    Advent: Slow Down! Sharpen Your Axe.

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Nov 28, 2010
    based on 14 ratings
     | 6,973 views

    A short talk for the start of the busy Advent season. This talk uses one of may favourite stories to encourage people to rest, stop, slow down in the midst of a busy time to rest.

    Jesus said, “Come with me … to a quiet place and get some rest” (Mark 6:31). One of my favourite stories is about the world wood chopping competition. Now the champion was a bit older than he used to be – well, who isn’t – but he was still the champion. Everyone ...read more

    A short talk given at our December Pensioners' Praise. During the year our theme has been The Promises of God and I was asked to talk about God's promise to Mary.

    An Angel is a Messenger of God, and the Messenger said: “Do not be afraid, Mary. You have found favour with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus” (30-31). If a Messenger from God were to say to me, “Warner, do not be afraid. You have ...read more

    Grateful Worship

     | 5,355 views

    A very short talk given at a midweek Communion service, looking at the firstfruits brought to the Temple. Today, our offerings should also be used to bless the foreigner, the asylum seeker and the Priest!

    I wonder how you will react when in just a moment I rephrase verse eleven of this Bible reading. We’ve just heard about an important act of worship in the life of Israel. As a response of thanks and praise to God for bringing them into the Land he promised (26:3), worshippers were required ...read more

    Even if we successfully and rightly destroy the obstacles, fortify, and depend on the LORD for revival and peace, what is gained will be shallow and short-lived without an active commitment to Whole-Hearted Perseverance!

    WHOLE-HEARTED PERSEVERANCE Fourth in Series – “Peace That Expands & Lasts: Lessons from Asa” 2 Chronicles 15:1-19 Rev. Todd G. Leupold, Perth Bible Church, Sunday 8/24/2008 AM INTRODUCTION: So far, in examining the lessons from King Asa regarding revival and turning a state of chaos into one of ...read more

    A short sermon using baseball images to explain how Christians can feel pain despite Christ’s High Priestly prayer "protect them from the evil one."

    In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Three in One who provides your place in the Church and won’t give it away to anyone beside you. It was a nightgame. I was 11 years old and playing catcher. The pitcher threw to the outside of the strike zone and to my ...read more

    Never Too Late?

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Sep 19, 2006
     | 3,943 views

    This is a short talk given at a lunch for mainly elderly people, many of whom have known recent bereavement, and some of whom may not yet consider themselves Christians or Church Members.

    Never too late? Shortly after I passed my driving test I was due to travel from my then home in Yateley, Hampshire, UK for a weekend away somewhere in Wales. It was the furthest I had ever driven at the time and my mother very kindly allowed me to use her car. Sadly the car was (for me back then) ...read more

    A short talk encouraging us to know Jesus - and when we know him, he helps us to know who we really are, and who we can become.

    Jesus takes his disciples aside and asks them, “What about you? Who do you say I am?” (16:15). A teaching assistant accused of looting. An 11 year old girl appears in court and admits breaking windows in Nottingham. Teenagers appear before Magistrates with no parent in attendance. Magistrates ask, ...read more

    How God's people fuss over various doctrinal differences! To their own loss, for there is truth on both sides. Also a short history of the struggle, including a look at Pelagius, Calvin, and Arminius.

    A POINTED DISCUSSION ABOUT THE AMAZING GRACE OF GOD The 5 points of Arminianism and of Calvinism. Reviewed, questioned, affirmed Preface I must say at the outset that the following paper was meant to be as fair and balanced as possible, giving as much Scriptural weight to one side as the other, and ...read more

    Discovering The Depths Of God’s Love

     | 9,866 views

    It is important to understand there is a huge difference between knowing that God loves you and experiencing God’s love in your life. This is where so many people fall short.

    Song of Solomon 1:1-17 If you would ask somebody to quote John 3:16, there would be few people who could not do it, particularly people who attend church. But, if you would ask them what it meant you might not get the right answer. They could tell you the Bible says that God loves the world, but ...read more

    A short talk given at our annual Memorial Service where we invite family members to come and give thanks for the life of a loved one who has died recently.

    Throughout my life I have been encouraged by the faith and by the actions of some very unlikely people. During the summer I spent some time talking to people with a variety of disabilities and impairments and I have to say I found myself both inspired and uplifted.

    A short message for Christmas that the only perfect gift is Jesus, but we are better gifts to other people far more than anything we can buy, and God wants us!

    YOU ARE A GIFT Sometimes I feel like Charlie Brown - picking the wrong tree. Everyone even Snoopy is laughing. But then Linus tells him what Christmas really means - not trees or presents. Mark Driscoll: Spanish for "more Jesus." REBELLION? God planned salvation since the beginning of ...read more
