    Sometimes we need a lesson in Christian conduct. Paul knows that when he writes the Philippians. He wants to give them guidance in their Christian conduct. That is what Paul does and he tells them about living the Christian life.

    We have ’Free Church Homecoming’ - an ecumenical service once a year. This sermon is an encouragement to go and to be the church universal, not just a congregation.

    I have a confession to make. I have not been looking forward to Free Church as I ought. I remember when I attended my first one eight years ago, I looked forward to it. But nowadays, sometimes it seems like it’s getting just a little bit old. It’s tempting to say that the idea has had its day and ...read more

    A look at life in the face of inevitable death.

    While preparing for this sermon I read a number of sermons by some older preachers. One of them commented on the fact that much of what was taboo when he was younger was now brazenly displayed on T-shirts for all to see. However he suggested that something that once was not taboo - death - is ...read more

    I WANT TO KNOW CHRIST I want to know Christ. To say this is to commit ourselves to a monumental task that would involve the rest of our lives and would never find its completion.
