The Gospel Never Fails - Russ Clarke 18/07/21

The Gospel Never Fails - Russ Clarke 18/07/21

Continuing in Acts 2, and verse 41. Three thousand were added to the Church that day who were those that, "Received the Word gladly." The inference here shows that though many heard the word and received it gladly, there were also many that didn't. Is the Gospel really the 'Power of God unto salvation?' Does the fact that many reject it mean that the Gospel doesn't work anymore? is this the view of mainstream churches causing them to go to extra lengths to attract people to the Church? The Word of God never returns to Him void and will always achieve that for which it was sent. The Gospel Never Fails!!

Sin - A Friend or Foe? - Ryan Clarke 11/07/21

Sin - A Friend or Foe? - Ryan Clarke 11/07/21

1 John 3:6-10.

Sin a friend or foe? Can a Christian go on sinning? What is the relationship that a child of God has with sin? Does he still sin? Or is it a fight that remains?

The Glorious Gospel - Nick Davis 04/07/21

The Glorious Gospel - Nick Davis 04/07/21

Speaking from Romans 3:9-31 Nick takes us to the realities of the fallen nature of man, their sin against a Holy God and His wrath upon all unrighteousness to the blessed message of the gospel. The glorious truths of God's mercy and grace upon a wicked, helpless people. the beauty of Jesus Christ the Son of God who willingly laid down His life, bearing the sin of His people, being the substitute for them, redeeming them unto Himself, thus saving them eternally. To God be the glory!

One Thing is Needful - Russ Clarke 27/06/21

One Thing is Needful - Russ Clarke 27/06/21

Luke 10:38-42. The Account of Martha and Mary. The World is blinded to Christ and many of us get distracted with daily, and sometimes mundane things. But the story of Martha and Mary shows us that even in the the service of Christ, we can become cumbered, distracted and overcome by all that brings, getting too busy in the ministry, forgetting that relationship with Jesus is the very centre of it all. Are you like Martha, distracted in the doings of the Christian life? or are you like Mary who chose the best part which was to sit at the feet of Jesus and hear His word?

Sin and Remedy - Ryan Clarke 13/06/21

Sin and Remedy - Ryan Clarke 13/06/21

1 John 3:3-4.

As we continue to go through this epistle we come to verse 4 and 5, What is sin? What does that mean for us? And if there is a remedy, what then is that and how?

The Lowly One - Russ Clarke 06/06/21

The Lowly One - Russ Clarke 06/06/21

Jesus Christ is God the Son. Glorious, Almighty, Wonderful, prince of Peace, The creator of heaven and earth. All life is in Him and His name is above every name, and yet He is meek and lowly, a servant hearted saviour! Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud. (Proverbs 16:19) Believers are called to be of the same mind and heart!

Sons of God - Ryan Clarke 06/06/21

I John 3:1-3
The Apostle John reminds those who are born of God that they are now Children of God. The is the present condition of the believer, adopted into the family of God through Christs Work on the cross. We also see 2 outcomes of sonship,the World will not know you yet there is that hope of future Glory for when we see Him we will be like Him.

An Abiding Man - Ryan Clarke 23/05/21

An Abiding Man - Ryan Clarke 23/05/21

The evidence that one abides in Christ is that he loves righteousness. This is the beauty of the power of the gospel - he now loves righteousness! Why? Because he is born of God.

Ears to Hear and Hearts to Receive? - Darren Clarke 30th May 2021

Ears to Hear and Hearts to Receive? - Darren Clarke 30th May 2021

Ears to hear, hearts to receive? Just as Jesus spoke to the crowd who gathered to hear him, He speaks the same message to the church today. There are four types of soil but only one is good for fruitfulness. Let him who has ears to hear!!

Not in Word Only - Ryan Clarke 02/05/21

Not in Word Only - Ryan Clarke 02/05/21

The gospel came to Thessalonica not just in word only, but in the power of God. We know the Apostles and some of their closest associates were moving in signs and wonders given to them to attest to the message they spoke forth, proving like Moses that God had indeed sent them. But is that what Paul speaks of here? Would seeing signs and wonders cause the people to turn from serving the countless idols of their culture to serve the living and true God? Join Ryan as he shows us what is really meant in 1 Thessalonians 1:5

Wash Away Thy Sins - Acts 2:38 Russ Clarke

Wash Away Thy Sins - Acts 2:38 Russ Clarke

Remaining in verse 38 of Acts chapter two we read of how Peter not only speaks of the command to repent, but with the inclusive ‘and’, emphasises the importance of baptism.

