Manipulating the Master When I was in high school, I had a maths teacher, who, despite the story I’m about to tell, was actually a really good teacher who helped me excel at the subject. Well, many of us in the class figured out something about this teacher. We learnt that there were about 3 or 4 topics…

Sleep is essential. One of the most important thing we can do for ourselves is get adequate amount of sleep. Now I admit this is not something I always do well, never had and trying to change that. Reputations focus on the past. This is not necessarily a bad thing and actually is most helpful. However,…

Ideal Church What does the ideal church look like? Now, you might stop me there and remind me that actually, the ideal church doesn’t exist. (I don’t know if you’ve heard the old adage - if you find the perfect church, leave, because it’ll cease being perfect). But let’s just leave that aside and try…

1 Corinthians 3:5-17 God has called each of us to a wonderful position, to be members of a church.

Shopping Lists I’ve often found it strange that when I walk around a supermarket holding a shopping list, I have on occasion had people remark - oh, a shopping list, now that’s a good idea. I’m usually thinking the comments are said a bit tongue-in-cheek, probably because they keep forgetting to write…

Introduction: Well, we’ve reached the end of one year and the beginning of a new year, and I have to say that I have never been happier for a year to end than this year.

IRL Who here that is over 50 know what the three letters IRL stands for? In Real Life Now, I should perhaps mention I’m the type of person that writes all my words out in full, even in text messages, but my understanding is that when young people use IRL, it’s essentially an admission that the online…

Today's sermon is all about how God finishes what He starts and brings His work to completion.

Intro: When Jonathan broke through wall instead of going over it. Obstacle removed. You ever had a hard time praying? Like you get to a certain point where you have hit a wall yourself, and instead of pushing through, you just walk away and stop. If you have your Bibles, go ahead and grab them. Ephesians,…

It’s New Year’s Day. Are you ready for a new start? We will make resolutions, begin new books, new diets, new exercise regimes, make new plans for our year to come. Maybe New Year’s resolutions aren’t as successful as we would like. But we all like the chance for a new start. At the New Year, we also…

4 By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he was attested to be righteous, God testifying about his gifts, and through faith, though he is dead, he still speaks. I preached from this verse a few weeks ago, on September 12, as we were remembering the 20th anniversary of…

Strengthening our Family in the Lord Nehemiah 4:10-14 I love this passage because it reminds us of what is the most precious and important treasure we have on this earth. My family, my spouse, my children, my close by extended family and even those that I love at church as well to a degree. But a Christian…

We want to make spiritual goals for our lives…

Introduction: It takes a village to raise a child…or does it? This is an oftentimes cited statement (thought to be an old African proverb) by our culture that seeks to try to force its own ideas into the minds of our children. Who has the responsibility for raising children? The government? The public…

I hate being sick. Don’t you? I don’t handle it well, usually. You might be like me where you have this pattern—when you first start to feel bad, you try to ignore it. I just didn’t sleep well, or it’s the weather or allergies or something, but I’m fine. Once I finally acknowledge it, though, there is…

Title : Rebuilding Had a different message in mind last week, but after praying, felt led to let that sit and stew on a back burner for a while, let it marinate a while longer… and today we’re diving into the minor prophet, Haggai.
