Haddington Elim Church

What is God saying to us as a church? Are we on the right track? It is important to ask these questions. It does us good to periodically check our ‘maps’ and listen to the Holy Spirit to ensure we are keeping close to Jesus.  Today I want to put forth our vision for the church for this year. It is from John 15. Jesus is telling His disciples that He is the vine. For us as a church in 2025, we must...

We looked at the confrontation between Elijah and the false prophets of baal. Ahab was the king in Israel and God had warned Israel many times about worshipping the pagan gods of the nations around them; he married a woman who killed many of the true prophets of God. There are many things we can learn from this terrible mistake. This woman was not a follower of God. She was bent on destroying the...

A few weeks ago we came upon someone's bonfire burning in their back garden. A fire is hard to conceal. Taking this as a spiritual lesson, if we have the fire of God burning within us, it should not be able to be hidden. Listen to this message and be encouraged today!

This week Alex Hart shares on the age old question, 'Why Jesus?' This is a foundational question that has been asked by multitudes over many centuries. Why Jesus? Listen today to be encouraged by this message.

In this week's message, Sheri beautifully explains what Christ has done as our redeemer. Listen now to be encouraged as she explains how redemption works in the lives of believers. Our prayer is that you are strengthened and blessed by this timely message.

Our walk should change upon coming to faith in Christ. Our goals and desires should change. Who we’re living for should change. We are no longer the lord of our lives but God is. Many of us used to walk like the world walks but once we’ve come to Christ, there should be a difference. The sinful man is deceived and their understanding darkened in their hearts.  Even after we come to faith, if we’re...

Luke 2:8 In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened.  Suddenly, something extraordinary appears. There are many ‘suddenlies’ in the Bible. You rub your eyes a few times because you’re not quite...

We are getting close to the shortest day of the year where there will be about 6 hours of sunlight. Many people experience seasonal affective disorder because there isn’t enough light. They even refer to it as ‘winter depression’. We can feel the darkness creep up and seemingly overtake us by minutes each day. But as soon as it comes, the shortest day gives way to the mornings and evenings becomin...

The Apostle Paul tells us to rejoice and then tells us again, rejoice! What does this mean? This week, Sheri brings this timely message. Listen now to be encouraged and strengthened by the Word of God.

This week America will celebrate Thanksgiving. They will have a feast with turkey, mashed potatoes,  stuffing, and pumpkin pie. This is a holiday that remembers the original people that had set out from Plymouth. The harsh winter climate and the long journey caused the death of many of the Pilgrims and Puritans. The Wampanoags helped them to live through the harsh winter. When the harvest came in,...

Caleb was one of only two spies (along with Joshua) to come back with a good report when they were sent to spy out the land, a report of faith; believing that God had given Israel the land and would enable them to conquer it although it was full of giants. The other ten spies believed that Israel would be destroyed in the attempt to take Canaan, and the people of Israel believed the ten spies’ neg...

Joshua has been working closely with Moses. He is the one in the valley fighting while the man of God has his hands raised during the battle. He is a warrior. The time comes for Moses to die. God has raised up Joshua to lead the people into the Promised Land. To be fair, he is not sure he can do it. They have been wandering for forty years without entering the land promised to them. God tells Josh...

This week, Rachel Hogg looks at this very important and timely subject. She goes through the story of Joshua and the conquest of the land of promise. Be encouraged as you listen to this message!

Luke 8:26 Then they sailed to the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee. 27 And when He came out onto the land, He was met by a man from the city who was possessed with demons; and who had not put on any clothing for a long time, and was not living in a house, but in the tombs. Their first thought may have been, let’s get back in the boat, storm and all then to stay here! Here is a m...

We have just returned from mission. We were blessed beyond measure and wanted to share with you our experiences. Corey, one of the team members shares his powerful testimony, as well. We pray you are blessed as you listen to this week's podcast.

This week, Alex Hart brings this encouraging message.

Today Pastor Arwyn Cudlip brings an inspirational message. Our prayer is that you are encouraged by this week's message.

The last few weeks we have been talking about a time of consecration. Elim’s new General Superintendent, Mark Pugh, has asked everyone across Elim’s network to spend 21 days in a time of consecration. I asked everyone to have a time of personal consecration and last week, we looked at consecrating our church. Today we are looking at the consecration of the Elim Movement.  Elim believes that the Ho...

Today we are looking at the consecration of our churches. Many churches and denominations that once burned bright with the glory and power of God have ceased to be. Often when man takes the place of God, we can see it shrivel up and die. He is the giver and sustainer of life. Why would we, in our earthly wisdom, ever think we would know better than God in His infinite wisdom? 1 Corinthians 1:18 Fo...

Elim's new General Superintendent, Mark Pugh, has asked everyone across the Elim network of churches to enter a time of consecration as we look to the future of the Elim Movement. Many times throughout scripture, the people of God took time to consecrate themselves.  “I dare to believe that Elim’s future can be greater than our history if we will humbly bow in surrender and service. Our season...

We all go through times of testing and trials. They can make us or break us. Rachel Hogg takes us through the story of David in Ziklag. What happens in this passage will encourage you today. Listen now to this message and let God speak to you.

One thing that all of us face at one time or another is the temptation to quit. We have an enemy that wants to destroy our lives and families. We are battered at every turn. In Navy Seal training, they have a bell that they want you to ring to give up. They are almost torturing you and you are beaten by the waves. You are made to run for miles. You are cold, you haven’t had proper sleep and they e...

With the emergence of this beautiful weather we’ve had, I finally had the chance to smoke a brisket on my grill. Now brisket is a tough meat and it needs hours to cook through or it will be tough like a car tyre. Usually I get up early and get everything ready. I found out the hard way that brisket gets to a place that is called ‘the stall’. The stall happens when the internal temperature fights a...

Today we are looking at Acts 17. Paul is on his missionary journey through Greece. One thing I noticed about Paul, he KNEW how to read a room. He wasn’t oblivious to the listeners on hand. He was wise and led by the Holy Spirit. We need to be led by the Spirit and be able to speak to those around us and tell them the good news about Jesus.
