Stephen! Murdered! Martyred!
(Acts 6:8-15) Stephen was the first of the martyrs for Jesus Christ as far as we know. He was put to death for his beliefs and for preaching the gospel. Now you would have to REALLY upset someone for them to go to such extremes. What I mean is that Stephen was a God fearing…

You Can’t Go Back – Part 1
(John 21:1-14) This will be a two part post to cover this message. It is a lesson I have learned again just recently and it is one that many Christians are unaware of how serious a matter it is. You can't go back when you come to The Lord. You must continue to push forward.…

Receiving Eternal Life
(John 17:1-5) It has been mankind’s wish and desire to be able to live forever since the earliest of times. In days gone by there were wild stories about seeking and trying to find the fountain of youth, which of course never existed. Receiving eternal life through such methods was and always will be a…

Holy Spirit Convicts
(John 16:8-11) This scripture looks at how the Holy Spirit convicts or convinces the world of three important matters. When Jesus left the world He said that it was to our advantage for He would send the Holy Spirit to us and the Holy Spirit would convict and convince the world concerning sin, righteousness and…

The Ruler of This World
(John 14:28-31) Time for a quick quiz. Who is the ruler of this world that Jesus was referring to in this section of scripture? A king or a queen? Perhaps Herod or the Caesar of Rome? If you answered any of these you would be wrong. What if this event had happened today instead of…

The Holy Spirit
(John 14:15-17) Jesus tells the disciples that they will be given the gift of the Holy Spirit in this section of scripture. Over the next few chapters of John He begins to show different aspects of the Holy Spirit. He shows things about the nature of the Holy Spirit, how we receive it, who sends…

Jesus Is The Way
(John 14:4-7) The Bible tells us that Jesus is the way to eternal life and salvation. He said in this scripture that, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life.” So this makes it pretty clear that if we want to find the road to eternity, we need to recognise that Jesus is…

I Go To Prepare a Place
(John 14:1-3) This is a much loved verse by many Christians as it has such a great promise and hope for those who are in the Lord. It is where Jesus says, “I go to prepare a place for you” and, “In my Father’s house are many rooms.” What a wonderful image this presents. It…

Life In Abundance
(John 10:10) What is your life? How much does your life mean to you? What would you be prepared to give in exchange for your life? Anything? Everything? These are big, big questions and not easy to answer. In this world we know that the average life span of a person these days is about…

Lost!
(John 8:21-22) What is one of the most frustrating and annoying things that can happen to you? When you lose something and cannot find it. Even though you hunt high and low, the darn thing just cannot be found anywhere. Think about the times you may have misplaced your keys, wallet, cell phone or something…

Doing the Works of God
(John 6:28-34) Do you want to have the eternal life that is on offer from the Lord? Do you want to live a life where you find peace, joy, security and the knowledge that God will protect and help you through all things? Well that is the offer of Christianity, and yes there will be…

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…
