Sermons from 2015 (Page 4)
Joshua – Conquest of Jericho (26 mins)
Joshua Jacob preaches on the conquest of Jericho and the salvation of Rahab. Rahab’s deliverance is a unique example of the grace and mercy of God to sinners. The scarlet thread, the promise of the spies and the blowing of the trumpets are all given a gospel application. Some interesting footnotes about Jericho and archaeology are included in this message (Message preached 8th Mar 2015)
Robert Plant’s Testimony of Salvation (45 mins)
Robert Plant relates his life story and his conversion to Christ. Raised without religion, Robert’s main interests were Cricket (he is a Yorkshireman) and Country & Western Music.

Listen to the wonderful story of the grace of God to Robert as the Holy Spirit moved to open his understanding to see that Christ is the…
Joshua – His Call and Character (26 mins)
Josh Jacob introduces the character of Joshua, the successor of Moses, who led the children of Israel into their inheritance. A slave in Egypt, a servant to Moses, a spy searching out the land and a soldier in battle.

The Assembly – A Gathering Like No Other (42 mins)
Tom West preaches on the uniqueness of the local assembly. He stresses the non-negotiable nature of the doctrine of the local New Testament church and highlights its preciousness to God. Precious because it belongs to Christ, because Christ is there, because it speaks of Christ and because it is a home for those who belong to Christ. There is nothing like it in the current dispensation – a unique gathering! (Message preached 5th Feb 2015)
David, A Man after God’s own Heart (25 mins)
Colin Raggett preaches on the young David’s experiences – after the prophet Samuel anointed him King in Jesse’s house – when he became the object of King Saul’s jealousy and rage. The dire and dangerous situation David faced was a time of “growth in his soul”. Such are the Lord’s designs with us when He brings us into difficulties and trial (Message preached 25th Jan 2015)
Christ – A Saviour Like No Other (43 mins)
David Castles preaches on the uniqueness of Christ, viewing His place in prophecy, society, history and eternity. It takes 4 separate gospels to begin to unfold the greatness of Him who is a King like no other, a servant like no other, a man like no other and a Son like no other. Christ is not one among many great teachers and leaders – He stands unique as the peerless Saviour and mighty Redeemer (Message preached 22nd Jan 2015)
The Church at Smyrna (21 mins)
Jonathan Black preaches a challenging message on the church at Smyrna (Rev 2:8-11). This 1st century assembly featured poor persecuted Christians, yet the Lord says of them “Thou art rich”. However, of the neighbouring assembly in Laodicea, who claimed they were rich, the Lord says “Thou art poor”. What made the difference and what can we learn from the Lord’s assessment? (Message preached 18th Jan 2015)
The Bible – A Book Like No Other (44 mins)
Josh Jacob preaches on the uniqueness of the Bible, the only “God-breathed” book in the world. The Bible is neither ancient nor modern – it is timeless! Josh outlines the doctrine of inspiration and explains how the Bible was given to us and has been preserved through the centuries. Though it has been attacked and men have sought to undermine it and destroy it, the Bible still stands as the infallible, inerrant Word of the living God (Message preached 8th…
