Zechariah’s Remarkable Prophecy

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Apr 1, 2023

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

Being A Believer By Title And An Unbeliever By Action Series

Contributed by Shaila Touchton on Jan 24, 2025

In this sermon, we'll explore few examples from the Bible that highlight the paradox of being a believer by title and an unbeliever by action.

Peter has witnessed ALL the miracles which Jesus performed. He even PROMISED to DIE for Christ and NEVER to leave Him. Yet, when Jesus needed him MOST, he denied his Lord. Nevertheless, he was forgiven and became a CHANGED man, ready to die for Christ.
