This morning I want to look at the contrast between Peter before the resurrection of Christ and Peter after the resurrection. Before the resurrection he is keen, but he never quite has the courage to back up his keenness with action. After the resurrection he is still just as keen, but now he has the […]

be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. That is the beginning of Ephesians chapter 5. Be imitators of God and walk in love as Christ loved us. I left out an important word from […]

There are two people we encounter at the start of Luke’s gospel, who are given similar messages, but react very differently to them. Their reactions are interesting, as is God’s response. The two people are Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist, and Mary the mother of Jesus. They are both given the message that […]

Last time I exhorted, three weeks ago, I talked about the importance of faith. I talked about how men like Noah, Abraham, and David were forgiven because of their faith, and I reminded us that we too can be forgiven anything if we have faith. Today I want us to think about the impact our […]

Compare Psalm 23 with Psalm 73. The former is “The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.” Psalm 23 is written by a happy, well, contented man. The latter is very […]

Brothers and sisters, we are all weak, and we all know that we are weak. We wake up in the morning with the genuine desire not to sin, and so often we sin before the evening. Each one of us know that we are like that and it causes distress to all of us. However, […]

Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress. In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future he will honour Galilee of the Gentiles, by the way of the sea, along the Jordan The people walking in darkness have seen a […]

The apostle Paul, in his letters to Timothy, warns him of the dangers of false doctrine. “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears.” That is a warning to us all, we shouldn’t accept doctrine just because […]

I thought this morning I’d talk about the Lord’s Prayer. It’s very short, very simple, yet it contains a summary of the whole gospel, and the whole way of life. I’m going to read the Lord’s prayer from Luke 11, verses 1 to 4. And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in […]

I’m sure in the past few weeks we have all thought about the terrible events that happened in America on the 11th September. The destruction of the two towers of the World Trade Centre in New York, the attack on the Pentagon, and the crash in Pittsburgh are almost too much to comprehend. And I’m […]
