Greetings from MGF in the northeast of Scotland.

No message this week folks as we had a blessed time of worship, testimony and ministry. Hallelujah!

But you can listen to a greeting from Mr. Dave.

God is not the author of temptation.

This week, Nunsy brings a separate message to Pastor Vic's current series..

In James 1 we read, 'Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.'

Now, despite these verses, a doctrine has grown, amongst Christians, that teaches that God will teach us, and strengthen our faith, by putting illness on us or by leading us into difficult situations!

Nunsy brings 5 reasons why God does not tempt us and reminds us that the way we think affects our relationship with God.

How does your doctrine fit in with the finished work of Jesus on the cross?

New Beginnings. #2 - Saul to Paul.

Probably the most dramatic example of a renewed mind, and a changed heart, was Saul becoming Paul!

Pastor Vic encourages us with the understanding that if Saul, after his personnel encounter with the Lord Jesus, could change, then how much more can we change now that we have Paul's experience, recorded in Paul's Epistles, to exhort, edify and encourage us.

Saul's experience, with the help of the Holy Spirit, is the classic example of mind renewal which affected the rest of his life as Paul!

New Beginnings #1 - Apollos.

At this time of a new year many people resolve to change certain aspects of their life. They make what is commonly known as, 'New Year Resolutions.'

Pastor Vic starts a new series, with this message, about new beginnings and shows us, through the example of Apollos, that we need to be teachable, just like Apollos, so that we can change from within.

Apollos is an excellent example of what happens when your mind is renewed. Through the renewing of his mind, Apollos was changed and then he helped to change the world!

Greetings.......

No message this week folks as we had a time of fellowship at Pastor Vic’s home.

We hope that you have had a blessed Christmas and we pray that you will have a blessed 2014!

Who is this Jesus? #4

In his summing up of the previous three weeks, Pastor Vic reminds us that the world is the reason for the season. God did not, and does not, want anyone to perish. However, the responsibility for salvation rests with each one of us.

Pastor Vic reminds us that Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, and the wise men, all believed what they were told about the birth of Jesus.

God's plan was for Jesus to come to earth but it was the belief, and obedience, of people that enabled this plan to come about.

We all have a part to play in God's plan; we need to believe and speak it out!

Who is this Jesus? #3

The traditional Christmas story tells us that Jesus was born in a stable, in Bethlehem.

There is no mention of a stable in God's Word, the Bible. However, there is mention of a place named Migdal Eder which is linked to the Shepherds of the Temple Flock.

Listen as Pastor Vic brings together the significance of these shepherds and this place known as Migdal Eder.

Your knowledge and understanding of the birth of Jesus will be challenged!

Who is this Jesus? #2

Luke 2 v 14 is a scripture that is constantly misquoted, and misused, especially at this time of the year; ie: Christmas.

We need to have knowledge and understanding of the Word so that we can share the truth of the Word to all we talk with.

Pastor Vic reminds us that Jesus is the Prince of Peace; peace to us from God the Father.

Who is this Jesus? #1

In Matthew 16 v 13 - 16 Jesus asks this question of the disciples: "But whom say ye that I am?"

The World thinks of Jesus in many ways and some of the World even denies He existed.

Pastor Vic starts off this year's Christmas messages and asks us the same question: "Who is this Jesus?"

Born again? You are righteous! #2

Pastor Vic continues to share from 2 Corinthians 5 : 17 - 21 and we hear that, because of what Jesus has done, we have been reconciled to God! There is now nothing between God and man!

And, as born again believers, we have a ministry of reconciliation and we are ambassadors for Jesus Christ because we are citizens of heaven!

Our part is to believe, accept and receive the truth of the Word!
