    The Dead Hear His Voice And Live

     | 5,703 views

    The day will come when all the graveyards and all the cemeteries in the world will be emptied out. They will give up their dead, who will live again. And those who have believed in Christ will live forever with him.

    The apostle John records seven miracles (or signs) from Jesus’s public ministry. Today we come to the seventh sign, and it is without question the greatest sign. For in John 11, the Lord Jesus powerfully restores the life of Lazarus. And it’s actually a miracle that we can relate to, in the sense ...read more

    How To Handle Temptation Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jun 29, 2021
     | 6,983 views

    James moves from how to handle trials to how to handle temptations. Even though temptation is inevitable and giving into temptation is inexcusable, we can learn that temptation is predictable and conquerable.

    Introduction: A. Once there was a little boy who always went next door to play alone in the neighbor’s yard even though his mom had warned him against doing so. 1. This frustrated and worried his mom so she asked him why he was so disobedient. 2. He replied that Satan tempted him so much and he ...read more

    Guarding your Heart

    Hook A.W Pink once said, For the Christian to keep his heart… means for him to pay close attention to the direction in which his affections are moving, to discover whether the things of the world are gaining a firmer and fuller hold over him, or whether they are increasingly losing their charm for ...read more

     | 4,160 views

    What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus Christ and what will it cost you? In this sermon we learned that denying our selves, taking up our cross, and following Jesus, means letting go of self-preservation, self-determination, and self-identity.

    ********************************************************* THE COST OF DISCIPLESHIP Scripture Reading: “From that time on Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and that He must be killed and on ...read more

     | 655 views

    A talk on prayer preached at St Christophers Hanwell 28 July 2025, at a Cafe Communion service - where people sit around tables and the sermon is inevitably quite interactive.

    INTRO “one of his disciples said to him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples” [Luke 11:1] Martin Luther, the 16th Century reformer, was once asked much time he spent in prayer. “An hour a day” he said. “But what about if you are really busy?” “If I am really busy I have to spend ...read more

     | 152 views

    Trust God to fight your battles; respond with prayer and praise, knowing His presence and power are greater than any fear or opposition you face.

    Some mornings the alarm clock sounds like a starter pistol. We leap from bed straight into a race we didn’t sign up for—emails, meetings, bills, a stack of must-do’s. And then there are the battles no calendar can predict: the doctor’s report that makes your heart pound, the prodigal child who has ...read more

    The Gospel According to . . . Hollywood? The Bible Scripture: Genesis 3:1-24 Today is Father’s Day, and as a way of honoring our fathers, I thought we should all just take a few moments to reflect on all the things we’ve learned from our dads.

    Uses the Black Eyed Peas’ song Where’s the Love as an outline for looking at the Christian concept of love (points out a few errors in the Black Eyed Peas thinking from a Christian perspective).

    Introduction There’s a song currently towards the top end of the music chart which I have listened to over the past month or so, on the radio as I drive back and forwards to Manchester each week and it causes me to think.

    Go Tell It On Mt. Sinai Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 6, 2003
    based on 35 ratings
     | 9,555 views

    Being a Christian is not a negative thing, nothing but thou shalt nots; it is first of all a relationship with God, but marred by fear. So God gives us boundaries to receive as a gift, not a burden. That’s good news worth telling.

    The instant some people hear anything about Christianity they begin to conjure up negatives. For too many being a Christian is defined by what they are not allowed to do. “I don’t drink and I don’t chew and I don’t go with girls who do.” For too much of the world, being a Christian is a joyless, ...read more
