Key Message: Authority is a very important issue in today’s society, whether it is authority in the home, school, workplace or in and between nations. Of course we need the right type of authority that brings freedom and blessings. In today’s increasingly divisive culture wars, so called woke pressure groups seek to assert their authority to determine morality and even to define genders. They reje...

Title: Stop Being So Competitive - Enjoy Your Life Series: Discovering The Real Jesus Key Text: John 3:22-32 Key Message: Many people go through their lives comparing themselves with others and competing with those around them.

Key Message: Right now, our world needs a whole lot of love. War with all its hatreds and savagery has once more erupted in Europe. Nations are in turmoil and fear wondering what comes next. In many places racism and anti-Semitism are at record levels. For millions of people, both older and younger and including many trying to recover from the negative effects of Covid, the world right now can app...

In the conversation that Jesus had with Nicodemus, who later became very committed to Jesus, we see some important points about being born again. In the encounter, we see that Nicodemus is a member of the Jewish ruling council, a man who usually would’ve been approached for knowledge or advice. Instead, we see the Nicodemus acknowledges that Jesus is from God. Jesus then goes on to explain that no...

The miracle that John records in John 2:1-11 is one of the most unusual miracles in the ministry of Jesus, a miracle which nobody was expecting. Jesus turning water into wine at a wedding was very different to His many healing miracles and it shows how God wants to bless us in the everyday experiences of life in ways we never thought possible. Jesus turning six large stone jars of water, each able...

Many people are familiar with Jesus as a great public teacher who spoke to multitudes and worked many miracles. Yet it was what happened away from the crowds that was so important in the ministry and purpose of Jesus. Jesus was very intentional in focussing His time and energy on developing a small group of true followers who would carry on His work and become the foundation of a world changing mo...

God wants to work in a new way in all of our lives but first we must be prepared for what’s coming. Before the glory of the Lord is revealed, there must be a time of preparation. As Isaiah 40:4-5 tells us, valleys, representing whatever has brought you low, have to be raised up. Mountains and hills of pride need to be brought low. Rough places and rough edges in our lives need to be made smooth. T...

Today we start a new series called Discovering the Real Jesus, looking at the gospel of John. Jesus Christ is like no one else who ever lived. He is the central personality of history dividing it into the time before Christ and after Christ. Today of course plenty of people know about Jesus, but do we really know who Jesus is? Do we have good reason to believe in Him? And not least does our belief...

Whatever situation you may be experiencing, when you put your trust in God you are going to make it. Our studies in the book of Acts have shown us that there were many times when it looked like the apostle Paul would not make it to the capital of the powerful Roman Empire where he believed God wanted him to testify about Jesus. There were times when he looked finished, times when the road ahead lo...

The storms of life can take many forms and shapes. When you go through a personal storm - be it a financial storm, a family storm, or a storm at work or school - it brings disorientation, destruction of what is normally secure, and makes you feel cut off and alone. As we saw last week in Acts 27, for the apostle Paul and those travelling with him, it seemed that there was no way out of this violen...

Storms can be very frightening. Storms can have devastating and lasting effect on our lives. Suddenly the world around you, that seemed so safe and secure, can rapidly disintegrate through forces beyond your control. Sometimes we can see a storm coming and other times it may come suddenly. In the Bible different storms are mentioned, such as when the disciples thought they were going to drown in a...

The phrase ‘speak truth to power’ is increasingly popular today, as individuals and pressure groups lobby governments, businesses, schools, universities, and other institutions to adopt their way of thinking. Christians also have a responsibility to speak truth to powers and authorities. Being a follower and disciple of Jesus involves far more than just going to church. It means being a citizen of...

History is full of examples of how the life of one person changed the course of nations and generations. It was Moses who led the Israelites to freedom, Joseph who preserved his people and many others from dying in a famine, and Esther who saved her nation from a Holocaust. As we continue our studies in the book of Acts, we come across one young person who made a big difference, by saving the apos...

Each person has a unique destiny over their life. It doesn’t matter whether you are famous or unknown or rich or poor. It doesn’t matter whether you are older or younger or male or female. It doesn’t matter what nation or racial background you come from. What matters is that you understand that each and every one has a particular purpose for their life. So what is destiny? Well Destiny is not abou...

The apostle Paul, like Jesus before him, did much to recruit, train and release teams of leaders who would shepherd the flock of God. He knew that the only way for the new and fast-growing New Testament Christian communities to be protected and to prosper spiritually was to find faithful people who would reproduce other faithful people as pastors. It was to one of these groups, the team of elders...

Although young people heavily populate some of the largest churches around the world, in the UK large numbers of young people either have never had any contact with church or they have drifted away from church. So how can today’s generation of young people both inside and outside of the church receive a spiritual awakening? As we continue our studies in the book of Acts, we find some answers by co...

In the book of Acts, radical changes for good took place when the Holy Spirit was at work in the lives of individuals, families, communities and even whole cities. Today the same thing is happening all over the world as millions of people discover that real Christianity, unlike religious tradition, brings love, life, liberty and new beginnings. Today you too can personally experience the revolutio...

All over the world people are hungry for more: more food, more love, more joy, more peace, more meaning. And so often they are left empty. The Bible tells us that God wants the hungry to be fed both physically and spiritually. He doesn’t ever want to turn us away or treat us harshly, like Oliver Twist experienced when asking for 'more' in Charles Dickens' famous novel. Instead, as the hymn 'Bread...

You can achieve the best results in the worst circumstances for yourself, your family, for the future of your church and for your community and nation. Maybe you are finding life very tough right now but the Bible tells us how we can overcome every challenge and see great victories. What seems impossible humanly is possible with God. Everything can change when we follow God’s ways and live by God’...

A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens is claimed to be one of the best-selling novels of all time. It was first published in 1859 and set in London and Paris before and during the French Revolution. Some historians say that one of the main reasons for the great contrast between the bloody revolution that overtook France and the relative peace in England was because of the impact of the great 18t...
