  • Letters Of Recommendation

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 27, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,869 views

    Ministers are just postmen, delivering a message of instruction from God... What kind of letters of Christ are we?

    LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION. 2 Corinthians 3:1-6. Amongst the many difficulties which the Apostle Paul faced in relation to the church which he had founded in Corinth was the existence of self-styled super-apostles who were nothing but peddlers, “making gain by corrupting the word of God” (2 ...read more

  • Jesus Will Return

    Contributed by Ian Lyall on Sep 28, 2005
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,243 views

    That Jesus will return is a constant theme of the New Testament and a basic Christian teaching. His return could be near. Are we ready?

    I’ve read recently about an inscription on the Dome of the Capitol building in Washington. It’s placed where few can see it. It’s a line from the poet Tennyson: One far-off divine event to which all history moves. That ’one far-off divine event’ is the one we pray for every time we say ’Thy ...read more

  • I Believe Series

     | 5,642 views

    "I believe" are perhaps the hardest words of the Apostle’s Creed to state. Faith is under attack, but it is absolutely essential.

    During World War II allied armies marched into Germany on their way to Berlin. Retreating German soldiers switched road signs and destroyed landmarks in an effort to confuse their enemy. And, to an extent, it worked, for many a G.I. followed a false marker only to end up in the wrong place. That ...read more

  • Tales Of Vomit, Tanin, Poop And Love Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,231 views

    It’s like looking at Jesus on the cross. We can look at him on the cross and see how much he loves us. But it’s too big. How are we meant to copy that? So Jesus shows us something we can copy. He kneels down and washes his followers feet.

    This sermon was first preached Maundy Thursday 2017 at St Barnabas Church Northolt. A version of it was then preached at Holy Trinity Tooting Maundy Thurday 2025 ....................................................................................................................................

  • God's Blueprint For The Church

    Contributed by Steve Hereford on Jun 29, 2007
    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,336 views

    What is the church to do? If you ask modern church growth experts they would say we are to become more appealing to reach the lost. But what does the Bible say we are to do? Join Pastor Steve as he shares "God’s Blueprint for the Church."

    John MacDuff said, "The gods of the unregenerate soul are the world, self, and sin" (Grace Gems). He’s right! But in the seeker-sensitive church those three words have been ignored. We are told that the church today needs to be "light on doctrine" (quoted in an article on the Seeker-Sensitive ...read more

  • Doing What He Asks Of Us

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Apr 5, 2007
     | 2,032 views

    A short but challenging homily. The disciples were sent to go and get a donkey for Jesus. How do we respond when Jesus asks things of us?

    I have some Christian friends who were convinced about 2 years ago that God was asking them to buy their local pub and to continue to run it as a pub with food and alcohol being served. (At this point those of you who are anti alcohol – for whatever reason - may already be feeling sceptical, but ...read more

     | 3,942 views

    I believe you may be healed by standing on God? s Word; check it out for yourself starting by analysing Isaiah 53 and 1 Peter 2: 24.

    A very important scripture in healing has to be Isaiah 53. These words were prophesied about 2,700 years ago. Verse 1 " Who hath believed our report and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? " According to a person I know who reads Hebrew and understands the same, he says Isaiah 53: 1 sets the ...read more

  • Re-Creating The Effective Pastoral Minister Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 6, 2015
     | 4,152 views

    It is important that those involved in pastoral ministry be focused on their goal, not on their comfort.

    Thursday of the third Week in Lent Joy of the Gospel Jesus shares with us today an unforgettable phrase: “He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.” The image this summons up is of a shepherd and His flock. Jesus came to gather together the ...read more

  • Close To The Kingdom

    based on 16 ratings
     | 3,359 views

    An examination of a biblical character demonstrating the need of a vital relationship with Jesus Christ and not just a respectable alignment with a popular religious understanding.

    CLOSE TO THE KINGDOM Scripture: Mark 12:28-40 Jesus had skilfully answered the Pharisee’s questions and avoided their trap. (v.13) The scribe in today’s lesson was quite pleased with the answers and stepped forward with some questions of his own. Scribes were professionals whose occupation was to ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 14,957 views

    "These things are written" so that we too "might believe, and receive life through the name of Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God."

    THE RISEN LORD. John 20:19-31. The first half of this chapter concerned the empty tomb, and its impact upon three individuals. This second half concerns two appearances of the risen Lord to the gathered church, and includes John’s version of the great commission. It also contains the profession ...read more

  • Signs In Abundance

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,295 views

    Our compassionate Lord and the leaven of the hypocrites.

    SIGNS IN ABUNDANCE. Matthew 15:29-39; Matthew 16:1-12. 1. Jesus headed towards the Sea of Galilee, and again great multitudes gathered around Him, bringing the “lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others” (Matthew 15:29-30).

    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,542 views

    Lack of faith makes us carnal.

    MORE MIRACLES AND SIGNS. Mark 8:1-26. We have had occasion before to comment on Jesus’ compassion (cf. Mark 6:34). Now we see it in relation to another hungry crowd of worshippers, who had been willingly following Jesus for three days (Mark 8:1-3). How like us the disciples were, who ...read more

    Expanding our understanding of the Kingdom, Embracing our call to be a Witness, and, Encountering the power of the Spirit.

    Pre-Reading Introduction Before we come to our reading, a brief word of introduction. Three things: 1. It’s always good to bear in mind that the book of Acts is a sequel – it’s part 2. Luke first wrote the Gospel that bears his name. 2. In Acts 1:1, Luke says in his Gospel he wrote about what ...read more

     | 10,063 views

    John 20 gives us a picture of the different ways that people can respond to the Resurrection

    Reacting To The Risen Lord John 20:1-9 I have been amazed at the continuing reporting of the assassination of President JFK. And the remarkable diversity that is present in the various eyewitness accounts. Discrepancy over the number of shots that were fired to the locations from which they were ...read more

  • God Wants A Church For Forgiven Sinners Who Get A Jesus Welcome

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Aug 22, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,875 views

    Saul was formerly a ’Preacher of Hate’. He was once a Religious Terrorist! After his dramatic conversion Saul, like us, was a forgiven sinner. He received a Jesus welcome into the Church from Ananias and Barnabas. That’s the Church God wants!

    He was once a religious fanatic and a religious terrorist at the same time. He was once a preacher of hate. There was a time when he was “breathing out murderous threats against followers of Jesus” (9:1). Saul! We heard last week that Saul’s conversion was as dramatic as the transformation which ...read more
