Matthew 14:13-21 A great Word of encouragement is brought forth in this sermon by Brother Brian. In the days in which we are living, God is calling His people to feed those who He brings across our path.  Yet, are we the people of God prepared to carry the compassion of the Lord for those who He died for?  Are we willing to be inconvenienced?  Are we willing to be broken that He might fill us and...

2 Samuel 9:1-8 Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now am found, t'was blind but now I see.  What does it mean to be in wonder of the grace of God?  His saving mercy; His saving grace!  Those who have this wonder and who are in awe of God's grace, will follow Him and won't turn back! 

Hebrews 10:23-25 Is the Church of Jesus Christ necessary for one's sanctification?  Perhaps this is something that you've not before considered and so understandably, you may need time to ponder this pertinent question. I say pertinent, because we are living in a day where there is a small but increasing number of Christians, whose attitude towards the local visible Church Body is one of disdain a...

Haggai 2 Having seen the wonder of God's greatness, Brian now turns to share on the wonder of God's glory!!  Even the sun in all its brilliance; the stars in their glory; do not compare to the glory and the majesty of the One who brought them into existence in a moment!  Oh, that God would come again and reveal His glory in revival!  God is willing, but the question is, are we? Who is willing to c...

Hebrews 5:8 – 6:3 It is my firm conviction, based on the evidence and testimony of Scripture, that God in every age and in every generation, is calling His people up to higher ground, and that the work of sanctification; that work whereby we are being fashioned by the Holy Spirit into the image and likeness of the Lord as we yield our lives to Him is an ongoing one which shall not reach its conclu...

Hebrews 12:1-2 The clear and uncompromising call of Scripture is an exhortation, calling the people of God unto holiness!  Praise God for the many victories won over besetting sins and the great gains made thus far.  Yet, could it be, that God is saying to you and I; there is still something amiss in your life that I'm calling you to perfect.  Something still lacking which I'm calling you to addre...

Philippians 2:5-11 "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross" (Phil. 2:5-8). W...

John 3:16-21 There's something wonderful about the sun (S-U-N); its sheer power and brilliance in casting forth its rays; reaching every inch it seems of the earth's surface.  Yet do you know, there are some places that even this great light can't reach—chasms which burrow deep beneath the earth's surface—their steep and rocky sides shielding out the light.  The deeper that chasm goes, the greater...

Isaiah 40:9 How amazing are the wonders of our great and gracious God!!!  Beyond our comprehension and thinking.  In this opening message, Brian sets before us, the awesome wonder of God's greatness and calls the Body of Christ to place their faith in HIM!! 

Mark 4:35-41 There is coming a day when all that will be shaken, will be shaken.  The Church of Jesus Christ is going to go through a very turbulent time in the days ahead and a great testing will distinguish between those who are truly for the Lord and those who are not.  It is imperative that the Bride of Christ is found abiding in faith, hope and love; these three shall remain, but the greatest...

1 Peter 2:3-8 Brian brings a very moving message on the preciousness of Christ.  Amongst the varied fruit of a true believer, this one distinguishing mark must be present.  Is Jesus Christ precious to your heart, and if not then why not?

Matthew 26:36-45 According to NHS data, there has been a 28% increase in the number of hospital admissions for stress and anxiety in the past decade.  Between, 2017 and 2018, there were 595,000 cases reported in the UK relating to work-based stress.  However, it's not just in the workplace, everywhere one look's, people are under pressure.  In one of the biggest surveys into the impact of stress;...

Matthew 6:7-13 It seems that almost every other month, another Christian in the position of leadership, jumps to a social media platform to announce to the world that they're stepping down from ministry due to some moral failing; or in the case of the last two months, that they're abandoning the faith altogether!  Apostasy has always existed in the ranks of the fold and exhortations abound in the...

Zechariah 4:6-9 So often in our theology, we begin with man first and forget that the opening words before ever mention is made of man is; "In the beginning God…"  God is the great first cause of all things.  By Him and through His Word, the whole universe was brought into existence.  How often do we really seek counsel from the Lord for direction at life's crossroads?  How often do we consult Him...

Revelation 14 We come in this teaching to our first interlude since beginning the second section of the Book of Revelation. This is a very quick-paced chapter, full of various visions.  A lot of ground is covered in just twenty verses.  First, we are met again, with that special group of Jewish men; 144,000 Messianic believers, gathered on Mount Sion with the Lamb.  Next, John sees, three heraldin...

2 Chronicles 14 It seems that the hardest thing to get Christians to do today is to pray, and because there is no individual prayer life there is no corporate prayer life!  The prayer closets of the average Christian are perpetually vacant and the Church prayer meeting has long been abandoned.  I don't know about you, but for me, this send's the strongest possible message.  If actions could speak...

Matthew 16:13-18 Pastor Jason from Bourne Evangelical Church brings a very timely word from the Lord in season.  Using the promise that Jesus made to build His Church, He shows how God is still at work in the land, raising up a faithful remnant for the glory of His name.  Those who want to do things their own way find themselves in apostasy as Church after Church across this land closes its doors...

Revelation 13:11-18 We come in this twenty-second teaching part to a second beast which John saw coming up out of the earth.  Who is this second beast, and what shall be his function and office?  How does his activity correlate to the person of the first beast?  What is the image that John beheld, speaking and causing as many as would not worship the image to be killed?  Then there's mention made...

1 Samuel 22:1-3 "The world's greatest men usually enter incognito. The tough youngsters who gathered in Jesse's back yard of a summer afternoon to play the ancient equivalent of piggy-move-up would not have shoved Jesse's youngest boy around quite so freely if they had had a touch of second sight to let them see that they were taking liberties with the greatest king Israel was ever to know.  But t...

1 Samuel 7:1-13 As Christians, we ought never to lose the living testimony of a Living God in our midst!  The increasingly secular world in which we live declares that God is dead and as such, derides anyone who would dare to come out in the public square and declare that Jesus is real and living! The great danger in our day is that we can become so PC that we've nothing left of a Christian testim...

Revelation 13:1-10 I cannot stress enough, the importance and the significance of the chapter that is before us tonight, in better aiding our understanding of the nature, role, and function of the antichrist in his hour of power during the Great Tribulation.  It is important to point out, that John does not stand in isolation in the things he sees. The prophet Daniel, some 600 years before, foresa...

Matthew 16:24-25 When you purpose with all your heart that you are going to walk through this life with the single determination at every juncture to say, YES to the will of God and NO to the will of man!  Get ready, for a life of misunderstanding; judgment, criticism, and persecution.  To walk with God friends at times is to tread a lonely path of obscurity, and we have to settle it in our heart...

Matthew 24:1-13 This is a sermon that will both challenge and equip believers to get ready for the Lord's return.  It is by no means exhaustive, but key principles and commands are passionately given in order to help prepare the Bride of Christ to make it through in these last days. This sermon was delivered at Israel and Prophecy.  For more information, visit: www.israelandprophecy.org

Revelation 12 There are some that maintain, that the book of Revelation is so full of imagery that no sense can be made of any of it.  I admit, that the book is full of imagery, but I add that that imagery is not random but specific and deliberate for those with eyes to see!  Who is this woman, clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet and upon her head twelve stars?  Who is this red drago...

Romans 1:16 As one surveys the last two thousand years of Church history, one will see that sadly, anti-Semitism has plagued its ranks at every juncture, hiding beneath the thinly clad veneer of theology so-called. Replacement theology—the belief that the Church has replaced national Israel (the Jewish people) in becoming the new inheritors of the promises given specifically to Israel in the Tanak...
