In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. Paul Jackson speaking on Sunday evening...

A genuine christian is someone whose love of God is seen in an active desire to demonstrate love to everyone they meet - it means you will constantly fight the temptation to judge others. You will accept that it is your responsibility to always be the one who responds first to the needs of others and take time to open your heart to others irrespective of the persons background, personality or posi...

Jeremy Simpkins speaking at Freedom Church on the gift of encouraging each other.

The real emphasis of James 1:19-27 is the danger of self-deception. It is one thing for the Christian to be deceived by Satan, but if you deceive yourself, this is something far more serious. The mark of a mature person, is someone who faces themself honestly, who knows themselves, and admits they needs help. By contrast, the immature person thinks they are rich, self-sufficient, and have no need...

Let us cross over to the other side. Mark 4:35-41

Perseverance in suffering - Be steadfast under trials, because your goal is to be more like Christ and more in love with God. So if that means God testing, humbling and breaking - you will prays ‘Lord, do whatever it takes, and help me to endure’. James 1:2-12

Introduction To The Book Of James

Listen to Keith's preaching part 3 of 'the serpent crusher'. Jesus is the serpent crusher, who has overturned the fall through His death on the cross. The result for those who find forgiveness and new life through Christ is that they are no longer enslaved to this life, but look to the next in confident hope.

Keith continues the Christmas series 'The Serpent Crusher' As the descendants of David fail, the prophets start to look forward to a coming King - God’s promised Messiah. Intriguingly, this King will rule the world by the words from his mouth, not with a sword or with armies.

The Bible reveals that the birth of Jesus Christ is something of enormous cosmic significance. It is the beginning of the end of a storyline, that starts on the very first pages of the Bible… It is the story of the forces of darkness that have ruled the world since the dawn of human history. a serpent who deceives. But one day someone would be born who would crush the serpent!

Rob and Sharon Pomeroy speaking from Titus 2:3-10. Encouragement to living a life of self-control, purity, love and integrity - With Jesus at the centre of everything we do...

Graham Webb speaking from John 3 : 19-21 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been...

Stand firm in your faith, resist the devil and clothe yourself in the armour of God and prayer. 1 Peter 5:8-11 Ephesians 6:10-20 Speaker: Khumbulani Sibanda

Revelation is a book written to struggling, suffering Christians, to assure them that God is in charge, Jesus will return, Satan is defeated, and the world will one day be all they long for. (Revelation 22) 1. Live in Hope 2. Live by the Truth 3. Live with Expectancy

Revelation 21 We are heading for a world in which God will live with us, and we will have direct and unhindered access to him all the time; a world in which his glory will shine on us as the sun does now; a world in which there is no more evil or danger; a world in which there is no more sin or opposition. This is the glorious future which God has prepared for his people, and that includes you if...

You, however, must teach what is appropriate to sound doctrine. Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance. Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Titus 2:1-3

Revelation 13-18: A society organised without reference to God offers attractive prosperity and power. But it is inspired and driven by the devil himself. We must not be taken in. The reason the Bible doesn’t pull any punches is because this danger is real, serious… and often unseen. Beware! You need to live in the all-surpassing riches of knowing Christ and to seek first His kingdom and righteous...

Part 1 of 2. Overview of Revelation 6-20 The message of revelation brings home to us the power of Satan to destroy, but more importantly the greater power of God to build his church and to protect his people. The book of Revelation is very much a celebration that the devil has been defeated.

Luke 15 ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost...

Revelation 5 No one else in all of the universe was found worthy to break the seals. Jesus met all of the qualifications. He became flesh, became human, and he lived among us, but he also loves us and was willing to die on cross for us, because he is the sinless son of God, he was able to redeem us.

One day we will join with all of creation to gather around the throne God and worship the most wonderful, mysterious, creative God. All of your life, your work and your play should be done for His praise and glory. Revelation 4

The church In Laodicean: Revelation 3:14-22 This church is saying to themselves our spiritual temperature is white hot. This would've been fine if they have been using the same measuring scale as Jesus was, but they weren’t. So Jesus tells them ‘you are measuring your love for me and your devotion for me by using the wrong scale - the wrong thermometer’. He tells them 'You are neither hot nor cold...

Faithful Philadelphia: Revelation 3:7-13 It is not the size or strength of a Church that determines it’s ministry, but faith in the call and the command of the Lord Jesus. If Jesus opens the doors, we must go through it - if he shut the doors, we must wait. But, above all, we must be faithful to him.

Thyatira - the corrupted church. Revelation 2:18-29 Those who live in victory and overcome sin are the ones who will receive all of God’s rich promises. In the end those that repent will overcome not just the sins of this life, but will come to a place where Jesus will conquer all that is evil, once and for all - For Jesus is victorious and we are called to be like Him….

99.9% isn’t enough in God’s eyes - he requires everything, 100% and he will not compromise or share you with anyone or anything else. He expects total commitment. You need to stop and ask yourself In what area are you feeling the greatest pressure to conform to this world’s standards and culture?  Are there areas especially when it comes to idolatry and immorality, that you need to repent? The big...
