Sermon - Steve Crockford - An Encouraging Word - 29th August 2010

20100828 SC Encouraging Words

The Professor looks at 2 Corinthians 2 v 14 to 3 v 6 to point us to God’s comfort for us when we are facing difficult times.  He draws out the principle that when we are weak, then we are strong because of who God is and what He is doing in us.

Steve pursues the twin themes of us being Christ’s fragrant aroma to God, and us being a letter from God to the world (what does our  letter say?).

Rev Paul Davies

Rev Paul Davies

 

In this message, Paul challenges us to look at where we are going in our lives.

Have we got an ambition to do something for God in our lives? Or are we easily put off and have give nup our dreams? What do you want God to do in your life? Or are you just ‘coasting’ through life?

20100718 Simon Marsh - Ruth

Simon Marsh

Simon Marsh

Picking up the theme of becoming what God wants us to be from last week’s message on Gideon, Simon looks at the story of Ruth in our series on ‘You don’t have to be big for God to use you’.

We never know the long-term effect of our present-day actions; Ruth had no idea, when she came home with Naomi, what God had in store for her.  She was obedient to what she was asked to do, and God honoured it.

Simon challenges us to do the same and let God use us, perhaps in ways we cannot envisage.

(In his message, Simon refers to a picture by Salvadore Dali, follow this link to see the picture: http://www.theglasgowstory.com/image.php?inum=TGSE00477 )

Rev Paul Davies

Rev Paul Davies

As we approach the end of our series in ‘You don’t have to be big for God to use you’, Pastor Paul looks at what we can learn from Gideon. From cowering in fear in a wine press, to the saviour of the Israelites - what brought about this dramatic change?

Gideon changed from how he saw himself to how God saw him and his potential.

What about us? Can we change? Will we let God change us so that he can use us in his plans?
