  • Unburdening the Church

    Too often we hear of pastors burning out churches. We also hear of people leaving the church for lack of spiritual food. Unburdening the church will resolve many of these issues.

  • The Whole Counsel of God

    (Acts 20:13-38) In these verses we see Paul hurrying to get to Jerusalem to try and be there by Pentecost Day. As he journeyed he came to a place near Ephesus named Miletus. While there he called for the elders of the Ephesian church to join him so he could speak with them. The things…

  • Spreading The Word

    (Acts 8:4-8) It’s ironic how the actions of a few to stop something often leads to an expansion and growth of the very thing they tried to stop. Think about the actions of the Jewish elders and especially Saul who became Paul. Before coming to Christ he persecuted and harassed the early church, even going…

  • Wisdom of Gamaliel

    (Acts 5:33-42) As humans we frequently generalize about all kinds of things. We make broad sweeping statements and too often it is wrong to do so. Paul pointed this out in the Bible when writing to Titus in Titus 1:12 saying, One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil…

  • The Lords work WILL Be Done

    (Acts 5:21-26) Think about Jonah. He tried to escape from doing the work of The Lord by running away to sea. Did he get very far? Nope! The Lord brought a storm down, threatening to sink the boat Jonah was on until the sailors threw him overboard to be swallowed by the great fish. The…

  • Fellowship

    (Acts 2:42-47) One of the key messages of the gospel in the New Testament is the need for fellowship. We see the purpose and focus of fellowship in these few verses in Acts 2 after the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. Fellowship is important, but what does it really entail? What is required…

  • Replacing Judas

    (Acts 1:15-26) Judas betrayed Jesus. He was selected by The Lord as one of the twelve knowing full well that he would betray Jesus. That was why he was chosen for it was necessary to fulfil the scriptures and prophecy concerning the betrayal. But in spite of this betrayal, the position Judas held as one…

  • Jesus Appears to the Disciples

    (John 20:19-23) After Jesus had risen from the dead He appeared to the disciples many times. In these scriptures we see Him appear to His closest disciples, the eleven (bearing in mind that Judas had gone). This particular appearance is interesting for several reasons. Firstly, it was where He proved to the disciples that it…

  • Team Jesus

    (John 4:31-38) This teaching is an interesting one as it appears bang in the middle of the teaching about the woman at the well. It is interesting because Jesus shows us here that no one person in God’s Kingdom can, should or does work alone. We are part of a team, Team Jesus, if you…

  • The Other Disciples

    (John 1:43-51) We hear a lot about some of the disciples and early apostles. Some are held in high esteem by many in the churches. And yet we know there were twelve who were called to do the early work of the church. We know a little about Peter, James, John and some of the…

  • From Fishermen to Fishers of Men

    (Luke 5:1-11) How do you turn a person’s life upside down so that they turn away from all they have and follow a different path? This is what Jesus did with the early disciples and it is here we see the classic line where he said he would make them fisher’s of men. Simon Peter,…

  • Jesus Sends Out The Twelve

    (Mark 6:7-13) As Jesus went among the villages teaching he began to give more ministry responsibility to the twelve disciples. When Jesus sends out the twelve he gives them some quite specific instructions. They were to have the authority to cast out demons and to anoint the sick with oil for healing. These signs were…