A Change of Heart. Russ Clarke - 18/04/21

A Change of Heart. Russ Clarke - 18/04/21

The devout Jews from every known nation had heard the truth about themselves and the Truth about Christ. Being pierced through by the Word preached by Peter, helpless in this new found knowledge of their sin and offence to God, they cried out in desperation, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?”
Peter responded simply but directly... Repent

It is Finished. Ryan Clarke - 04/04/21

It is Finished. Ryan Clarke - 04/04/21

It is finished. John 19:30. These are the words that Jesus uttered before He died. What was meant? What was it that had finished? These words are the hope of our full and complete salvation.

Jesus Christ the Son of God came in the flesh. He lived for us! He died for us! And He was raised for our justification! Romans 4:25. A Resurrection Sunday message.

Abide in Me! Ryan Clarke - 28/03/21

Abide in Me! Ryan Clarke - 28/03/21

The Apostle John, calls us to Abide in Christ. This is a union which is unbreakable and eternal. The abiding man is a man who continues to continue in God's grace.

I John 2:28

What Shall We Do? Russ Clarke - 21/03/21

What Shall We Do? Russ Clarke - 21/03/21

Part 3 in a series from Acts 2:37-47. Having previously looked at the phrases, “When they heard this” and “They were pierced in their heart” Russ moves into the cry from those who truly heard, “men and brethren, what must we do.” Have our hearts been pierced? Have we been left helpless by a deep sense of our sin? Is the the cry of our hearts, “What shall we do” or are we like the rich young ruler who asking a similar question, assumed it was merely a case of doing something good in order to secure eternal life?

They Were Not of Us! Ryan Clarke - 14/03/21

They Were Not of Us! Ryan Clarke - 14/03/21

We live in the last days, what are these days? We are warned in scripture of “The Antichrist”, the man of perdition who will seem to be the answer to the worlds problems. But what about closer to home? There are anti Christs amongst us, we must recognise this and seek to be aware. Join Ryan as he lead us through 1 John 2:18-27
Mar 15, 202159:21
Pilate Was Right! - Ryan Clarke 07/03/21

Pilate Was Right! - Ryan Clarke 07/03/21

Speaking from John 18:28 - 19:5, Ryan shows us that Pilate said three times, ‘I Find no fault in this man.’ A truer word could not have been spoken. Christ lived a perfect life in full obedience to the law. This was necessary for Him to be the sacrifice - The Lamb without blemish. Christ not only died, but lived as our substitute. He came to save people from their sin.

The Crowd’s Response Part Two - Russ Clarke

The Crowd’s Response Part Two - Russ Clarke

Part two of the series taken from Acts 2:37-47. In this message we look at how those who heard Peter’s first sermon were, ‘Pierced in their hearts’, broken with conviction of sin as apposed to the Pharisees who were, ‘cut to the heart’ in rage, anger, vexation, and gnashed their teeth in hellish hardness of heart. Knowing that all are by nature, rejectors and haters of God, we must realise if we have a contrite spirit, a brokenness for sin and a real trust is Christ, it is a gift of God and because of His mercy, grace, and love.

Worldliness - Ryan Clarke 02/03/21

Worldliness - Ryan Clarke 02/03/21

John goes on now to warn us of worldliness. The love of the world, that being its systems and its Godless agenda. A world in which has rejected God, hated God's Christ and pursued its own way...this should not be the way of a Christian. 1 John 2:15-17
Mar 04, 202101:05:10
The Crowds Response. Russ Clarke 21/02/21

The Crowds Response. Russ Clarke 21/02/21

Speaking from Acts 2:37-47 Russ begins in the first half of verse 37, "Now when they heard this." When Peter stood with the eleven, such questions must be asked such as: Who was it that heard? What is it to hear? Hearing but not hearing? What is it that they heard? And the deep rooted question...have you really heard the gospel?
