Random sermon quote: "Can I ask you: what are you preparing your children for? Education is good and ought not to be neglected, and a career is advisable to keep body and soul together, but the bottom line is: many, in favouring those first two options, have neglected the spiritual welfare of their children and of their home. Manoah did not" - Samson, The Promising Start

Latest Sermon - "The Necessity Of Jesus" - --
If Jesus is enough, and we profess that He is, we must make Him and Him alone central to our lives and central to our churches. There must be no competition. If there is something else in His place, or striving for preeminence; if there's someone else, for that matter, in His place; we must depose it, or him, or her, and enthrone Christ. The biggest obstacle in Christ's way in my life is David Legge. Ourselves can be the greatest blockage to that fellowship and that preeminence of Jesus, the Lordship of Christ.
It could be sin, personal besetting sin that we have not overcome yet that is robbing us. It could be selfishness in a worldly sense, or even in the spiritual sphere - selfish ambition in the place of ministry. It could even be an agenda that we have in our churches. I'm not suggesting for one moment that this is what has motivated your year of evangelism, but I do know having moved around a little doing Gospel Missions that some churches - some of them have been Baptist churches - have been motivated to have a mission to unite a divided church. It doesn't work, and you'll kill the evangelist in the process! Neither must our evangelism be motivated by filling the church, or keeping the denominational end up. It must be for Christ and Christ alone - and I believe that unless it is the glory of Christ that is central, God will not give the increase! He will not share His glory with another!

"Old Paths" | PDF | Kindle | ePUB
by J.C. Ryle
It was the prophet Jeremiah who first used the expression 'old paths' and assured those who followed them that they would find 'rest for their souls' (Jeremiah 6:16). J.C. Ryle was of the same conviction and wrote: 'The longer I live the more I am convinced that the world needs no new Gospel, as some profess to think. I am thoroughly persuaded that the world needs nothing but bold, full, unflinching teaching of the 'old paths''.
This is a series of systematically arranged papers on the leading truths of Christianity. Helpful thoughts will be found here on such topics as the inspiration of Scripture, the soul, sin, forgiveness, justification, the Holy Spirit, faith, repentance, election and much more.
J. C. RYLE (1816-1900) was a prominent writer, preacher, and Anglican clergyman in nineteenth-century Britain. He is the author of the classic 'Expository Thoughts on the Gospels' and retired as the bishop of Liverpool.
Available to order from amazon.com and amazon.co.uk, and also available as a FREE PDF, Kindle or ePUB ebook from Preach The Word - 536 pages.
