    The Lord of the dance invites us all - but we have to let him lead.

    You’d think John would know. After all, when Jesus came down to the Jordan to be baptized, John had just finished saying, “I baptize you with water for repentance, but one who is more powerful than I is coming after me; I am not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit ...read more

    It is because we’re only human that we can come into God’s presence only under Jesus’ sponsorship, and clothed in his grace.

    I got an offer last week that I almost didn’t refuse. It was from a travel company who, in return for my coming to a one-hour pitch for their company, would give me 4 free days and nights in any one of dozens of different destinations, and if I came between Tuesday and Thursday they’d double the ...read more

    Lord Of The Storm

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Mar 11, 2023
     | 4,291 views

    Everyone experiences storms in life. Storms are miserable. They are dangerous. But Jesus wants us to be calm in them. And they provide almost unique opportunities to learn to trust Jesus.

    The story of Jesus and his disciples in a storm on the Sea of Galilee is short. But it has a huge amount to teach us. I’d like to show you a little video clip of an actual storm on Lake Galilee so you can get an idea of what that storm might have been like. [Video clip.] Jesus and his disciples ...read more

    This topic has fascinated many – even in the 1st century. But, know this: fascination is not what God is after from you and I. What God wants from us is understanding -- which leads to submitting to Him and being prepared for the day Jesus returns!

    June 11, 2022 The genealogy of Shem in Genesis 11:10-32 marks an important change in Genesis.

    The Siege Of Jerusalem

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Feb 1, 2022
     | 2,818 views

    We probably don't like to think about God's justice. The siege of Jerusalem by the Romans, in A.D. 70, forces us to. In this event we see God's justice but we also see that God protected his people in a time of wrath.

    Note: this was a talk I gave to a small afternoon congregation. I wouldn’t give it in our main morning service. INTRODUCTION We’re presently following the theme of discipleship, picking up some of the big things that are part of being a follower of Jesus. But it’s good to have some variety so ...read more

    Jesus is coming soon. Prepare daily, own your faith, and don’t delay. Midnight is coming, but grace is here now.

    Picture the scene Jesus paints. Night has settled in. A moon is rising lazy and late. Shadows stretch across the village road. Somewhere nearby, a bride waits with trembling excitement.
