God save the King

7/5/2023

 
Preacher: Ian Hardcastle  [Texts: 1 Kings 3:5-10; 1 Peter 2:13-17; Matthew 22:16-22]
Having just watched the coronation the previous evening, we reflect on the significance of the coronation as a covenant between the King and the people and between God and the King.  We see the significance of the actions taken and the investing actions.  We reflect on our part as we relate to the sovereign from a Biblical stance.

Blessings of Following Jesus

29/1/2023

 
Preacher: Ian Hardcastle  [Text: Matthew 5:1-12]
When Jesus preached the Sermon on the Mount, it was in effect his manifesto.  The laying out of the policy of his kingdom.  He starts with the Beatitudes.  This may seem to us to be all upside down, but in fact it is  right side up.  In this sermon, Ian looks at these character traits which Jesus calls blessed.

Submit to God and Resist the Devil

1/6/2014

 
Preacher: Ian Hardcastle [Text: 1 Peter 4:12-14, 5:6-11 ]
Casting our cares onto God - because he cares for us; reframing suffering in the light of Christ's sufferings; submitting to God; resisting the enemy; stones which are fashioned to form a living temple.

Apostolic Teaching: Submitting to the Best Shepherd

11/5/2014

 
Preacher: Ian Hardcastle [Text: 1 Peter 2:19-25 with Acts 2:42-47; Psalm 23; John 10:1-10]
How we struggle with submission!  The flesh hates it.  Peter gives us a rationale and an example to follow.  None other than the Shepherd of our souls!
