Sunday 26th February

Stephen Downs (Harrogate) read from Luke Chapter 24 and 1 Corinthians Chapter 15 concerning the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He spoke on the resurrection, "the resurrection is the greatest truth in all of scripture." The one who was resurrected was the sinless one who was made sin for us. He was resurrected by the glory of God the Father who accepted the sacrifice of His Son. He was seen by over 500 people at one time as well as all of his disciples as proof he rose from the dead. The purpose of his death and resurrection is to make many people righteous.

John Richardson (Harrogate) read from Acts Chapter 17 about Paul's witness concerning Christ to the Athenians at the Areopagus. The Athenians in Paul's day, shortly after Jesus' death were religious people, but they worshipped a God they did not know. Paul declared to them who God is. Hi is the Creator of the world, he gives life to us and determines our time on earth. Paul revealed that God now commands all me everywhere to repent because God has set a day when He will judge the world by Jesus Christ whom He raised from the dead. It is through believing in Jesus that we have forgiveness and are able to come before God with our sins cleansed because Jesus died for us.

Sunday 5th February

Philip Martin (Leeds), formally a member of the fellowship spoke on Psalm 23. David, the writer of the Psalm, testified to the Lord as his shepherd. David knew all about shepherding as he was a shepherd himself. The Lord as our shepherd provides for us, leads us and restores us. He gives us the power to do what is right, and his presence dispels fear in the day of trouble. Those of us who are His sheep will live with Him forever.

Sunday 29th January

Stuart Gordon from Harrogate read from Luke Chapter 19 verses 1-10 about Zacchaeus, a tax collector in the time of Jesus. Zac wanted to see Jesus and had to climb a tree to be able to do so because he was a small man and there were a lot of people in the crowd. Are people stopping you from seeing Jesus? He was also a rich man through dishonest gain, taking more taxes from people than he should. Jesus was interested in him. Jesus deals with people personally, and asked Zac could he come to his house to meet him. Zac received him willingly and his life was transformed. He gave half his wealth to the poor and restored four times the people he had cheated.

Sunday 22nd January

John Walls from the fellowship read from John's Gospel Chapter 3 and spoke about the need to be born again. Without the new birth, which is a Spiritual birth through faith in Jesus, we cannot see and we cannot enter the kingdom of God. Jesus Christ was crucified upon a cross the we might live forever with Him. He died for our sin that we might not perish.

Sunday 17th January

Peter Jones from the fellowship read from Genesis chapter 22 and Colossians Ch 1 verses 15-20. He spoke on the similarities between Abraham and Isaac and God the Father and God the Son. Abraham was asked to sacrifice Isaac on the alter but in the end God spared him from taking his son's life. When Jesus dies God did not spare His Son but punished Him for our sins.
