Character traits of Joseph.

In the message today, Pastor Vic continues looking at the life of Joseph and learning from what he went through.

Joseph is clearly a man of Godly character and integrity; what is it that he does that makes him so?

Listen to this message and hear how Joseph dealt with temptation; how he behaved with compassion and empathy; and how he was a man who generated trust.

NB: recording of message taken from open microphone.

Prosperous in all circumstances.

In the second of our series looking at Joseph, Pastor Vic looks at the verses telling us that Joseph was a prosperous man.

This seems incredible given that Joseph was in slavery and then in jail.

We will see however that our prosperity is not defined by our circumstances but by our relationship with the Lord.

Joseph was a prosperous man because the Lord was with Him; listen to the message and hear that you are the same.

You are allowed to dream!

In the first teaching series of 2015, Pastor Vic starts to look at the lessons we can take from the life of Joseph.

Today we see that Joseph was a dreamer and that, given time and perseverance, his dreams came to pass. The same can be true in your life.

Listen to the message and then start to dream.

JESUS CHRIST: KINSMAN REDEEMER!

Pastor Vic shares another truth, about Jesus, revealed in the Book of Ruth in the Old Testament.

Many born again believers miss out on the 'pictures' of Jesus that are revealed in the Old Testament. In reading and studying the Book of Ruth, we can see that Boaz is a picture of Jesus as our 'kinsman redeemer'. Also, Ruth, although not of the Jewish nation, was used mightily by God and was an ancestor of Jesus.

Once again the Old Testament reveals a 'picture' of Law and Grace.

Christmas 2014 - #4: for unto us.......

In this last message before Christmas, Pastor Vic continues to examine the traditions that have been created about the Birth of Jesus.

He examines the verses in the Old Testament that prophecy the Birth of Jesus and what they mean for us today.

We see that the Old Testament is all about what Jesus is going to do; the Gospels are all about what He is doing; the New Testament is all about what He has done.

We need to examine all scripture so that we will believe the Word of God even if, sometimes, we do not understand it.

Christmas 2014 - #3: On earth peace.......

Pastor Vic continues to show that tradition has stolen away, and hidden, the truth of the Word of God.

At this time of year, we are bombarded with the tradition that Jesus came to bring peace, on earth, throughout mankind. If that is so, then Jesus has failed miserably! In our world there is a distinct lack of peace throughout mankind!

Listen to this message as Pastor Vic explains that the 'peace' spoken of in Luke 2 v 13 - 14 is all about God's peace to man.

 

Christmas 2014 - #2: The Shepherds at Migdal Edar.

Once again, you will have your knowledge and understanding of the Birth of Jesus Christ seriously challenged as Pastor Vic continues to examine the traditional Nativity story.

By rightly dividing the Word, he shows that the tradition of men has perverted the Word and perverted the typology of the Birth of Jesus Christ.

Tradition has stolen the most exciting element of Biblical Typology and, because of this, the reason for the presence of the shepherds, and the place where Jesus was born, has been hidden and lost.

Christmas 2014 - #1: The Wise Men.

Pastor Vic brings the first message of this year’s series about the Birth of Jesus.

If you rightly divide the Word, 2 Tim 2:15, and study it out for yourself, then you will ‘see’ that the ‘tradition of men’, Colossians 2v8, has perverted the Word of God.

In today’s message, Pastor Vic concentrates on the wise men and begins to show that the traditional nativity story of the Birth of Jesus is not in line with the Word of God.

Relationships from Titus. #2

Continuing with the theme of relationships, Pastor Vic reminds us that the Great Commission is not to make converts but it is to make disciples.

Our most important relationship is the one we have with God; however, as we see when Paul writes to Titus, Timothy etc; every born again believer has the responsibility of the teacher/pupil relationship. This relationship enables us to be taught and then to teach. We can then share the Gospel with boldness.

Relationships from Titus

In the message today, recorded later in the evening in Vic's study, we look at two relationships highlighted by Paul to Titus.

The first, and most important, is our relationship with God.

The second is the parent/child relationship we should find within discipleship.

Both are important and both will impact on your life.
