in a non Christian society. It now seems true to say that the UK is no longer a Christian country. We ...read more

    How do we respond when asked to follow Christ. Do we shoot out a quick "Yeah but.." ?

    How Jesus Dealt With Rejection

    Contributed by Spencer Miller on Mar 10, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,859 views

    How should we deal with or respond to rejection? It’s a very good question especially when it comes to the Church.

    The now infamous Lance Armstrong once said, “A boo is a lot louder than a cheer.” And he actually hit the nail on the head, because no one wants to be rejected. It can make you come to the conclusion Oprah Winfrey came to when she said, “I don’t want anyone who doesn’t want me” because no one ...read more
