Who We Ought To Be

Tue, 22 Nov 2005 16:00:12 +0000

What kind of people ought we to be when the world is destroyed? Our souls will live on however and will either spend eternity in hell or eternal glory. Are we therefore going to live for ourselves.
How eternal people should live for an eternal God -
1. We ought to be living like Christ
2. We ought to be people longing for Christ
3. We ought to be people learning of Christ

The Coming of the Lord

Tue, 22 Nov 2005 15:45:56 +0000

People don't take warnings seriously. Many people lost their lives living in the shadow of a volcano because they ignored all the warnings about an eruption and subsequently lost their lives. There is another more sudden dramatic event that many are ignoring and of which Peter is speaking here.
That event is the coming of the Lord which -
1. ... is taught in scripture
2. ... is scoffed at by many
3. ... will happen in God's own time
4. ... will happen suddenly and dramatically
5. ... hasn't happened yet because God is merciful

Running but Returning - How we turn around

Mon, 6 Dec 2004 14:50:46 +0000

There were reports of a stolen car and many things were attempted to contact the thief. This was not to apprehend him but to save his life as there were crackers lying on the front seat coated with rat poison. Last time we saw Jonah he was trying to escape from God, but really he was trying to evade God resuing him. God plans everything but we still have an element of responsibility in the steps we must take to be right with Him.
1. Jonah demonstrated conviction and repentance
2. Jonah's confidence in salvation

Running but Returning - How God brings us back

Tue, 2 Nov 2004 06:31:59 +0000

Sometimes we may come across a tv program where we see a criminal on the run trying desperately not to get caught. However once a helicopter with an infra-red camera is deployed it's virtually impossible to escape. In the same way we can't escape from God's vision but as believers we have a special place in His focus. We are far from flawless and we too may run from Him but he care too much and brings us back. This passage considers Jonah and how God brought Him back.
1. What God asks us to do
2. How we respond to that call
3. How God brings us back

Living Sacrifices

Tue, 5 Oct 2004 16:13:58 +0000

In the first verse of Romans 12 Paul is crying out in urgency. What is so urgent that Paul wants to tell us about. That we are to offer ourselves as living sacrifices to God. Paul has spent the first 11 chapters talking through the doctrines and now it is the time to use it and put it into practise. Here is where the gospel matters in the fruit we produce in our lives.
1. What are we to sacrifice
2. How are we to sacrifice
3. Why are we to sacrifice

Reject, Desert or Commit ?

Sat, 3 Jul 2004 07:50:40 +0000

The story of Ruth stands out as a testimony to God's sovereignty and grace. There are four main characters in the opening chapter of Ruth and we can learn some important lessons from three of these characters in how they relate to God.
1. The rejection of God
2. The desertion of God
3. The commitment to God

The Truth about the Law

Fri, 4 Jun 2004 12:56:38 +0000

Driving a car to someone who hasn't driven may seem beyond them. The same applies to the truth about the Law of God. Before we are Christians the thought of keeping the law seems beyond us but once we become Christians we grow to keep it more but also realise how short we fall.
1. Our reality - we all break God's law
2. Our problem - we are all condemned by God's law
3. Our need - we all require God's righteousness
4. God's result - believers now love God's law

Garden of Gethsemane

Fri, 9 Apr 2004 07:54:53 +0000

Place names remind us of certain events. What does the Garden of Gethsemane remind us of. We are going to consider what it meant to Christ and how it applies to us.
1. The agony Christ felt
2. The submission Christ showed
3. The diligence Christ expected

Knee-Jerk Reactions

Thu, 11 Mar 2004 14:06:39 +0000

We use the phrase 'knee-jerk reaction' to describe the automatic response someone who acts impulsively will make. In the spiritual realm, natural man reacts in the same way to the gospel - he rejects it. We will be considering various reactions of different groups of people.
1. The reaction of hate
2. The reaction of love
3. The reaction of scorn
4. The reaction of Christ
5. The reaction of betrayal
6. The reaction of you

The greatest commandment

Thu, 5 Feb 2004 11:51:30 +0000

We are obsessed with the biggest or greatest of everything, or of noteworthy facts. We have a great curiosity just like as in this passage where the debate was over the greatest commandment.
1. The question for the teacher
2. The answer from the teacher
3. The agreement with the teacher
