A sermon by Harry Goodhew Good morning! Sometimes we have the privilege of seeing God at work in a clear and remarkable way. We know from Scripture that he is always working out his purposes but for us those purposes are at times hidden or ambiguous. I‘d like to share an example of God working … Continue reading
A sermon by Graham Agnew One of my favourite passages in the Old Testament is found in Daniel chapter 5. It takes us back to 539 BC when Belshazzar was the reigning king of Babylon. He decided to throw a party….a really wild party, with at least a thousand of his aristocratic friends! In today’s … Continue reading
A sermon by Steve Cooper Good morning! Let me wish you a happy New Year! I hope you’re enjoying a break and a slower pace after the Christmas season. The New Year is an appropriate time to re-assess our lives. We reflect back on the past year, and start thinking about the year which lies … Continue reading
A sermon by Harry Goodhew Good morning! I guess we’re all permitted to have a favourite Bible passage. I certainly do. But the fact is that I keep changing my favourite. As circumstances change I find that particular passages take on a new and special significance. So then I have a new favourite. How does … Continue reading
A sermon by Harry Goodhew Good morning. I wonder if you can recall anything of 1992?

If things are going wrong in our own personal lives, or in our families, or in the wider world, our minds become full of doubts and questions and confusion. We feel like panicking – and it’s hard … Continue reading
A sermon by Harry Goodhew A great deal is said about Moses in the Bible: about his birth, life, death, and his achievements. He certainly was unique, called by God for a particular task, and in that regard, he is impossible to copy. He filled a special place in the history of God’s dealings with … Continue reading
A sermon by Margaret Hall Recently I read an article which claimed that love is a deception – a mere word that’s not seen in action. The writer maintained that philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle talked about love, but didn’t actually live it. They were condescending towards others and overly critical of them. They … Continue reading
A sermon by Steve Cooper Good morning! The Bible is totally candid about the failings of those the Lord chose to be his servants. That’s a great encouragement for us. On first impressions many of the Lord’s servants described in the Bible seem like heroes. They trust in God and take steps of courageous obedience. … Continue reading
