I Thessalonians 4:13-18 — The Second Coming of Christ is the Christian’s “blessed hope.” For nearly 2,000 years the church has been looking and longing for Jesus to return and make all things right. The Bible has much to say about the Second Coming and the end times. In this sermon series, Steve is going…
Of all the things that Christ has called His disciples to do, personal evangelism is among the most challenging! Many Christians find it difficult to share the Gospel with family members, friends, neighbours, colleagues and acquaintances. In this short study, Steve encourages us to speak the Good News and he gives us a number of…
Genesis 11:27-32 — The journey of Terah’s family from Ur to Haran is more than merely the prequel to the grand story of Abraham’s life. It is an event with rich lessons for our Christian lives as we minster to others and as we experience the hard times that inevitably come.
Genesis 11:10-27 — This passage contains a very precise and detailed genealogy. What we see is a marked decrease in life-span as the generations progress. Why is this so and what does this have to teach us about ageing? In this fascinating lesson, Steve explains the science of ageing and what the Bible has to say…
Genesis 11:7 — From ape-like grunts to Shakespeare’s sonnets in six million years. This is how the secular academy explains the phenomena of language. But is this reasonable?

Genesis 11:5-6 — The devastating truth about the Tower of Babel is that so soon after the Flood the whole human race was united in rebellion against God.

Genesis 11:3-4 — What was it that drove Noah’s descendants to build a tower on the plains of Shinar? What was their aim? What, if anything, can we learn from their example? All these questions Steve discusses as he continues our verse-by-verse study through the Book of Genesis.
Genesis 11:1-2 — The historical context for the Tower of Babel was the disobedience of Noah’s descendants. Commanded by God to “replenish the earth” they decided instead to settle on the plains of Shinar. In this sermon, Steve explains this context and challenges us about the hard choices and hard things we have to do in…
I Corinthians 16:13-18 — In this text the Apostle Paul gives five final commands to the church at Corinth. These include exhortations to be firm, watchful and courageous. These commands have always been relevant to the health of every local church. We would do well to keep them in mind as we embark upon a…
Genesis 10:21-32 — In this study, Steve wraps up the Table of Nations with a look at the Sons of Shem. This is a very important group as we meet the descendants of Shem throughout the pages of Scripture. Indeed, it was through the line of Shem that Messiah would come.
