What will they think? What will they do? (12:1-)

The Lord Jesus warned his disciples against hypocrisy and fear. We should be more concerned about inward sin than outward impressions. More concerned about fearing God than fearing men.

Six woes (11:37-54)

admin — Sun, 06 May 2012 17:30:30 +0000

The pharisees were the most religious and upright people of their day. Yet Jesus pronounced woe on them and the experts who advised them. Why?

Rules, rules, rules (11:29-54)

admin — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 17:30:44 +0000

We continue to think about ways in which people evade the challenge of Jesus. Jesus spoke about matters of the heart: love for God, concern for justice. But the Pharisees cared only about externals. Providing they kept outward rules, they were sure they were safe.

I have in front of me a little booklet. It was given to me after last Sunday evening’s service. A booklet of daily Bible devotional readings mainly from John's gospel or Acts...

Evading the challenge of Jesus (11:23-)

Jesus confronted his hearers with the clearest, most direct words possible. Yet they managed to find ways of evading what he said.

Easter Services – Listen Again

admin — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 09:30:08 +0000

How can Easter change you life? On that first Easter Day Jesus' disciples saw the facts of what had happened, they heard messengers from heaven speaking to them, they even met with the risen Christ himself but were left only fearful and confused. What was it that changed their lives for ever and that could change yours too?

Ascended for us (John 20:17) We often forget about a crucial part of the Easter Story - that 40 days after his resurrection Jesus ascended into heaven. The news that the risen Lord Jesus would ascend to heaven was what his disciples needed to hear most, even more than the fact that they would meet him again in person here in earth. Christ has acended into heaven for you!

Easter Sunday services

admin — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 11:00:08 +0000

Join with us as we rejoice in the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ in our Easter Sunday services at 10.30am & 6.30pm (8th April). It’s Easter, not Christmas that’s the heart of Christianity You’ve only got to look at the four gospels to see that. Two of them, Mark and John, don’t talk about the “Christmas-event”, [...]

Darkness veils thine anguished face (Mark 15:21-39)

admin — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 17:30:13 +0000

Jesus is plunged into black darkness as the whole weight of God's anger against sin crushes him. Yet at the end of it all he still cries out 'My God, My God'. One man recognises how remarkable his death is and realises just who this dying man is.
