You CAN take it with you! (1) – Luke 12:22-34: Ian Higginbotham

Ian Higginbotham looks at Jesus challenge in Luke 12:22-34.

This is part one of a two part message, part two is here.

The key verse for these message is found in Matthew 6:19-21:

Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.

During this message Ian refers to a Heavenly Treasure Conversion Formula, this is available on the second page of this document: Giving Balance Challenge

On the road to Emmaus – Luke 24: Ian Clarkson

Ian Clarkson looks at an encounter between two disciples and Jesus on the road to Emmaus shortly after the resurrection from Luke 24.

At the start of this talk Ian uses a video to illustrate how we sometimes don’t see what’s clearly visible – the video is here.

Comfort conscious or Mission minded? – 1 Corinthians 9: Andrew Gardner

Andrew Gardner looks at 1 Corinthians 9 and the challenge:

I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.

Catching Up

If you’re a regular podcast listener you will have noticed that things have been a bit slow recently with only one podcast being posted in the last few weeks.

Over the next few days we are planning a bit of a catch-up. So if you start seeing podcasts coming through from weeks ago please don’t be alarmed.

Dawn for the Dead: Andrew Gardner

Amazing things are happening in New York Hospitals. On the the back of wonderful research and practise at Stoneybrook University Hospital, New York is now a good place to have a heart attack.

Sam Parnia a British doctor has pioneered the “Lazarus Effect” of resuscitation; bringing people dead from heart attacks back to life.

In his book “Erasing Death” he says,

“Recent scientific advances have produced a seismic shift in our understanding of death — challenging our perceptions of death as being absolutely implacable and final — and have thus rendered many of our strongest-held views regarding death as outdated and old-fashioned.”

Now that is a great claim , but it sounds familiar; a lot like something which happened about 2000 years ago!

His incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of His mighty strength which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead

Reality Check – When Life Hits the Buffers: Ian Higginbotham

For most of us life is not a smooth journey. Huge climaxes then gut wrenching emptiness. Cataclysmic activity in major life events – good or bad, then activity stops and you’re left bewildered and empty.

The disciples were like that. In this week after Easter the Disciples suddenly find themselves bereaved, yet not bereaved – and wondering what to do next.

There are many of us for whom something has happened leaving a mix of fear and emptiness in our lives.
