Missions: The Will of God

In this message we see Jesus as the first Missionary sent by God, with a clear responsibility for those chosen by God. We also see that the Gospel is not complete here on earth, but is focused on eternal life. John 6:38-40 English Standard Version 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to…

A Gospel to Believe

In this message, John gives his personal testimony of living with the Lord Jesus and shows that his record of the Gospel has one purpose that readers and hearers might believe and be saved.   John 19:35 English Standard Version 35 He who saw it has borne witness—his testimony is true, and he knows that…

Pentecost: The Glory of God

This message begins by looking at God’s Gift, The Holy Spirit and then shows how He is the One who truly gives Glory to God. That glory is ultimately seen in the Grace of God as sinners repent and are added to the Church. 14 He will glorify me, for he will take what is…

The Goings and Comings of God

The message begins looking at the place and value of change in the purposes of God. It moves to then consider the stumbling block of incalcitrance climaxing in the recognition that essentially the work of God is always cooperative for the benefit of His people and the glory of His Name. 7 Nevertheless, I tell…

It is Finished – Redemption

Following Wednesday’s message, we see how Jesus now pays the penalty for sin. The preparation of history has been completed, the promises of the Old Testament concerning are complete and God’s Ultimate Passover Lamb is sacrificed. John 19:30 English Standard Version (ESV) 30 When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished,”…

Walk in His Light

This message introduces Jesus as the light of the world, who has come into the darkness of the current world and we are called to walk in his light by believing in Him. John 1:9 English Standard Version (ESV) 9 The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.

The same works, the same honour.

Jesus has provoked a controversy, so that he might proclaim his oneness with the Father in his works, and therefore also in honour. John 5:16-23 English Standard Version (ESV) 16 And this was why the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because he was doing these things on the Sabbath. 17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am…

The Only Way

This message begins by looking at the sad state of the disciples the night that Jesus was betrayed. It then considers the serious limit that Jesus puts on access to God, but climaxes in the glorious Truth that there is still a way to God. 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and…

“Born Again”

We often hear in churches that we must be born again. But what is it? Why do we need it? And how do we get it? You Must Be Born Again 3 Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus[a] by night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that…

The Hour has come

Jesus’ arrest is often glossed over in the crucifixion account but there is much to be made of our Lord’s interaction with the soldiers in the Garden. Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus 18 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples across the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which…
