These are perhaps some of the most important questions that we can ask - yet in our modern world there is much confusion and doubt over the answers.

This sermon is available now in the following formats...

Monday 9th June

NEW SERMON: Continuing in our studies of the book of Revelation, we look at 'The Lamb And The Scroll' in our twelfth study. John wept because no-one could be found who was worthy to open the scroll and read it, but then the Lamb stepped forward, of whom it could be said 'Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood'. Join us for our study of this next portion of John's vision. This sermon is available now in the following formats...

Sunday 1st June

NEW SERMON: The Pharisees are accusing the Lord and His disciples once again, but in part 35 of our 'Studies In Mark' the Lord Jesus exposes 'The Heart Of The Problem'. Their external religious rules and regulations were only a cloak covering the misdiagnosis of a heart complaint. Join with us as we learn of the dangers of an outward conformity to man-made rules, which does not deal with the true problem of the human heart. This sermon is available now in the following formats...

Monday 19th May

Drawing from Scripture and the example of the Moravians in the 1700's, Pastor Legge encourages us to re-examine our prayer lives, and see whether the never-ceasing flame of persevering prayer before the throne of grace is evident. This sermon is available now in the following formats...

Monday 12th May

Nevertheless, in the midst of their terrifying ordeal, they experience 'The Servant's Security' as Jesus comes to them walking on the water!

This sermon is available now in the following formats...

Monday 21st April

NEW GOSPEL SERMON: In our modern day age, most if not all of us experience stress of one kind or another. Worry and anxiety are everywhere.

NEW SERMON: The final of the seven churches in Revelation is 'Laodicea, The Lukewarm Church'. Join us as we see what Christ has to say to those believers and churches who are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold.

This sermon is available now in the following formats...

Monday 17th March

NEW GOSPEL SERMON: For the Roman Centurion, 'The Moment Of Discovery' came as he watched Christ on the cross at Calvary, and exclaimed 'Truly this man was the Son of God'.

NEW SERMON: In our thirty-second study in Mark's Gospel, we learn lessons about 'The Rhythm Of Rest And Readiness In Service'. The disciples were tired, and both they and the Lord Jesus had just received the terrible news of John The Baptist's execution. Jesus recognised their need for rest, and brought them by boat to a secluded spot - but before long, the crowds were clamouring for their attention once again. Do we recognise the need for physical and spiritual rest from service? How should we react when this rest is interrupted? This sermon is available now in the following formats...

Monday 18th February

NEW SERMON: We continue our look at 'The Practice and Principles Of The Lord's Supper', we see at this gathering: the presence of Christ, the priesthood of all believers, and the presidency of the Holy Spirit - but no officiating ministry.

Monday 11th February

NEW SERMON: In Part 8 of our studies in 'The Book Of The Revelation', we find the letter to 'Sardis, The Dead Church'. What do we know of dead churches in our modern age?

What can we learn from the Lord's words to Sardis that can help breathe new life into 'dead' believers and the churches they attend? This sermon is available now in the following formats...

Monday 4th February

NEW SERMON: This week we are witnesses to 'The Silencing Of A Servant', as we study the horrific execution - beheading - of John The Baptist in part 31 of our 'Studies In Mark'.

This sermon is available now in the following formats...

NEW SERMON: In contrast to last week's study, when we saw what a difference faith can make, this week we consider 'The Paralysis Of Unbelief'. In part 29 of Pastor Legge's 'Studies In Mark', we find the account of Christ's last visit to His home town of Nazareth. We consider the opposition, rejection and unbelief Jesus met from those who knew Him as the local carpenter. Where did this negative reaction come from, and what was the result? This sermon is available now in MP3, WMA, RealAudio and text formats...

Saturday 1st December

NEW SERMON: This week in our Studies in Mark, we come to the stories of Jairus' daughter, and the woman with the issue of blood.

Monday 26th November

NEW SERMON: Pastor Legge begins our studies of the seven churches in Revelation with a look at 'Ephesus, The Loveless Church'.

Monday 19th November

NEW SERMON: In the story of the demoniac of Gadarene, we see clearly that 'Satan To Jesus Must Bow'.
