Mr. Graham Swift read Hebrews 6 vs.1-6, and John 8 vs.31-36.
John 8 vs.36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
2 cages
Are we imprisoned by our own pride and what others think of us, or are we a backslider. Does our sin sadden us or do we excuse it?
Are we just professers or are we genuinely saved? If we are saved and have just been ensnared God will bring us through, but if our Salvation is just a pretense the we need to repent and put our faith in Jesus Christ.
Sin is a heart problem, we are going against God's Holy Law. God has given us a conscience but we can override it, we are captives of sin. We need to see ourselves as we are but we can never work out our own Salvation.
It needed the Saviour to shed His blood and die, He gained the victory for us at Calvary. We must repent and believe then we are sinners saved by grace.

Gospel Meeting 17/01/2016
Mr. Brian Nixon read 2 Peter 3 vs.1-18.
"It is no secret what God can do."
This meeting is if the Lord will, it could be the last He could come again before next Sunday!
Are we ready and waiting for His coming or are material things more important to us.
It could be today, are you saved?
Hebrews 9 vs.28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

1 Thessalonians 4 vs.16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
"The Lord Himself."
1 Corinthians 15 vs.52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
No one knows when there will be no warning so it is vital to be ready.
We are either a slave of Satan or a slave of Jesus Christ there is no middle ground.
Jesus died for us if we do not trust Him now it could be too late and we would be left to face judgement and Hell.
John 3 vs.16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Gospel Meeting 10/01/2016
Mr. Laurence Jones read Psalm 1 and Luke 2 vs.1-20.
Luke 2 vs.10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
"God became a man."
Only the shepherds and wise men knew, His was a humble birth.
God despises a proud look.
God can't stand sin, our sin brings consequences it deserves judgement and Hell..
The good news is Christ died for our sin, He is Christ the Lord. He is Christ the Lord and He identifies with us. He was rich but became poor.
He was the only one who could deal with our sin, He went to the cross, and took God's wrath upon Himself. There is Salvation in none other.
There is haste, they made known the news and praised and glorified God.
He is a Saviour who saves people from their sin.

Gospel Meetings 27/12/2015 & 03/01/2016
Dr. Gareth Crossley spoke at both meetings.
The first one he spoke about suffering in the world and although it is not good to suffer God can use it for our blessing. He also spoke about how that God suffered in Jesus Christ far more than we could suffer when He died on the cross to bring about our Salvation.
This week Gareth read Romans 6 vs.16-23.
"Slavery"
Romans 6 vs.23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Is slavery always a bad thing? Some chose to remain slaves and had their ears pierced to show that they loved their masters and wanted to continue with them.
Paul, Peter, Jude and James all referred to themselves as slaves of Jesus Christ. We can't repay God for what He has done for us, but we can tell/show Him how much we love Him.
We are either slaves to sin/Satan, which brings death and separation from God and all thats good, and we are under the judgement of God which is final.
OR
We are slaves to righteousness/God/Jesus Christ. The free gift of God is eternal life, fullness of joy, happiness, holiness and pleasures for evermore.
The Gospel should not be accepted as mere obedience of the will or emotion of the heart but through the mind understanding the doctrine and teaching of the good news of the Gospel.
Jesus became a man conceived by the Holy Spirit He is without sin. He is God our righteousness, He never sinned and always did what was right and pleased His Father.
"It is finished" - triumph and victory.
He became what He most detested sin He bore the penalty of our sin on the cross. We must see ourselves from God's viewpoint and repent of our sin and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
