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.

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.

Gospel Meeting 22/02/2015
Mr. Phillip Richardson read Psalm 84.
Being happy as a Christian still happens when we go through sad times.
Psalm 8 vs.3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
God cares for us and loves us so much that He sent His Son to die for us. If we don't trust Him as our Saviour we will face everlasting judgement in Hell.
We can have victory through the strength of God. If we feel that there is something in our lives that God won't or can't forgive we are wrong He will forgive and save you.
It is important to read the Bible it brings us face to face with God. It is not always easy to be a Christian but He gives us rest and peace.
The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and His finished work shows that He paid the price for my sin, He rose never to die again. He conquered death so that we might live. You will never experience true peace and rest without Him. He loves you more than anyone else ever can. A Christian is always with God. HAPPY! He saw them toiling even though they couldn't see Him.

vs.5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.
You are either a servant of God or a slave to sin. We must humble ourselves and accept God's complete control of our lives, it is not something to be taken lightly, but He takes care of those who trust Him, He is our sun and shield. He gives us a meaningful and purposeful life, without Him your life is empty. "Happiness is to know the Saviour."
Gospel Meeting 15/02/2015
Mr. George Clamp read Luke 15 vs.11-32
The younger son went away into sin but he realised the situation he was in and repented and decided to go home. He received a warm welcome back which shows the fathers love, if we repent and return to the Father He will receive us warmly and demonstrate His love.
The older brother judged his brother and displayed pride, envy, and condemnation. Both brothers did wrong, both would have broken their fathers heart. What is our relationship with the Father we should follow Him. Loving one another is not an option. The father loved them both.
Philippians 1 vs.21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

Dr. Gareth Crossley read Romans 1 vs.1-4 and 16-21.
The righteousness of God;
1/ Explained.
2/ Revealed.
3/ Fulfilled.
4/ Applied.
1/ Moral perfection, Holiness, definition of what is good, virtue, God is love, God is light. (no darkness).
2/ When the righteousness is revealed to us we realise how great a barrier there is between us and God.
3/ Romans 8 vs.2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
The righteousness of God is fulfilled in Jesus Christ, He is righteous God and Righteous man. They brought false accusations against Him and condemned Him to death falsely, and they are responsible for their actions, but it was all God's plan. His death was prophesied long before crucifixion was introduced. He doesn't want our pity, He wants our love, worship and devotion.
Our sin was accounted to Him and God punished His Son for our sin to fulfill all righteousness.
4/God is unspeakably gracious, merciful and kind.
Our sin in the eyes of God is far worse than ever we can realise but Jesus died, His grace is sufficient.
There must be repayment, if we are wronged we expect justice how much more God and His justice is separation from Him. Sin can never satisfy don't turn your back on God.
Romans 3 vs. 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
How could God give up His Son to die in that way. He clothes us in a robe of righteousness, He looks at us and sees Jesus and His righteousness. Repent and believe the Gospel.

Gospel Meeting 01/02/2015
Dr. Gareth Crossley read John 3 vs.14-16 and Numbers 21 vs.4-9.
We are never commanded to be born again, but we are commanded to repent and believe.
We need to see things from God's perspective, we are sinners before Him.
1/ doing what is wrong.2/ not doing what is right to God's standard.
God's love is pure and intense and Holy.
The wages of sin is death, the soul that sins will die.
They realised that they had sinned against God and offended Him.
They had to look and live.
We have to believe and live.
Jesus bore all our sins as if they were His own and God punished His Son for them all.
2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
The serpent was the cause of sin in Genesis, and the serpent on the pole was a picture, a lesson about Jesus dying on the cross so that we could live, He was punished in our place, which shows us the love of God to us
