Follow Me

Deep down in his heart, Matthew must have hoped for forgiveness. When Jesus fixed that look of love on him, searching the depths of his inmost soul, he didn’t need to think about it any longer! When he heard, “Follow Me,” he was up and gone! Matthew 9:1-17 And getting into a boat he crossed…

Power to Forgive

Although the Christian faith has many values, virtues and applications, the most essential message is that, man a sinner, can know the fullness of forgiveness for that sin. That is the heart of the message of Christianity, and that is exactly the message of this miracle at the beginning of Matthew chapter nine. Matthew 9:1-13…

The Father

How do we understand the Fatherhood of God? While every person is a product of God’s handiwork, not all are members of His spiritual family.

Our Life-giving Lord

This message uses the life experience to show that the vilest sinner is able to escape the deserved judgement of God and enjoy full and free forgiveness as they turn in repentance and faith to the Lord Jesus Christ and in Him alone. Romans 6:23 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the…

The Good News of Forgiveness

This message begins by looking at the unchanging character of our God, being faithful and just. It then considers His Unchanging purpose – the forgiveness of lost sinners. The final point stresses the importance of recognising the limit and extent of that forgiveness. 1 John 1:9 English Standard Version 9 If we confess our sins,…
