  • Merciful But Tough: The Story Of The Woman Caught In Adultery Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Mar 25, 2023
     | 1,834 views

    Jesus showed mercy to the woman caught in adultery. But he didn't water down his demands.

    INTRODUCTION I imagine we really like this story of the woman caught in adultery. We especially like the fact that Jesus didn’t condemn the woman – even though the religious experts said that she should be stoned. But as we reflect on the story, we find that it gives us some quite uncomfortable ...read more

  • Fixing The Problem

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Mar 25, 2023
     | 1,001 views

    Why did Jesus have to die on a cross? This is a simple and fairly brief presentation of the gospel.

    Last week we looked at the story of Adam and Eve. After God created humankind, Adam and Eve were initially in good relationship with God. But God warned them that if they ate the fruit of a certain tree they would die. It wasn’t that the fruit of this tree was poisonous. The issue was disobeying ...read more

  • Zechariah’s Remarkable Prophecy

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Apr 1, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,509 views

    Zechariah's prophecy about Jesus' riding a donkey into Jerusalem leads us to look at what else Zechariah had to say about Jesus. It's all about him being king.

    Today it’s Palm Sunday. We remember the occasion when, just a week before he was crucified, Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. In a sense, nothing very remarkable happened. 2,000 years ago – as we all know – there were no cars or buses or lorries. If people were going somewhere they would ...read more

  • Jesus' Resurrection: The Supreme Fact

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Apr 8, 2023
     | 1,059 views

    Jesus' resurrection means our resurrection. Jesus' resurrection shows us what our resurrection will be like. And our redemption paves the way for the redemption of all creation. It's a wonderful prospect!

    What does Easter Sunday mean to you? Does it mean a lot or a little? Does the fact that Jesus rose from the dead change very much for you? THE RESURRECTION IS THE SUPREME FACT OF HISTORY When I was at school, I read a little booklet called ‘The Evidence for the Resurrection’. It’s by someone ...read more

  • Camels And Needles

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Feb 8, 2025
     | 375 views

    Jesus said that it is harder for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle. Totally impossible - and yet, not for God. We explore the idea in a children's / family service with the help of some glass ships in glass bottles.

    THIS WAS A TALK FOR A FAMILY SERVICE, GIVEN IN THREE PARTS. PART 1: A glass ship in a glass bottle Perhaps you have a jug at home that’s made of Pyrex. [EXAMPLE.] This kind of jug can withstand high temperatures. You can put it in the oven and you can put it in the freezer. That’s because it’s ...read more

  • Running The Race

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Mar 1, 2025
     | 522 views

    The New Testament likens the Christian life to running a race. We look at how it uses the metaphor. It calls us to strive, to improve, and to stay the course.

    INTRODUCTION The writer of the Letter to the Hebrews wrote: ‘Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.’ The writer imagined the Christian life as a race – a race that requires endurance. We’re presently in a series in which we’re looking at items in the news. In some of the ...read more

  • God's Power

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Mar 8, 2025
     | 155 views

    God is more powerful than any other power. He gives his people power. We need to grasp how powerful God is and go to him for power.

    THIS TALK WAS FOR A FAMILY SERVICE IN WHICH THE CHILDREN STAY IN PART 1, EARLIER IN THE SERVICE: PHYSICAL FORCES There are different kinds of forces. For example, I can put my hands on Priscilla’s [my wife’s] shoulders and … hey presto! … she goes down. The force is coming from my hands on her ...read more

  • The Supreme Fact Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Mar 22, 2025
     | 535 views

    Jesus' resurrection is the supreme fact of history. We need to grasp it firmly as a truth. Everything else builds on it.

    Easter talk, No.1 Let’s suppose some components arrive in a factory. They’re inspected. They pass the inspection and they continue into the factory. There was a fact: the components passed the inspection. The fact led to a decision: the components are received. We may not work in business or ...read more

  • In God's Throne Room Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Sep 22, 2022
     | 1,293 views

    A time will come when God will convene his court and pass judgement on the world. Justice will be done. God, in acting justly, will be glorified. Satan’s dominion will be destroyed, and the saints will possess the kingdom. It starts in a court room.

    INTRODUCTION Revelation is a difficult book. We can’t deny that. The fact that it’s difficult might put us off reading it. But as well as being difficult, many Christians don’t like Revelation’s message. Among other things, it talks about tribulation and wrath and judgment. Other parts of the ...read more

  • Talk 2. The Great Tribulation Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Sep 22, 2022
     | 2,608 views

    In the days before his crucifixion Jesus warned his disciples of what lay ahead. Here in Revelation, Jesus warns us of what lies ahead. The Great Tribulation will be painful. But it is a step on the way to a glorious future. Our task will be to remain faithful.

    In Revelation 7, John sees ‘a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to ...read more

  • Harvest Is Bigger. God Does More.

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Oct 1, 2022
     | 3,843 views

    At our harvest festival we usually think of food, crops. But we need to expand our concept of harvest. We also need to recognize just how much God is involved in providing for us.

    Today is our Harvest Thanksgiving service. It’s a time to thank God for the harvest. But what exactly are we thanking God for? I want to do two things today. The first thing is to encourage us to see harvest as something bigger than what the combine harvester picks up. The second thing is to ...read more

  • John Eats A Scroll Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Oct 29, 2022
     | 1,123 views

    God's purposes in Revelation are reaching a climax as the seventh trumpet is about to be sounded. A mighty angel declares, 'There will be no more delay.' And then, he gives John a scroll to eat and tells him he must prophesy. Why?

    N.B. This is the fourth of a series of talks on Revelation. The first three talks are titled: In God’s Throne Room The Great Tribulation Environmental Devastation in End Times INTRODUCTION Today we’re continuing in our series on Revelation. I’ve called the series ‘Revelation: The Hard Parts.’ ...read more

  • Environmental Devastation In End Times

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Oct 29, 2022
     | 1,270 views

    The scientists tell us that the world is headed for environmental catastrophe. That's what Revelation says too. What should we think about it?

    INTRODUCTION Today we’re returning to Revelation after a month’s break. This is my third talk. I’ve called the series ‘Revelation: The Hard Parts.’ I’m consciously diving into some of the hard parts of Revelation – the parts that preachers generally avoid. But these hard parts are in the Bible ...read more

  • God Of Second Chances

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Nov 5, 2022
     | 4,731 views

    Jesus' restoring Peter after he denied him shows that he's in the business of giving second chances. He's also given us an example to follow.

    BACK STORY In our children’s story we heard about Peter denying Jesus. Peter failed. But Peter shouldn’t have been the one to fail. He was Peter the rock. He was supposed to be the strong one, the solid one. But Peter had brought it on himself. Jesus told his disciples what would happen to ...read more

  • God Of Salvation

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jul 11, 2021
     | 1,824 views

    God wanted to spare the people of Nineveh. He didn't want them to face his judgement. But first, he had to save his servant Jonah. Being inside a big fish in the depths of the sea wasn't Jonah's real problem.

    Today we’re continuing our series in Jonah. My first talk was titled ‘God of compassion’. Nineveh, the capital of Assyria, was wicked. God described it as wicked and historians tell us that Assyria was wicked. It wasn’t just a little bit wicked. One historian of the Middle East wrote that ...read more
