I was privileged this morning to be able to give the last in a series of six talks to the family at New Life, Scunthorpe. The series “Big on the Inside” was aimed at helping believers committ to the process of becoming the mature and resilient disciples that Jesus desires.
The final talk, based on Ephesians 6:10 was called “Superstrength”. This one verse, which perhaps should have been the real start to the final chapter, encapsulates Paul’s main point to the church in Ephesus and, at this time, to New Life; “Finally, be strong in the Lord”.
To discover why finding our strength in God and not from within is so important, listen to this podcast and join with the newlifers gathered at The House in Scunthorpe.
God bless you and thanks for visiting therevster.com

Why is it so important for us to try and comprehend how little we have to do in order to have our lives transformed by God? It is important in order that we can truly live a full and rich life that pleases God. On Sunday I was privileged to give the second talk in a series of 6 based on the New Testament letter to the Ephesians and the talk called “Good Work” was based on chapter 2.
Starting with two key characters, Apostle Paul and the reformer Martin Luther I explain why God’s work is the source and catalyst of any good work we undertake.
Join with the congregation of newlifers at The House in Scunthorpe as we learn how to have a new perspective on living a life full of good work.

Have you ever been in prison? OK you don’t have to bare your soul and perhaps your chequered history in the comments section, but maybe you’ve been in prison in a different way. Maybe imprisoned by fear, loneliness, trapped in a relationship or bound in a cycle of addiction. If so then then this podcast is just for you and may just help you turn the key in your prison door enough to see the first glimmer of hope and light bursting through.
“Unchained melody” is the first in a series of six talks based on the biblical letter to the Ephesians and will help you become a bigger person, big on the inside.
This was also my first sermon since the news of Michael Jackson’s death, so as a homage and to keep those who enjoy their sermons “lite” happy I have inserted over 10 of MJ’s song titles throughout my talk. See how many you can spot.
God bless you as you join the believers of New Life Church who are gathered at The House to hear this message.
