Speaker: Jack Douglas (Cleator Moor)

Missionary Report

Jack gave a missionary report of his work in Papua New Guinea (PNG). Jack and his wife settled with the Pawaian tribe in and lived there for 37 years. They learned the language over many years and translated the Bible. Today many of the Pawaians have become Christians and their lives have been transformed by the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Gospel Meeting

Reading: Acts 4: 1-12

Topic: Mediators


There is only one name that can save us, the name of Jesus.

We are enemies of God the Bible tells us (Colossians 1:21) and our sin separates us from God.

God's standard is holy perfection.

Jesus became our mediator, bearing our sin on the cross, to bring us to God if we believe on Him.

'Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.' Acts 4:12

Sunday 19th May Gospel Meeting

Speaker: Terry Martin (Castleford)

Reading: Isaiah 48:16-22

Topic: Is Real Peace Obtainable Today?


Isaiah's message to the children of Israel is the same message God is bringing to us today.

Real peace is having the Prince of Peace (Jesus) as your Lord and Saviour. Jesus has made a way to God for us, He has paid the price, by dying on the cross for our sins. If you trust Him you will find peace.

GOSPEL MEETING 12/05/2013

Mr. Malcolm Neate from Leeds read Luke 15 vs.3-13 and 17-24.
He spoke about being lost.
The sheep wandered off  and needed a seeking shepherd.
The coin was lost without doing anything, we are born in sin and it needed the light of the Holy Spirit to be found.
The son deliberately was lost and had to acknowledge his sin and needed the grace of his father to lovingly welcome him back.
God can forgive all our sin, He smote His Son on the cross and He paid the price for our sin and bore the judgement of God.
The sheep was brought home on the shepherds shoulders.
The coin was grasped securely in her hand.
The son was hugged warmly by his father.
Best robe - new man.
Ring - new relationship.
Shoes - new walk.
Believers will forever be rejoicing in His presence.
Unbelievers will forever be lost in Hell.

GOSPEL MEETING 05/05/2013

Mr David Heyhoe from Hull read Exodus 26 vs.15-30 and Acts 2 vs.11-24 &36-47
David started off following our recent "theme" of "the way" the only way to God is through the Lord Jesus and His death for us.
Then he spoke about the boards and the bars in the Tabernacle representing those who make up the Church and the things that link us together and he mentioned that it was and is the place where God dwells and has His presence.
 Acts 2 vs.42 ¶  And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
The 4 bars;
                 Doctrine - "thy word is truth" teaching beware of Satan's subtle attacks.
                 Fellowship - care and support for each other not expecting from others without being prepared to give.
                 Breaking Bread - always remember the Lord's death till He come, precious times.
                 Prayers - dependence on God for guidance not always asking but worshiping.
The 5th bar within speaks of the Holy Spirit which ties us together and brings unity and togetherness we are tied together.
We should continue steadfastly in these things to the glory of God and our spiritual wellbeing.
