Listooder Youth Fellowship

Maurice Warburton brings several years of experience in online media to Listooder as we consider the influences the media has on our Christian lives. As co-founder of the website EternityWhere.com , Maurice has seen the positive impact that online communications can have for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The dangers, however, are many, and this is the focus of Maurice’s message tonight. In Ephesians...

Victoria Hanna brings a report to Listooder of the six weeks she spent serving the Lord in Central Africa.

Pastor William Creighton explores various passages of Scripture to provide a deep, practical and instructive message on what God has given us to guide our relationships. From conception, each of us become part of a relationship. A relationship that we cannot choose, yet a relationship that will form the foundation (good or bad) for every future relationship that we have. As we go on through our li...

Following on from the hugely successful Listooder Games Night, a large crowd gathered for the first meeting of the season. Samuel Murray, formerly of one of the local churches, now ministering in Tandragee, brought the message from God’s Word.

Fred Greenfield returns to Listooder, bringing with him the exhortation of Paul to the Roman believers in the first two verses of this chapter. Speaking of need for each believer to be available unto the Lord for His service, Fred breaks the verses down even further to consider the exhortation of Paul, the presentation of our bodies, the dedication to the Lord, the separation from the world and th...

For this very particular topic, we welcomed Colin Tinsley from Hope for Youth Ministries. Colin is an experienced children’s and youth evangelist, and a friend to Listooder Youth Fellowship. Opening the Word in Deuteronomy chapter 32, Colin highlighted the phrase in verse 20, which speaks of a ‘froward generation, children in whom is no faith’. Sadly, as Colin pointed out, this is a very appropria...

Marcus Sommerville returned to Listooder on Saturday night to consider the attitude of believers towards personal evangelism. Opinions range from those who believe that we should be hunters: using quick, aggressive tactics to persuade unbelievers to come to Christ. Others see our responsibility as more of a fishing role: where we slowly and cautiously draw the unsaved towards the truth of God’s Wo...

Despite the strange title, this message from Pastor Ian Wilson features warnings from the life of Peter outlining how easy it is for a young believer to 'drift' from the presence of God. Ian outlines the circumstances in Peter's life which led to his ultimate denial of Christ. These are circumstances that every child of God should be vary careful of emulating. However, as Ian goes on to explain, P...

Baptist Pastor and missionary with ACRE Gospel Mission, Victor Maxwell, looks at the prayer of Jabez in the first Listooder meeting of 2010.

Pastor William Creighton brings a message focussed on a Happy Family L.I.F.E. Starting with the LORD, it is only through faith in Christ that we can experience true happiness in our live. Then, as INDIVIDUALS, we must understand our own responsibilities before God, relying fully upon Him for our happiness, and not upon the circumstances around us. The FAMILY happiness is the result of following th...

Gordon Dane, minister of the Free Presbyterian Church in Crossgar, speaks very genuinely and frankly on the Lord's leading in his life. His early childhood was not hugely influenced by Biblical matters, however, things changed when his father gave his life to Christ. Despite this, and the constant call from God to repent, he resisted Christ for a few years. But Christ is longsuffering and gently b...

David Reid, author of the book 'If My People', visits Listooder for the first time to present the Biblical truths behind the book. Speaking from John chapter 13 on the subject of Humility, he brings to our attention the humility shown in Christ as He washed the feet of the disciples, revealing His true nature as the servant who became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Tim McIlwrath joins us for his first visit to Listooder, in which he presents lessons from the character of Jephthah. From Judges chapter 11, we learn that despite being treated as an outcast, the Lord, 'in the process of time', uses Jephthah to lead the Israelites to victory over their enemies.

Pastor David Scott speaks of two Judgements mentioned in the Scriptures. There is the 'Judgement Seat' of 2 Corinthians 5:10, where all Believers will be judged, or 'reviewed' according to their works. A Believer will never be Judged or 'punished' for their sins, as all are washed in the blood of Christ, but it here that we will give an account of our service for the Lord. No Believer will ever fa...

In the words of Romans chapter 12, Trevor Baxter encourages young believers to present their bodies as a living sacrifice, wholly acceptable unto God, which is our reasonable service. In following these verses, we can bring glory to God with our words, our actions and our conduct.

In our special one-off Fellowship Meeting, Stephen Moore brings a simple message from one of the most well known passages of Scripture. From Psalm 23 he reminds the Believer of the privileges we each have in the Lord,  exhorting any who are outside of the fold of Christ to bring their need of Salvation to the only one who can save.

Stephen Jamison returns to Listooder to speak from Galatians chapter 5 on the Fruit of the Spirit. Following on from the previous message by Brian McCoubrey, Stephen considers the need for the young Believer to display Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness and Temperance.

Brian McCoubrey joins us from the Baptist Church in Saintfield to consider the Fruit of the Spirit in the Word of God. Dealing particularly with Love, Joy and Peace, we look forward to the next meeting, in which Stephen Jamison will cover the remaining six. As a whole these characteristics should be the guide of every young believer as they seek to live for Christ in these days.
