The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.

This morning Pastors John and Rachel were visiting our “daughter” church in Inverness so we had Iain. The beginning of the recording is a bit peculiar but then, are we not a peculiar people? Iain, not to put too fine a point on it, got “slayed in the Spirit” but once he got going he was awesome. I know you will enjoy and benefit from his 4 point message from Judges 6:11 onwards.

The Gideons

elembankstreet — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 18:08:29 +0000

Wow, the Pastor was on form this morning! First we had what is possibly the best communion message I have ever heard, swiftly followed by the best tithing message bar none, and he wasn’t even preaching today! Instead we had a message of great worth from the president of the Gideons. You know, those nice people who put the bibles in hotel rooms and other places too, as we found out.

Power Tools

elembankstreet — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 12:07:18 +0000

This morning we were on a building site and Pastor John was asking us to pick up some power tools and git started!!

What Do You Believe In The Boat?

elembankstreet — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 12:43:24 +0000

This morning Pastor John preached on Luke 8:22 Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth. It’s really about trusting God and that’s what faith means, isn’t it?

Isaiah 53

elembankstreet — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 12:35:36 +0000

This was a “back to basics” message this morning based on Isaiah 53 and, in particular, verse 5 “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” Pastor John takes us through his 8 point list of things that Christ did for us upon the cross.

Renew Your Mind

elembankstreet — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 16:48:27 +0000

The last in the Spirit Filled Living series of teachings. Renew your mind; In Pastor John’s view possibly the most important action to take in the whole of Christendom.

Aspects of the Word of God

elembankstreet — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 15:40:34 +0000

This morning Pastor John took 2 Timothy 3:16 (“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works”.)… as the starting place for his exposition on Aspects of the Word of God.

Truthfulness

elembankstreet — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 13:57:04 +0000

Psa 51:6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

Janet spoke to us today about honesty in relationships. She is a professional relationship counsellor so there were lots of meaty topics. Some of the things she touched on were the Transactional Analysis discipline and the Parent, Adult, Child construct. There is a huge amount of teaching here to be absorbed. The underlying message is, of course, that we need to be open and honest both in our dealings with each other and with God.

Thanksgiving!

elembankstreet — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 12:22:35 +0000

Thanksgiving is the language of faith! Develop an attitude of gratitude! You should hear Pastor John on this because it works, experientially. Applying these principles will change, not just your daily life but your life daily. So have a listen…

Faith

elembankstreet — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 10:17:32 +0000

This is, possibly, the penultimate teaching in Pastor John’s series on Spirit Filled Living. Pastor begins by telling us that 4 times in scripture God says “The just shall live by Faith” so this is a very important message.

The Making of Mighty Men

elembankstreet — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 13:03:24 +0000

Today Pastor John took the story of the discontented men in the cave with David for his teaching on The Making of Mighty Men. 1Sam 22:1 David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father’s house heard it, they went down thither to him. 1Sam 22:2 And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.
