Recently, Peter and June, Clare & I, and Matt Chapman went to join our friends at City Church Bristol (a New Frontiers - NFI - Church) to hear Terry Virgo preach.

The audio from the message he preached (from Exodus 4) is available here. (Right click to download or click to listen on line).

Being here in the USA it is interesting to wake up and be able to watch some “Christian” TV (it makes for interesting devotions!!!)

Joel Osteen is, perhaps, a name you aren’t familar with yet, but is he a phenomenon over here! He was recently on national TV (on shows like Larry King Live and “60minutes” - I think) and you can pretty much pick up his books everywhere. He is the pastor of the biggest church in the USA. If you haven’t heard of him yet, you probably will soon.

So, in preparation for his “arrival” in the UK, it is well-worth watching this short video of Mark Driscoll on Osteen’s prosperity teaching.

(Thanks to Dan Hames of UCCF for the link)

This coming Sunday we have the wonderful privilege of having Gareth Lloyd come and preach to us from God’s Word!

Gareth is the Senior Pastor of Sovereign Grace Church of Merthyr Tydfil, in Wales and is married to Angela. They have 6 children: Matthew, Thomas, Daniel, Matty, Lydia and Katie-Beth.

I’m really excited about Garteh coming to Grace Church and eagerly anticipate him preaching God’s Word to us. I’m excited because Gareth is a good friend. I’m excited because he is also one of my favourite preacher’s of God’s Word. I’m excited to have him (and his entire family) come and spend time with you fine folks in Grace Church. I’m excited about how God is going to graciously use Gareth for our edification, encouragement and provocation!

In preparation for Sunday’s Message, let me encourage you to read and meditate on John 6:15-25.

Just as I was reflecting back over last Sunday’s message in our caregroup last night, I thought I’d draw your attention to a really useful commentary on Hebrews.

For the past few weeks I’ve been reading and studying the Book of Hebrews in my devotions. To aid me in my reading and study I’ve been using the Reformed Expository Commentary on Hebrews by Richard D. Phillips.

Richard Phillips is the senior minister of First Presbyterian Church in Coral Springs/Margate, Florida, USA. This commentray is available from Amazon.

Hebrews was written to a group of Jewish Christians facing persecution for their faith in Christ and yet speaks to every generation of Christians about standing firm in Jesus Christ. It wonderfully presents the surpassing supremacy of Jesus Christ, seen particularly from the vantage point fo the Old Testament.

The effect of reading Hebrews? As we fix our eyes on the greatness of Jesus Christ it will be an anchor for our souls in midst of persecution and suffering, and strengthen our faith!
