Pastor John looks back at a time of great trouble, recorded in the Bible. In 2 Samuel 24, Israel is struck by a plague that in 3 days killed 70,000 people. Whose fault was it? What was the cause? How could it be stopped? This ancient story sheds light on today’s Coronavirus pandemic and offers some suggests about what we need to do.

Pastor John shares some thoughts about the words of Jesus. Jesus had great faith it the authority, power and effectiveness of His words. Even when nothing seemed to happen immediately, he know that, like a seed in the soil, His word was having an effect and would produce change.

Pastor John shares a message on Jesus’ parable about the wise and foolish builders. The wise man built his house on a good foundation but the foolish man built his house on sand. Both houses were hot by a storm. The house on the sand was destroyed. But surely, no one is so stupid to build a house with no proper foundation? Jesus uses the story about how people prepare their lives, for the future. He claims that the surest foundation for life, is the application of His teaching.

Prepared for the second week of the Coronavirus lock down, this simple and short message is about Jesus words in Matthew chapter 7, verses 13 and 14. The Lord speaks about two ways being set before every human being; the way to destruction and the way to life. Jesus calls us to enter through the narrow gate into life.

This morning pastor John preaches on the call of Jesus. Jesus often called people to come to Him or follow Him. He called those who were burden with life to come to him and exchange their burden for the spiritual rest that he gives. He called those who were thirsty and parched in their soul and spirit, to come to Him and receive “living waters”. People today have the same needs as Jesus’ original audience. We too need to respond to His message.
