Gospel Meeting 29/06/2014

Mr. Jim Locke read Luke 13 vs.1-9, 23-29, 32-35.
Jim explained that this passage was addressed to the nation of Israel, but he wanted to draw out some applications for us today.
He said that because a particular disaster happens or people go through more suffering than others doesn't mean that those people are worse sinners than those who don't pass through them.
We are all sinners and we need to repent and be converted.
Luke 24 vs.46  And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
47  And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

Why do we need to repent? Because we are sinners and we are accountable to God.

God sent His Son to bring us mercy and Salvation. We need to repent and believe the Gospel.

    Bring forth fruits of repentance, there is an opportunity to be saved and Jesus Christ is the only means of Salvation.

     Few there are that get saved it is not something we slip into by association, we need to strive to enter the strait gate, our ambition needs to be to get saved it is not en-mass it is one by one through the narrow gate. Jesus said "I AM the door." When we realise that we have nothing and no hope in ourselves we must turn to Christ and rely on Him.

He knows His own and it is only through faith and trust in the death and shed blood of the Lord Jesus that we can be saved from a Hell that is far worse than we could ever imagine. Don't be left out, don't miss the opportunity to accept Him as your personal Saviour. He is coming to receive His own to be with Him in Heaven for Eternity. 

Gospel Meeting 22/06/2014

Mr. Keith Clayton read Numbers 21 vs.4-9 and John 3 vs.14-21
The Serpent on a Pole.
Keith began by giving an outline of the experiences of the Children of Israel from slavery to the wilderness including the Passover and the Red Sea highlighting the many wonderful things that God had done for them and how special they were to Him.
The people were always moaning they would always take from God but were reluctant to give anything back to Him.
It is the same today people have a wrong idea of God, they blame God for everything and yet don't feel any accountability to Him. God hates sin and must punish it our sin brings judgement.
The people confessed and repented and God provided a way of escape from the snake bites.
Romans 6 vs.23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
We need to confess and repent and have a right relationship with God through faith and belief in the finished work of the Lord Jesus on the cross where He shed His blood for us. He died for our sin not His own.
Like the Israelites we should look and live, there is no worth in ourselves it is all of Christ.
God's grace brings Salvation through faith.

Gospel Meeting 15/06/2014

Mr. John Clegg read Luke 2 vs.25-30, John 1 vs.45-49, and John 20 vs.19-29

1/ Simeon - Mine eyes have seen thy Salvation.
We don't know the future we don't know how long we have left on this earth, bur do we know who holds the future.
Christians may not die before they see their Lord.
Are you ready, you need to make an individual decision for Christ.

2/ Nathaniel - Thou art the Son of God the King of Israel.
"Can any good thing come out of Nazareth." Every good thing came out of Nazareth in Jesus Christ.
They nailed the carpenter to a cross of wood using nails.
He was always doing good, He was always pleasing God, yet He was despised and rejected.
He can never fail, lie, disappoint, break a promise, sin.

3/ Thomas - My Lord and my God.
Sadness turned to joy Thomas wasn't there the first time and he doubted.
Blessed are they who have not seen yet have believed.
He died on the cross and shed His blood for us and calls us blessed, will you trust Him for Salvation.
We will all see Him one day either as our Saviour or our judge, which is it for you.

Gospel Meeting 08/06/2014

Mr. Graham Stanley read John 4 vs.1-30 and vs.39-42
The Woman at the Well
Although the Jews had no dealings with the Samaritans Jesus spoke to her to her great surprise.
He loved her for who she was, He loves you and me.
His love is so great that He died for us so that we might be saved.
He was fully God and fully man but without sin.
He left His Fathers side to come to earth Emmanuel - God with us.
He came to Redeem us to shelter us from judgement as with the Passover we are sheltered by the blood.
God see's us He knows us and yet loves us and sent His Son to deal with our sin, He doesn't forget it He takes it away.
He died was buried and rose again on the third day, He then ascended.
Have we grown cold, come see a man.
If you are not saved you firstly need an awareness of your sin, you need to repent of your sin and put your faith and trust in the Lord Jesus. Then you will be a child of God, bought with the precious blood of the Lord Jesus, He should be the master of your life.

Gospel Meeting 01/06/2014

Mr. David Flett read Luke 23 vs.32-47 and 24 vs.1-8
Three Crosses
One man had sin on Him but not in Him. The Cross of Redemption.
One man had sin in him and on him. The Cross of Rejection.
One man had sin in him but not on him. The Cross of Reception.

When sin came in God asked where art thou?
When the Saviour came men asked where is He?


 1/ All out guilt and punishment was laid on Him. He shed His precious blood. Why? because He truly loves us beyond measure.
He died was buried but the grave could not hold Him, He arose. The cross still has it's saving power today.
2/ He died without making peace with God, he went to a lost Eternity in his sin, his heart was hardened there was no remorse.
Today people harden their hearts towards Him people don't even like to hear the Saviours name mentioned, there is a growing hatred against Him.
3/He was sorry and he admitted his guilt, he put his faith in Christ the sinless one. He was condemned to death on earth but assured of a life in Heaven. "The vilest offender that truly believes that moment from Jesus a pardon receives."
He was a sinner saved by grace through faith.
People today still think it is necessary to contribute in some way to their Salvation but it is the free gift of God through Christ.
He believed Jesus was sinless.
He called Him Lord.
He believed He had a kingdom.
He believed that He was going to that kingdom.
He believed that He had authority in that kingdom.
He believed that there was life after the cross.
What is your decision is like the 2nd man or the 3rd man will you repent and put your trust in the Saviour.
