Random sermon quote: "Friends, let's not fall into their perversion of the Supper, because these are types of sins that we seem not to take too seriously: division, false thinking about one another, a lack of love, a lack of compassion, a lack of caring for each other and laying our lives down for each other" - Celebrating The Supper Of The Lord

Latest Sermon - "First Come, First Saved" - --
Who beats you in coming to Jesus? Who beats you in repenting and believing? The Bible says the publicans and the prostitutes beat the religious people of their day. The prodigal son who took his father's inheritance and spent it on wine, women and song in the far country; he came home to the father's house, and the father received him. Does he beat you? You mightn't have done what he has done. What about the girl caught in the act of adultery, and the religious men bring her before Jesus wanting Him to give the right to stone that girl - and Jesus said to her: 'I don't condemn you, go and sin no more'. Has she beaten you to Christ? You've maybe never committed adultery, but she's with Him. What about the Samaritan woman who was married five times, and the one she was living with, living in sin with, was not her husband - yet she came to Christ. You may be in a stable relationship, but she has beaten you to Jesus. The demon-possessed man of Gadara is falling at the feet of Jesus, and you're still thinking about it! He had a legion of demons in him, and he's at Jesus' feet before you... [Listen or read more...] - [Permalink]

Fearless Pilgrim: The Life And Times Of John Bunyan
by Faith Cook
John Bunyan is well known as the author of our previous featured book, The Pilgrim's Progress, the seventeenth-century spiritual classic which has been the second best-selling book in the world after the Bible. He was also a much-loved preacher and pastor whom crowds flocked to hear after his release from prison. One contemporary wrote that he 'could weep for joy most part of his sermons'.
But how did Bunyan become such a preacher and writer? In this book you will discover the path which prepared him to be greatly used as a pastor to his own generation and a guide to Christ's pilgrim people still.
In this new and well-written biography, Faith Cook relates John Bunyan to the turbulent times through which he lived, surviving two periods of imprisonment in Bedford prison, sustained by his faith, determined, as he himself wrote 'to live upon God that is invisible'.
Faith Cook avoids the temptation of merely regarding Bunyan as one of the great figures of English literature. That he certainly is, but he is so much more – a physician of souls, much-loved pastor and powerful preacher of the gospel of grace. The authoress skilfully relates her subject to the political history of his times, in which nonconformists won a greater measure of freedom to worship according to their understanding of the Bible during the Cromwellian period, only to be restricted again after the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660.
Bunyan emerges from this book as a writer of plain yet remarkably imaginative prose, steeped in an amazing knowledge of the English Bible. That knowledge is not just textual: it is deeply experimental, the fruit of much meditation, as The Pilgrim’s Progress particularly shows.
Available to purchase from all good book stores, including amazon.com, amazon.co.uk and ICM Books, and also from the publisher, Evangelical Press.
