Graham Elliot from the fellowship spoke on 4 precious promises from the Bible. The reading was in 1 Peter Ch. 1 v. 13 - Ch. 2 v.12 and in 2 Peter ch. 2 vs. 1-4. He talked about how precious it is to be a Christian. There is a great cost to our salvation, God paid the price of our sin through sending His Son to be our sacrifice. The four promises Graham spoke on were: 1) "Come unto me all you who labour and are heavy burdened and I will give you rest." 2) "I am with you always." 3) Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. 4) "If I go and prepare a place for you I will come again and receive you unto myself that where I am there you may be also."

Bruce Clark spoke on 'Love'. He read in Matthew Chapter 22 verses 37-40 and 1 John Chapter 4 vs. 17-21. He spoke about four Greek words for love; the love between a mother and child, friendship love, love between a man and women, and most importantly God's love. God gives His love freely to us, He gave us His Son Jesus Christ. When we receive Jesus as our Lord God calls us to love Him and our neighbours. as ourselves. Without love we are nothing.

John Green talked briefly about his work with Young Life and what prayer can achieve among young people when they pray. He read in Mark Chapter 8 verses 22-38. In the chapter Jesus asks his followers two questions, the first being, "Who do men say that I am?" The second is more personal, "Who do you say that I am?" Peter, one of his followers answers, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Jesus Christ asks us to follow Him. Through His death he offers us forgiveness in our sins that are past, power for the present and hope for the future. Being a follower of Jesus means no longer living for self but for Jesus, its about saving your soul and being ready to meet God. "Its not easy but its worth it."

Jonathan Scarsbrook from Killamarsh, Sheffield gave the gospel message. He spoke on plans and gave two examples of people in the Bible who made plans. One was a rich farmer who one year had a successful crop and decided to take it easy. He told himself to eat, drink and be merry. The Lord called him "a fool", and took away his life from him that very night. The second man was a criminal on the cross beside Jesus. He recognised that he was being put to death for his crimes but that Jesus had done nothing wrong. Jesus promised him eternal life because of his belief. The Bible warns us not to boast of tomorrow, for we do not know what another day will bring. Repent of your sin and trust in Jesus.
