    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Mar 3, 2022

     | 6,954 views

    In the Beatitudes, Jesus states eight or nine things which result in us being 'blessed' - meaning, happy or fortunate. They are right at the heart of being right with God and they are very different to the things which most people think will make them happy or fortunate.

    INTRODUCTION Last week we finished our series of six talks on the theme ‘Great Messages of Encouragement’. We’re now starting a new series of talks on the Sermon on the Mount. I don’t know how many talks we’ll have on it, but it will be more than six! What is ‘the Sermon on the Mount’? Well, ...read more

    Just because a decisive path seems right doesn't mean it's the right one. But that does not mean it is wrong either. When at a crossroad, we must, therefore, ask and trust God to show us which way to go.

    YOUR CROSSROADS AND GOD'S ROADMAP "This is what the Lord says: “Stop at the crossroads and look around. Ask for the old, godly way, and walk in it. Travel its path, and you will find rest for your souls. But you reply, ‘No, that’s not the road we want!’ Jeremiah 6:16. Just because a ...read more

    If you don't think you are good enough for God to use you (seen from a human perspective) you are quite right and if you think you are good enough to be used by God you are quite right (if your empowerment is by the call of God).

    God is not into CONVENTIONAL WISDOM Story: Just before I was appointed as Head of the Group Patent Department at Reckitts in 1994, I was given a psychological assessment.

    You were made with a life purpose. The prophet Jeremiah put it this way, “I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.” You were born with a purpose and plan in mind

    The Call to Follow Mark 8:31-35 USA Today did a survey asking people, “If you could ask God any question, what would it be?” The number one response was “What is my life’s purpose?'” All of us in the church were blown away by Rick Warren’s book, “A Purpose ...read more

    This is the third and final sermon in the series and the most powerful. It was lengthy and had to be broken into two parts to get it properly preached, especially as it motivated me to follow several "rabit trails" and really impacted people's lives.

     | 5,686 views

    Christians are to live for the Lord by belonging to the Lord and each other and by accepting each other and appreciating them by not being judgmental or argumentative.

    Last week we noted from the end of Romans 13 that Christians are to live at the right time and the right place. If Christians do not grasp the truth that Jesus Christ can return to earth at any time, they will not have the right motive or the right power to live! When we get up in the morning, we ...read more
