    You Can Resist A Lion Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Feb 12, 2022
     | 2,052 views

    We may imagine that we could never resist a lion. But lions will cross our path and Peter tells us to resist them.

    [N.B. Earlier in the service we had a short presentation on Rosa Parks.] Today we’re continuing our series of ‘Great Messages of Encouragement’. We’ve had four talks so far. We’ve remembered that God will be with us. That he will strengthen those who wait on him. That there’s a glory to come ...read more

    The Supreme Fact

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Apr 5, 2021
     | 1,884 views

    Jesus' resurrection is the supreme fact in history and the supreme fact for every believer.

    INTRODUCTION I’d like to start by telling you a bit about the time in my life after I became a Christian. I became a Christian when I was about ten. For a few years life went on much as before. Then I went on to secondary school. It was a private boarding school. When I started it was an ...read more

    A Gift For Jesus

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Dec 13, 2025
     | 126 views

    At Christmas, we celebrate Jesus's birthday. He gave US a great gift! What was it? And what gift would he like from us?

    This was the talk for our 2025 carol service. The children would stay in, and it needed to be a maximum of ten minutes. On a particular day every year, my family makes a big fuss of me. They blow up balloons. They get a cake and put some candles on it. They sing a song. They give me cards. They ...read more

    The Characters In Jesus's Birth

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Dec 20, 2025
     | 209 views

    This is a short talk in the context of a Nativity service in which we look at the characters in Jesus's birth and find many great examples to follow.

    This talk follows a children’s presentation of the Nativity story. You children did a brilliant presentation of what happened at Jesus’s birth. Thank you so much! Let’s spend a few minutes now looking at the people who were part of that first Christmas and thinking what their stories mean for us ...read more

    The Story Of The Wise Men

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jan 10, 2026
     | 66 views

    The wise men are a great example to us today, to be SEEKERS, WORSHIPPERS and, when necessary, REBELS.

    PART 1: INTRODUCTION People have been intrigued by the story of the wise men who visited the infant Jesus from the earliest days of the church. Long ago, people carefully kept the bones of the wise men. They’re now in a huge, gilded shrine in Cologne Cathedral. Some of the greatest painters in ...read more

    The Guaranteed Return

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Sep 19, 2021
     | 2,676 views

    Some investments give good returns. Others completely fail. Is there any investment which gives a guaranteed return? Yes, there is.

    I expect some of us invest money, maybe in property or in shares in companies. Perhaps some of us ‘invest’ in other ways. We invest in our future by studying and passing exams. We invest time in people. When we invest, we hope for a return. What do you suppose is the best investment of all? ...read more

    Not Ashamed Of The Gospel

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Oct 15, 2021
     | 4,260 views

    Paul tells Timothy not to be ashamed of the gospel. Christians today can also face that temptation. Paul then gives some solid arguments why Timothy shouldn't be ashamed of the gospel, and they help us too!

    ‘So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord’ Today we’re starting a new four-week series on 2 Timothy. I’m looking forward to this short series! Over the years I’ve studied a number of the New Testament letters but I’ve never really studied 2 Timothy. I’m interested to find out what ...read more

    Be A Good Soldier

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Oct 16, 2021
     | 2,158 views

    'Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus', Paul tells Timothy. We look at the story of three men who did just that: Thomas Cranmer, Nicholas Ridley and Hugh Latimer and ask why.

    Last week we started a new series on 2 Timothy. We looked at chapter 1 and I suggested that Paul’s central message to Timothy was, ‘Don’t be ashamed of the gospel’. Today we’re moving on to chapter 2. But I’m going to approach the passage by a different route. I’m going to take a look at three ...read more

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jan 25, 2025
     | 420 views

    We look at some recent news items about global warming. The world is going the wrong way - faster. How should we respond?

    Today, we’re continuing in the series we started last week, looking at items that have been in the news recently and thinking about how we respond to them as Christians. This week, we’re going to look at some items that have been in the news recently, related to global warming. I’ve titled this ...read more

    Camels And Needles

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Feb 8, 2025
     | 624 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
     | 843 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
     | 310 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

    Witness And Prayer

     | 1,481 views

    Prayer is essential to witnessing. Only God can change other people's hearts. Only God can give us the strength and courage we need.

    This was a fairly short talk in the context of a family service Back in March I got an email through our church website. It was from an American called Tagg Wolverton. He works for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. Tagg Wolverton explained that Billy Graham’s son Franklin would be ...read more

    The Fruit Of The Spirit: Patience, Kindness

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jul 15, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,830 views

    We look at two fruit of the spirit: patience and kindness. We need patience! People are difficult. Other Christians can be difficult. Ministry takes time to bear fruit. And we need to show kindness. We may not realise what a fundamental quality it is for a Christian.

    RUCKSACK ILLUSTRATION, EARLIER IN THE SERVICE. Narrator: ‘Today, Sam, Gifty, Vanessa and Cyril are going camping. Vanessa and Cyril are very excited about it. Vanessa gets to work packing two rucksacks. She is very thoughtful; she doesn’t want Cyril’s rucksack to be too heavy for him. She ...read more

    The Fruit Of The Spirit: Goodness

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jul 22, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,230 views

    The Holy Spirit wants us to grow in the quality of goodness. But what is goodness? How can we find the path of goodness?

    For the past three weeks we’ve been focusing on two verses in Paul’s letter to the Galatians. Paul wrote, ‘But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law’ [Galatians 5:22-23] In these famous ...read more
