Speakers during January 2012

Sunday 29th January William Horsburgh from Pastor of Rydedale Evangelical Church spoke on Titus 3 v5- 7 But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,  whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

22nd January Steve Harding from Hamilton Evangelical Church preached on John 12 concerning the different reactions to Christ

15th January Nick Garrity from Minehead spoke on Luke 4
It's Good News are you qualified to receive it? 
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”

8th January Frederick Hodgson from Whitby Evangelical Church spoke on Psalm 79
How long, Lord?
Will You be angry forever?

1st January Gareth Crossley spoke on Philippians 2 v5 ff
 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,  who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God,  but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,  that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

Family Business

On Sunday 23rd October Graham Swift from the Grace Fellowship spoke on "Family Business"  from  Luke 10 v38 -42 and John 11 regarding Mary and Martha. 

1. Family Hospitality.  "Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house." He stressed the need to make people feel welcomed to the fellowship

2. Family differences - There was disagreement between Martha and Mary  but "...Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.”

3. Family loss  -Mary & Martha lost their brother Lazarus and we were reminded of the hope of the Resurrection "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live." John 11v 25 and the need to trust in Jesus Christ.

The woman who came face to face with the man who made the universe

Erroll Hulse from Leeds Reformed Baptist Church spoke on John 4 - The Samaritan Woman who came face to face with the man who made the universe.
Lord immediately talked to her about living water
"Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water"
Erroll reminded us of the uniqueness of Jesus' position as prophet.   He knew that the woman was cohabiting, which the Bible says is sinful.   Unless we deal with the subject of sin we are not dealing with the Good News.  Good News is for sinners.
This woman had a one to one experience with Jesus.   If we become a christians we need to see Jesus face to face and believe in him.  This Samaritan woman leaves her water pot behind (which was very valuable) and went to tell others about Jesus.
God brought about a revival through one woman.

Watch and Pray

Frederick Hodgson from Whitby Evangelical Church took the service on 8th October and spoke on "watch and pray" from the sermon of the mount in Matthew 7

We are to watch ourselves:
v1 & 2 "Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged;
We are to watch we are not naive

v6 "Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces."

Watch out for false teachers:

v15“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.
We do this by recognizing their fruit

We were challenged about what we are going to do with God's words, whether we are going to do them like the wise man that built his house on the rock or not obey them like foolish man.
