Gospel Tent ’17: Adoniran Judson – The Reality of Being Lost (40 mins)

Eugene Higgins preaches a searching and solemn message on a number of “pressing realities” that you need to face. The reality of death, of being deceived, of being lost, of being awakened to your danger…and of being saved (based on 2 Cor 4:3-6). In addition to telling parts of his own testimony of salvation, Mr Higgins uses the life story of Adoniram Judson as the springboard for his message. (Message preached June 6th 2017)

Gospel Tent ’17: Sir James Simpson – Christ My Substitute (42 mins)

Eugene Higgins preaches a powerful message on Christ – a substitute required, provided and received. The hopelessness and helplessness of the sinner’s situation is laid bare; then Christ is introduced as the substitute who experiences and accomplishes what the sinner never could. Mr Higgins uses the life story of Sir James Simpson as the springboard for his message. (Message preached June 5th 2017)

Gospel Tent ’17: Perpetua and Felicitas – Eternal Happiness (33 mins)

Eugene Higgins preaches on two questions: “Why is happiness so elusive and temporary on earth?”, and “Why is happiness so eternal and unbroken in heaven?” The reason is clear when one understands the effects of sin – a force which has robbed humanity of a relationship with God, of significance and meaning, and of hope after death.  Mr Higgins uses the story of Perpetua and Felicitas – and the meaning of their names – as the springboard for this message.…

The Mount of Olives (38 mins)

Thomas West preaches on the topic of the Mount of Olives in relation to the Lord Jesus. The Mount of Olives is where the Lord “went apart”, was “alone”, was “arrested”, from where he “ascended” and to where He will “arrive” on His return. An instructive and practical look at this interesting subject. Readings: John 7, Matt 26, Acts 1 and Zech 14 (Message preached May 11th 2017)

The Battle of the Ages (42 mins)

Jonathan Black preaches on the battle of the ages between “the woman’s seed” and “the devil’s seed”. He starts at Gen 3:15 (the Bible’s first prophecy) and works his way through to the book of Revelation, demonstrating that despite the unrelenting and frequent attempts of Satan to attack and destroy “the woman’s seed”, Christ’s eventual and total triumph is sure and certain (Message preached May 4th 2017)

Moses the Intercessor (28 mins)

Aaron Colgan preaches on “Moses the intercessor” from Exod 32. He outlines the 3 oft-repeated “steps away from God” taken by people throughout history, and likens the dreadful condition of Israel at the base of Mount Sinai (worshipping the golden calf) to the condition of our nation today. How Aaron and Moses reacted to this crisis revealed the difference between compromise on the one hand and godly firm leadership on the other (Message preached 27th April 2017)

Good King Josiah (38 mins)

Peter Scarsbrook preaches on “good King Josiah” and draws lessons from the last great revival King of Judah. Though set a poor example by his father, and though young when he ascended to the throne, God mightily used the “boy King” to bring revival to God’s people (Message given 20th Apr 2017)

Luther and the Word

Easter Conference 2017 – David Gilliland preaches on the Word of God, which we are to hold, handle correctly and herald forth.

In a wide ranging biographical message, Mr Gilliland sets forth the courageous and history-making stand that Luther took under God, the good of which we still feel to…
