… for having me with you today. It’s a great joy to be here. As David said, I’m a ministry trainee at St. Silas Church in the West End. It’d be a great help if you could keep your Bibles open at Acts chapter 17. It’s page 1113 in the church Bibles. And let me pray and ask for God’s help as we begin. Almighty Father, we thank you for how you speak t…

Well, we’ve come to the end of this excellent series in the communicable attributes of God. These are his attributes which he is pleased to share, not in an absolute way, but in a gracious and a limited way with his children, with those who are amongst the family of God, who know God as our Heavenly Father and the Lord Jesus Christ as our Saviour. …

We’re continuing our series in the parables of Jesus under the general title, Provocative. And as we move through our parable this morning, I think we’re going to discover that of all the parables Jesus taught, this is one of the most provocative. Let’s begin this morning by taking you back to first-year science. (0:27 – 2:07) You remember the litm…

(0:00 – 0:48) Good evening, everyone. We’re going to be continuing our series this evening on God is, and tonight we’re going to be thinking about God is patient. It’s a very big subject, and there is an awful lot of evidence throughout Scripture about God’s patience, whether it’s explicit or implicit. It may be through phraseology or different pas…

(0:00 – 2:30) We continue in your presence, we thank you for this opportunity once again to share your word together. We thank you for the truth of your word. Your word is truth. Your word is light. Your word is life. Your word is love. Your word is eternal. And we just pray this we spend this time spending a time considering and thinking and study…

Thanks Douglas, good evening everybody. We’ve not got an opening Bible passage tonight, it’s a bit more of a kind of topical kind of Bible study, but we do have quite a lot of verses to look at, but they’ll be on the screen to save you having to sort of fumble about continually. Well we live in a world that seems to be obsessed by justice. The dema…

(0:00 – 0:23) God is glorious, that’s what we’re looking at together tonight in this series. Now, it’s the time of year, isn’t it, when you get wasps and blue bottles in your house? And they fly repeatedly into windows, yes. They sense the light, don’t they? They know to fly that way, but they can’t seem to sense that there’s glass. (0:24 – 1:23) A…

(0:00 – 1:49) Let’s open our Bibles together to Luke’s Gospel, the Gospel account of Jesus’ life in Luke, and chapter 14. The NIV describes the parable we’re going to look at as the parable of the great banquet. Luke 14, from verse 15. 15 When one of those at the table with him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is the one who will eat at the f…

(0:00 – 0:23) Transcript As we begin this message on the faithfulness of God, I’d like you to consider that in 2024, the word faithful is in decline. It’s in decline. Now, this might surprise you if you come around church regularly, because we use the word faithful all the time. (0:24 – 1:27) But outside the church, beyond the bubble of the church,…

(0:00 – 0:24) Transcript Look at chapter 12 verses 13 to 21. Someone in the crowd said to him, Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me. Jesus replied, Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you? Then he said to them, Watch out, be on your guard against all kinds of greed. (0:25 – 0:34) A man’s life does not consist i…

(0:00 – 2:56) Asking the question, what is God like? What is God like? And each week we’re answering that by saying God is something. God is something. So last week God is love, and this week God is holy. And we’re getting these, of course, from the Bible. So we’re not guessing who God is, we are discovering who He is from the Scriptures themselves…

(0:00 – 1:58) One occasion, an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. Teacher, he asked, what must I do to inherit eternal life? What is written in the law, he replied, and how do you read it? He answered, love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind. And love your neighbor as you…

(0:00 – 4:49) In the YF, maybe 35 years ago, we used to do memory verses, and one of the exercises that we did was to memorize the 3:16s in the New Testament, or at least six of them. Your mind’s already gone to John 3:16, but we did 1 Corinthians 3:16, Colossians 3:16, 1 and 2 Timothy 3:16, and then the last of that six was 1 John 3:16, and I want…

(0:00 – 0:11) Well, let me give you my own welcome tonight. What a wonderful topic we have tonight. It has thrilled me and it has scared me in equal measure. (0:11 – 0:23) And I just want to pray as we look at this big topic. I’ve had to come to peace that I’m, but I would love you to embrace it and to know it and for it to grip your heart. So let’…

(0:00 – 2:18) We start a series this morning on the parables of Jesus, and I would love it if you would turn back with me to Luke’s gospel and chapter 8. Let’s look back at this parable that many consider to be a foundational parable. Matthew, Mark, and Luke all tell this parable first. It seems that there’s something of a priority, something of a …

(0:00 – 2:28) We’ve arrived at the final talk on handling the Bible with care, and we come last but certainly not least to where the rubber meets the road in terms of application. I once heard a preacher make the most basic of points that when you apply anything, there is contact with a surface. The rubber comes into contact with the surface of the…

This morning, Zach Watt concludes this series on 1st Timothy with Paul’s final commands for Timothy and the church. See transcript below. (0:00 – 0:45) Well, let me add my welcome to you all this morning to, if you have a Bible with you or perhaps one in front of you, turn please to the end of this letter that we’ve been looking at over the last fe…

This evening, Colin Adams continues the series on Handling the Word of God wisely. In previous weeks we have looked at: taking it in ‘Context’, ‘Observing’ the format of the text, and making sure of its ‘Meaning’. These are all important but this evening colin shows that the whole of the Bible, both the old and the new testament are Christ centred.…

This morning, Andy Hunter looks at the second last passage in our series on 1st Timothy. In this, Paul is urging Timothy to remember his conversion from a sinner facing judgement to a child of God when he trusted Jesus to save him. He urges him to live up to his new status. Not to give in to the opposition he will meet. To remember that the victory…

This evening, David Wylie continued the ‘Handle with Care’ series with advice on how to make sure that we read the true meaning out of the text, and avoid reading our own meaning into it. The post “Meaning” – Handle with Care #4 appeared first on Greenview Church.By GreenviewChurch

This evening, David Wylie uses the words of Psalm 119 v 18, “Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law”, as an introduction to his message. In it, he encourages us to see that, the way it is told helps to understand the Bible’s meaning. He shows how the various genres, structures and the language used, act as pointers to aid understa…

This Morning, Michael Healey looks at Paul’s instructions to Timothy about elders: their support, their selection, their protection and, if necessary, their correction. The post A word to the church about elders – 1 Timothy Ch5v17to25 appeared first on Greenview Church.By GreenviewChurch

This Evening, Colin Adams continues the series on reading the Bible with care to gain correct understanding. Today, he shows the importance of context for meaning. The immediate context is very important. To ensure full understanding, wider rings of context are necessary. The post “Context” – Handle with Care #2 appeared first on Greenview Church.…

This morning Andy Hunter looks at the care we should have for one another in our church family. We should treat each one with respect in every way. In the passage, Paul then focuses in on the care for widows. In our culture, that is not the concern that it was in their time. However, the principles remain the same in present day Christian care for …
