Authority

20/6/2021

 
Preacher: Ian Hardcastle  [Texts: Mark 4:35-41; Job 38:1-11]
They are in a boat in heavy seas.  The men are afraid, but Jesus simply orders the wind and the waves to be quiet - and they are!  What does that say about Jesus?  But then he seemed to have expected more of the disciples - what should they have done?

"I am willing - Be clean!"

14/2/2021

 
Preacher: Ian Hardcastle  [Text: Mark 1:40-45]
Is God willing to heal?  What does the account of Jesus healing the leper tell us?  "I am willing - be clean."  Let's explore that for our situations today.

Image and Ownership

18/10/2020

 
Preacher: Ian Hardcastle  [Text: Matthew 22:15-22 with Isaiah 45:1-7]
Where do you loyalties lie?  When challenged with a trick question by his opponents, Jesus gave a brilliant answer which not only dealt with them, but gives us a guiding principle for life.  In some matters we are to obey the government, in others our loyalty must be with God.

True Apostles

29/10/2017

 
Preacher: Ian Hardcastle  [1 Thessalonians ]
As we look at this passage we see marks of a true apostle and consider too comparisons to Martin Luther as he ignited the Reformation 500 years ago.

Privilege and Responsibility

8/10/2017

 
Preacher: Ian Hardcastle  [Texts: Isaiah 5:1-7; Matthew 21:33-46; Philippians 3:4b-14]
In answer to a challenging question, Jesus claims he is the Son of God, shows the leaders their disloyalty to God, warns them of coming judgement and announces the responsibility of the new people to be formed!  Quite something from one question.
