The Appearing Of Our Saviour

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 5, 2013

The incarnation was not an afterthought, but part of the purpose of God for mankind from all eternity.

THE “APPEARING” OF OUR SAVIOUR. 2 Timothy 1:8-11. The incarnation was not an afterthought, but part of God’s purpose for mankind from all eternity.

A Christmas Bible Study

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 5, 2013

An overview of Luke's account of the nativity.

A CHRISTMAS BIBLE STUDY. Luke 1:1-2:20. Luke writes in an exquisite, almost classical Greek style. However, the first two chapters of his Gospel are unashamedly Jewish, painting his message onto a graphic Old Testament background. Here you will meet with angels; you will read of the barren ...read more

His Plans Not Our Plans

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 19, 2013

The Temple of the LORD and the dynasty of David.

HIS PLANS, NOT OUR PLANS. 2 Samuel 7:1-16. (The title of this Sermon is based upon Isaiah 55:8-9.) There are three main thrusts in our reading in 2 Samuel today: 1.

Thankful For The Providence Of Almighty God.

Contributed by Ronnie Miller on Nov 29, 2013

When we allow that freedom and independence to be politically correct to satisfy the non-believer instead of being thankful to the true God for blessing us, guess what happens?

Thankful for the providence of Almighty God. Psalm 100: 1 A Psalm of praise. Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. 2 Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. 3 Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his ...read more

I Believe In The Resurrection

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 27, 2013

Those who deny the truth of the resurrection are teaching a different gospel to that which we find in the New Testament.

I BELIEVE IN THE RESURRECTION. 1 Corinthians 15:1-34. Sometimes it is necessary for Christian people to get back to the basics of their faith, to remind themselves what they are about. Here in 1 Corinthians, Paul is not teaching his readers something new, but reviewing that which he taught them ...read more

The Ministry Of Reconciliation

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 28, 2013

The need for reconciliation arises because of our estrangement from God on account of our sin. The mediator of reconciliation is God. The cost of reconciliation is the death of Christ. The result of reconciliation is a new relationship with God.

THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION. 2 Corinthians 5:16-21. This passage directly confronts us with the subject of reconciliation. It requires spiritual thinking: no longer regarding people from a worldly point of view - “according to the flesh” - and certainly not regarding Christ from a worldly ...read more

Inside Out Means Looking Pass Me Just So You Can Know Me

Contributed by Preacher Fo Real on Feb 20, 2014

Viewing People From The Inside Out Is Looking Pass The Outside So You Can Truly Know Them. It Is The Way God Sees Us And The Only Way We Should View Ourselves And Others In The World.

The last few years of the 1960's were some of the most turbulent times for the African-American community. However, as a lad lost inside the safe and carefree world of my infancy, I did not have a clue the world saw me as inferior to the Caucasian race.

Running the race with the heroes of the faith, with our eyes fixed on Jesus.

THE HALL OF FAITH. Hebrews 11:29-12:2. 1. In the earlier verses of Hebrews 11, the ‘Hall of Faith’ (as I have called it) spoke of faithful individuals, ranging from Abel through Abraham to Moses.

Prioritising commitments, bearing the Cross, and counting the cost of discipleship.

PUTTING JESUS FIRST. Luke 14:25-33. I. Prioritising commitments. Jesus, it has to be admitted, is a great orator.
