Speaker: Jack Douglas (Cleator Moor)
Missionary Report
Jack gave a missionary report of his work in Papua New Guinea (PNG). Jack and his wife settled with the Pawaian tribe in and lived there for 37 years. They learned the language over many years and translated the Bible. Today many of the Pawaians have become Christians and their lives have been transformed by the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Gospel Meeting
Reading: Acts 4: 1-12
Topic: Mediators
There is only one name that can save us, the name of Jesus.
We are enemies of God the Bible tells us (Colossians 1:21) and our sin separates us from God.
God's standard is holy perfection.
Jesus became our mediator, bearing our sin on the cross, to bring us to God if we believe on Him.
'Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.' Acts 4:12

Sunday 19th May Gospel Meeting
Speaker: Terry Martin (Castleford)
Reading: Isaiah 48:16-22
Topic: Is Real Peace Obtainable Today?
Isaiah's message to the children of Israel is the same message God is bringing to us today.
Real peace is having the Prince of Peace (Jesus) as your Lord and Saviour. Jesus has made a way to God for us, He has paid the price, by dying on the cross for our sins. If you trust Him you will find peace.

GOSPEL MEETING 12/05/2013
Mr. Malcolm Neate from Leeds read Luke 15 vs.3-13 and 17-24.
He spoke about being lost.
The sheep wandered off and needed a seeking shepherd.
The coin was lost without doing anything, we are born in sin and it needed the light of the Holy Spirit to be found.
The son deliberately was lost and had to acknowledge his sin and needed the grace of his father to lovingly welcome him back.
God can forgive all our sin, He smote His Son on the cross and He paid the price for our sin and bore the judgement of God.
The sheep was brought home on the shepherds shoulders.
The coin was grasped securely in her hand.
The son was hugged warmly by his father.
Best robe - new man.
Ring - new relationship.
Shoes - new walk.
Believers will forever be rejoicing in His presence.
Unbelievers will forever be lost in Hell.

GOSPEL MEETING 05/05/2013
Mr David Heyhoe from Hull read Exodus 26 vs.15-30 and Acts 2 vs.11-24 &36-47
David started off following our recent "theme" of "the way" the only way to God is through the Lord Jesus and His death for us.
Then he spoke about the boards and the bars in the Tabernacle representing those who make up the Church and the things that link us together and he mentioned that it was and is the place where God dwells and has His presence.
Acts 2 vs.42 ¶ And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
The 4 bars;
Doctrine - "thy word is truth" teaching beware of Satan's subtle attacks.
Fellowship - care and support for each other not expecting from others without being prepared to give.
Breaking Bread - always remember the Lord's death till He come, precious times.
Prayers - dependence on God for guidance not always asking but worshiping.
The 5th bar within speaks of the Holy Spirit which ties us together and brings unity and togetherness we are tied together.
We should continue steadfastly in these things to the glory of God and our spiritual wellbeing.

Speaker: Percy Hope (Scarborough)
Key Readings:
Psalm 37 vs. 1-17
John 14 vs. 1-6
Isaiah 30 v. 21
Subject: The Way
Percy spoke about some of the miracles Jesus carried out during his life (refer Mark 2 vs. 1-12; Luke 6 vs. 17-19; Mark 1 vs. 40-45).
Matthew 7 vs. 13, 14, 21-23, tell us about the broad and narrow way. Most people are on the broad road which leads to destruction. They are ignorant of the teachings of Jesus. The Bible tells us concerning the narrow road, 'few there be that find it.' We need to strive to reach the narrow gate that leads to life. Acts 14 v. 22 tells us Christians will suffer tribulation on the pathway to heaven. Its not an easy path but it is the only way to heaven and its through Jesus Christ. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life no man comes unto God except through Me."

Speaker: Philip Gibson (Cutsyke)
Reading: Luke Ch. 24 vs.13-35
Subject: On The Road With Jesus
The Christian pathway is not always easy, there will be times of discouragement and sadness as well as the good and happy times. The two disciples were walking on the road the third day after Jesus' death, not realising that He had already risen that day. Jesus drew near to them on the road but they did not recognise Him. Sometimes it can seem that we are far from God even when He is near.
Jesus challenged them about their lack of faith in what the scriptures had foretold about His death and resurrection, how that He would die for sins but rise again in victory over sin and death. How much are we trusting in God and following Him day by day?
The two disciples, not yet knowing it was Jesus, invited Him to stay with them for the night. It was when they were eating supper that their eyes were opened to who Jesus was. How intimate are we with Jesus? Are we letting Him into every area of our lives and developing our relationship with Him?
Their hearts burned within them as they talked with Jesus. They loved being with Jesus. How much do you love Jesus and enjoy spending time with Him?

GOSPEL MEETING 14/04/2013
Mr. William Horsburgh read Luke 19 vs.1-27
"For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost."
Zacchaeus was rich and powerful and very corrupt and we can relate to that in our day and those sort of people are the last people we would think would be saved but these things are irrelevant when it comes to salvation. A meeting with the Lord Jesus is what is important he wanted to see Jesus and Jesus came to meet him. He genuinely turned to Jesus for it is only He who can satisfy, He paid the price to set people free.
