Taking Philippians 2:5-8, the focus for this last Sunday before Christmas was on the great humility and lowliness of Jesus, who gave up everything for us.

Christian Maturity is one of the most common themes of the Bible, but there is some confusion over whose responsibility it actually is. This talk seeks to unearth the answer, and, being grounded in John 15, includes a look at the link with spiritual fruit.

This short talk was part of a panel evening on ‘Practical Evangelism’. My topic was that of handling questions from non-Christians, looking at principles involved rather than the answers. For the complete audio from the evening, go to the Harvest Church website.

Taking Matthew 5:14-16 as a starting point, this talk looks at our responsibility to reach those who live around us, with a number of practical ways this can be undertaken.

This passage is one of the most complex in all Scripture, yet at its heart it contains simple truth about the Gospel. By drawing Adam as a comparison alongside Jesus, we see the all-surpassing grace that is avaiable ‘in Christ’.

The second of the WORDplus sessions on the Doctrine of the Church (Soteriology). This session attempts to deal with the antinomious conflict between Calvinism and Arminianism.  Where do you stand? (See all WORDplus talks)

The Bible constantly exhorts us to live differently from the world around – so much so that it can be overwhelming. Matthew 6:31-34 gives us a very simple principle helping us in living the Christian life.

In 1 Cor 3:10-15, Paul uses an architectural metaphor to give teaching, warning and encouragement to Christians as they build for God. How are you building?

As Christians we focus a lot on Jesus' death, but what about the resurrection? Did Jesus really rise from the dead? And does it really matter if he did or not? This talk tackles these, and other, questions, and includes a brief look at what happens when a person dies.

The last in a series of Life Group studies on Joshua, this short talk looks back on the journey to see how God has led His people.

Foundational doctrine on the Biblical fact that Jesus is God the Son, and the fully human Son of God. This talk also looks at why this is important and what difference it makes to our lives.

Focussing on faithfulness to what we believe God has called us to, this talk looks at Paul's words in Acts 20:22-24 and brings some principles and challenges for us to face up to.

Stumbling Blocks: What are they? And how can we avoid both laying them and tripping over them? This talk includes a look at the 'conscience'.

Part of a series entitled 'Time to Grow', this talk focuses on Godliness, including God's provision and our participation, Christian productivity and God's promises.

Continuing the series on 'Why we do what we do', this talk takes a broad look at eldership including what elders are for, who can be an elder, why we have a team of elders and what the church's response should be.

In a series looking at why we do what we do at Harvest Church, this sermon focuses on the role, importance and purpose of preaching.

The last in the series on spiritual disciplines. Taking Romans 12:1-5, this talk looks at probably the broadest(worship) and the hardest (fellowship) of all the spiritual disciplines.

Not a talk about world religions, but about Counterfeit-Christianity and it's effect on Christians and non-Christians. "Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees!"

The first of two sessions for WORDplus, based at Shepperton Family Church. This session focuses on the person of the Holy Spirit, including His portrayal in the Old Testament and His deity. (See all WORDplus talks)

The second of the WORDplus sessions, looking at the work of the Holy Spirit in creation, mankind and believers. (See all WORDplus talks)

Why is there suffering? What does God allow suffering? How is it possible to rejoice when I'm suffering? This talk aims to tackle these important questions, including giving testimony to some of my own suffering.

Taking Philippians 2:1-11, this, the fifth talk in the series, tackles the two very costly disciplines of submission and service, including how not to do them.

This fourth talk in the series on Spiritual Disciplines focuses on Jesus' teaching on Fasting & Simplicity from the Sermon on the Mount. A practical look at two of the least practised of the disciplines.

Excitement, even in great truth, can wane over time. This talk serves as a reminder that we can approach God with confidence thanks to Jesus - something we should be excited about every day!

This is a short talk for Harvest Church Life Groups on Joshua 1.

The third in the Spiritual Disciplines series, this time looking at my favourite two disciplines. In a world that promotes busy living, we need to know how and even if we really can take time out with God.
