Gospel Meeting 29/03/2015

Mr. Lee McDade (SASRA) read John 1 vs.29-42
Lee gave us a report of the Lord's work at Catterick Garrison and told us of the opportunity to speak to 10,000 recruits each year and provide them with New Testaments and Daily Bread books, and told us of the way the Lord is working in their lives.

"The Lamb of God"
John's Gospel is about the Son of God who gives Eternal life.
He is the Word, the Light, the Son of God, the Lamb, the Messiah, the King, the Son of Man.
Jesus Christ impacted and changed peoples lives in a very significant way when he came into contact with them.
As the Lamb of God He was the sacrifice, He died on the cross  to take away sin. He was given by God for mankind, His Salvation is universal it covers all who come to Him in faith.
What are you seeking, it might be painful as your sin is revealed to you but through repentance and faith you can be forgiven, He will impact your life you will not be the same again.

Gospel Meeting 22/03/2015

Mr. Allistair Patterson read Psalm 20 and Hosea 14 vs.1-9, 10 vs.12-15.
The relationship between God and His people.
They had departed and were warned that they would be brought to ruin.
God's lessen to Israel about being unfaithful was very painful for Hosea.
three children; judgement, no more mercy and not my people.
The people were useless and heartless, but God's instruction to Hosea to go and buy his wife back is a picture of God's love grace and mercy. The people ignore the message they were immoral and they reveled in evil, they had forgotten their maker, they would reap the harvest of what they had sown and be taken into captivity, or the alternative was to sow righteousness and reap mercy. They needed to change right away.
What about our nation?
What about our church?
What about us personally?
We will reap what we sow. God is patient, merciful and gracious.
It is time to turn to God or face judgement.
Trust the Lord Jesus Christ for Salvation, He died on the cross to save you.
We should do the right thing and present ourselves to God by His grace.
Break up your fallow ground prepare your hearts and lives to be used for God. It will be painful are you following God in your Prayer life,
                                            Bible reading,
                                            Surrender to God's will,
                                            Humility,
                                            Forgiveness,
                                            Finances,
                                            Giving,
                                            Moral life,
                                            Thought life,
                                            Family Life,
                                            Worship,
                                            Honesty,
We should be living sacrifices, it is time to seek the Lord, it will be painful but fruitful.

Gospel Meeting 15/03/2015

Mr. Graham Stanley read Psalm 23
Scripture is the inspired Word of God.
Who is the Lord? He is the Eternal God the Almighty One. God has spoken to us by His Son, He was called Jesus because He would save His people from their sins. He is God the Son, God made flesh. He never sinned, God was well pleased with Him. "He who has seen me has seen the Father."
He is the Good Shepherd who gives His life for the Sheep. Is He your Shepherd?
They crucified Him, they taunted Him, He bore the judgement of God, He bore our sins in His body on the tree.
The life is in the blood, and it is blood that makes Atonement for the Soul.
He rose from the dead, my sins were righteously dealt with. He ascended to Heaven. He loved me and gave Himself for me.
All have sinned and sin brings judgement, there is a Hell, so cast all your care on Him.
Once we are saved we are always saved, and we have the Holy Spirit. Then if we confess our sin He will forgive us. We need to pray and read His word, we have three enemies the world ,the flesh, and the Devil.
No fear in death it is the gate to Heaven, the door to glory, we shall be like Him.
He is coming back into the air to receive His own we may not have to pass through death. To be forever with the Lord.
Revelation 21 vs,4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

"Wounded for me,
Wounded for me,
There on the cross He was
Wounded for me.
Gone my transgressions and now I am free
All because Jesus was
Wounded for me."

Repent or perish, believe, receive Him by faith, He will have mercy.
You will have new life in Christ.

Gospel Meeting 08/03/2015

Mr. Craig Maffey read Luke 17 vs.11-19
1/ The person of Christ.
2/ The 10 lepers.
3/ The lone leper.

It was the last journey of the Lord Jesus Christ before His death at Calvary, it was the last opportunity for these lepers to be healed by Him. It could be your last opportunity to hear the Gospel, it doesn't matter where you are from or who you are Salvation is universal.
Come and see Jesus Christ is unique, He is God manifest in flesh the Eternal Son of the Eternal God He is God. The first step we must take is recognising that we are sinners and we need His forgiveness.

The 10 lepers all had the same disease, they were all at a distance, they all asked for the same thing, they all obeyed and they were all cleansed, they all received the same cure.
Ephesians 2 vs.13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

The lone leper turned back (repentance) and fell down and worshiped at His feet (brought near).
His faith made him whole. We need to take God at His Word to be cleansed and forgiven.

Gospel Meeting 01/03/2015

Mr. Phillip Gibson read Ephesians 6 vs.10-20 and 1 Samuel 17 vs.1-42.
He spoke about facing all sorts of giants in our lives and sometimes we try to fight them in our strength instead of God's strength. David faced intense opposition from his family, and if David had fought the battle with Saul's armour and sword the credit would have been down to them and not to God.
Hebrews 11 vs.1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

1 Samuel 17 vs.40  And he took his STAFF in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd’s bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.

Psalm 23 vs.4  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy STAFF they comfort me.

Matthew 27 vs.29  And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a REED in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
30  And they spit upon him, and took the REED, and smote him on the head.

God loves us and cares for us and is with us no matter how dark our circumstances are. Christ died for our sin and we have forgiveness through faith in His finished work. David proved God and we can too. What a testimony it was to the Jews and the Philistines and the nations around.
