The Christian's One Problem - Kevin Hodges  

We are so easily influenced by our senses, what we see, hear, smell, touch and taste.  All too often how we see ourselves is guided by what we know of ourselves, and see in ourselves.  Is that how God sees us?  Are we defined by our performance or is there another metre by which we are measured in His eyes?  

 

The Christ Who Heals  

1 Corinthians 11:17-34  

A common tradition that is being lost in this age of electronic devices is the family meal.  When was the last time you sat down at the dinner table and talked to your wife, husband, children etc. whilst you ate a meal together.  It reminds us of things forgotten, things hoped for and things shared.  Jesus wants to have a meal with His family too.  

 

Christmas, the End of Selfishness  

Isaiah 61:1-4  

What if the cosmic war was over forever and God was only ever going to be on your side?  How would it feel if you expected favour?  How would your year go if you started in faith built around His promise of Favour?  

 

Christmas, the End of Uncertainty  

James 3:14-18  

"Peace on earth and goodwill to men", the angels announced.  Finally we're not on our own and all of God's good will is turned towards us.  It's the end of fear and uncertainty forever.  

 

Christmas, the End of Confusion  

1 Corinthians 2:6-14  

You'd better not shout, you'd better not cry," goes the Santa song.  But why?  Who's shouting, who's crying and why?  Santa may not like them, but maybe Jesus will be okay with my shouts and cries.   

 

December 10. Christmas, the end of Injustice. Why is Scrooge in the Christmas Carol? What does His character represent? Isn’t he about injustice and greed. So how does Christmas change Scrooge?

Sowing & Harvesting - Radivan Runjo  

Crop farmers will hire farm hands to help with the sowing, watering, fertilising, pruning and harvesting of the crop.  If however the farm hands don't do the work, the crop will fail and the farm will become a liability to the farmer.  Jesus is the Great Farmer, the world is His farm, and He has hired us to be His farm hands.  Are we doing the work?  

 

God in the Centre - Glynn Greenwood  

Daily we find ourselves under pressure to prioritise the things that we "need".  Bills to pay, family to love and care for, a house to keep clean, cooking, maintenance etc.  Is there a priority that we need more than others, but find ourselves dropping to the bottom of the list?  

 

Deal With It!  

Luke 4:1-13  

How many little things have you swept under the carpet or avoided dealing with.  Like the Philistines of old, if you don't deal with them- those habits become oppressors.  

 

Opportunity knocks! There are many well intentioned and bad intentioned people out there that would love to horn in our your destiny. It may be time to toss the Jezebels out of your life.

No Compromise!  

Numbers 24:15-19  

This is the second of 2 slightly different presentations of this message.  This presentation is from the afternoon service at the Salisbury church.  

 

No Compromise!  

Numbers 24:15-19  

Sometimes for lots of reasons we end up sitting still in life- but it's not rest that settles in- it's compromise.  It's Balaams trick and it can cost us our future.
